Rabid 1,936 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Pass plus is the way forward for young drivers. Can cut the price of insurance in half if your lucky. Think it's about 150 quid but you can ring round and tell them you been quoted cheaper. Some will come down in price My cousin did this and got his pass plus for 50 quid and was only out of home for 2 hours rather than the full day. He didn't care as he only wanted the paper work and not the training.. One of my lads has this, when I wanted to insure him on my vans it made sod all difference, but I have heard it's supposed to be a good thing usually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,443 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 The insurance company's monitor the box and I have been told from a driving instructor about a young man who had his insurance cancelled without warning and they kept his deposit. I guess he was driving a short while without insurance?.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 My lad did pass plus after he passed his test at 17. Made no difference at all. They still wanted £4000 to put him on the wife's £500 Corsa as a named driver. He didn't even drive the first year after his test. I understand kids are a slightly higher risk than older guys, but that's nothing short of taking the piss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcherman 887 13,095 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Isn't it much cheaper in Wales? I've heard of quotes of thousands back in manchester. My eldest (23) has got a lease car which is all inclusive of insurances etc which sounds like a good deal and much cheaper than buying a banger and then insuring it. Thats the problem, she did not buy a banger, she bought a 5 grand diesel and the insurance is over a grand. The problem is that they fecking lied and said there would not be any penalty for night time driving when there clearly is. We had cheaper quotes but went with them for that reason. TC Over a grand id say shes doing alright ive been driving 10 years and mine over 2 grand !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob284 1,682 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Tell them what they stated, if they deny it, request recorded proof. If they cannot provide that proof they should refund you. I had the same issue last year as I wanted to leave and they wasn't going to refund me my 10 months id paid up front. I did the above and they eventually refunded me in full £600. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did the above and they eventually refunded me in full £600. It's not an issue with the cost of the insurance, it's the fact that they told her she would not be penalised for night driving and she is. As it stands now she only has 13% no claims discount where because of her style of driving it should be at least double that. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
