Decent Price Insurance For A MK5 GTI?
« on: November 05, 2015, 05:59:54 pm »
Hi all!

I'm new on here and I could do with some advice!! I'm looking at buying a mk5 GTI but I'm finding it tricky to find insurance at a sensible price :\ I'm 23 with 4 year no claims and can't find anything under a grand, so who are people insured with and what're people paying?

Cheers, Dan!

Normalising that to 12 months = Just under £1200  :wink:

Cheers for all the replies, so it's seems the standard for my sort of age is about a grand then, I wouldn't mind so much but it's a big jump from £380 fully comp for my mk1 caddy! :')

JackL15 - being a family policy I assume you have to have other cars insured to get that sort of price?

We have three cars on the policy, I'm sure that does bring it down.

Adrian Flux are a good company to go with, they've given me some good prices over the past few years. Also Greenlight, Sky and HIC are worth giving a shout, they're all specialist brokers for performance/modified cars.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
