    For those of who you can only pay in monthly installments I noticed Kwik-fit were charging a whopping 39.9% APR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Being an old git, insurance isn't that expensive for me, but if any of you young 'uns are looking for insurance and can only pay monthly, avoid kwik-fit like the plague. They quote the annual price, but when quoting the monthly payment method, they only give the deposit followed by the repayments - they don't quote the total figure. (the 39.9%APR is in small print). At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!

    Anyone heard of a higher APR rate than 39.9% ?

    Here's the small print garabge they give you with their online quote: Note if the 39.9% isn't bad enough they charge you a credit card fee and an Online payment fee !!!!  I've never seen that one before. An online quote penalising you for paying online?  Tongue Tied

    The £850 accidental excess for a 19 year old ain't too clever either.  As I said, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

    edit: not sure why the cut 'n paste table isn't displaying the figures but the credit card fee is £2.50 and the online payment fee is £1.00

    Terms
    APR: 39.9%
    Credit Card: £2.50
    Online payment fee: £1.00
    Accidental damage excess: £550.00
    Fire & theft excess: £250.00
    Windscreen excess: £60
    In addition, if you are
    aged 17-20: £300
    aged 21 to 24: £200
    aged 25 or over but full
    licence less that 1 year
    £100
    These excesses apply in addition to the accidental
    damage excess shown above
    This policy covers you to drive any other cars

     Oh my God, that's unbelievable!   Devil 

    You'd have to be in the 'super looser' bracket to need a loan from them.
