fully comp

icys rite..

fc?

buy a shitter n get fc for that but dont actually drive it, jus to build ur ncb

dont have the cash to pay for it just now, at college, by then ill have a job and wil be able to, and after spending near 3000 modding the car 2 :|

^^^ spot on advice!!! i 2 learnt the hard way!! could have had 3 years ncb by now :mad:

also a thatcham cat 1 alarm

i cant afford that though :) afetr a year or 2 i will get my own policy

not only that but while your insured as a named driver and go under your mums NCB, you wont gain any yourself, so when you do insure a car yourself, you will be starting from 0 years NCB.

Best advice, if you've just passed your test, get your Pass-Plus done, this will knock some off the insurance in your own name, plus most insurance companies also run a no-claims accelerator, where you get 1 years NCB if you have pass plus (is what I did)...

but insurance when I first started driving at 18 was £1100 Fully Comp on a 1.4 Corsa! This was nearly 5 years ago though!

well u cant claim two protected claims bonus its illegal so the car ur mum is using either had the NCB protected or u hav it as a named driver on the corsa

best insurance company in Uk with premium unde 500, me (18) insured under mums anem, me as names driver , 6 years no claims(protected) with all mods declared (body kit, 17s, lowerd, b'box, ICE, no engine mods maybe induction kit but not at mo) Third party fire and theft, as i wont want to make a claim for accidents because the premium would go up.

1.2 8v 1994 corsa, that cat1 alarm also fitted
