Im 26 , have been driving for 10 years in the US, but just got my UK license, and Im now paying 730 for just (3rd Party) on a 1999 2.0 Gti (insurance group 10) with KwikFit, which was the cheapest I could find., When I was looking at different insurance quotes, I could not believe what some of these places were trying to charge me. I also found out how much a difference it makes depending on your postcode. Cities being basically double for me what a countryside address would be. For example, I looked at what fully comp on a 2000 4motion would cost me in Manchester, and on one website (AA) they wanted something like 4 grand.
The Insurance game is a big scam, just try and look around. Im still trying to get my head round how it works.!!!!!
