They believe if they wouldn't actually drive the truck it would be fraud for one of them to be the main driver

Hello mate

I've had a two surfs an a land rover discovery 300tdi ES.

Im now 21 an my current surf has sh!t loads of modifications.






First of all i went to www.aquote.co.uk - wasn't cheap. First lot of insurance was £1600. Then i sold the surf an got a disco which was £3000 (so i sold it after a few months!!)
an then back to a surf (the black one above) insurance was £1500 an then last year was £850 with all mods. This year coming is abotu £700 with all mods.

the 4 figure quotes were all at aquote.

the cheaper ones were with Adrian flux. Give them a call an sort it out.

If your driving a corsa, Enjoy it before it goes.

I had a fiesta 1.3 as my first car an it was great on fuel. £26 (at the time) to fill it up an in the few months i drove it i never used a full tank of petrol.

The first surf cost be about £10 just to drive it home

But trust me.... there awesome!!!

Ah well, my dad/mam wouldn't insure themselves as the main driver because it's 'fraud' so looks like there isn't really a way to get insured at all.

You could ask someone with less moral fibre to adopt you?

hahaha yeah go on that is yet another brill idea....
Go on Bio u adopt him..... the poor lad wants to drive a surf


see u think ur bonkers u fit right in here..


on a more serious note u not good some good uncle or something?

In fairness, most insurance companys are wise nowadays.

If you say "Hello, im insuring a japanese import 4x4 an i want my 17 year old son insured on it"

they will probably tell your Dad to get lost!!

I wanted to add my dad to my policy just 'incase' he needed to drive it!!
I was warned against it unless it was nessesary as i would be 'stung'



also, little tip!

Get 3rd party fire & theft.

My dad got insured on my old fiesta before it was sold an he just asked for 3rd party only an it was over £500!!!!

It was f**k all when he moved it to 3rd party, fire & theft.

Its a stange thing, almost like... the higher the level of cover the more likely you are to look after the damn thing!

Something isn't right here...




Selecting a 2.4 or 3.0 barely makes any difference, and even though i selected £400 excess I seem to be at such a price point where It's £0 excess by default...

[RodLeach]

wow - Thats not so good.


Have you called Adrian flux?!
An not being rude but are you in a 'dodgy' area?!

Postcode affects a lot when it comes to insurance.

Funny enough, I live in a rather weathly estate named Darras Hall in the village of Ponteland. It's where most of the Newcastle footballers live!

I haven't called Adrian Flux yet, just tried their online quote system

Give flux a call tomorrow sometime mate an see what they can do for you.

They offer decent discounts for limited mileage policys an if i were you, I'd check out there website an join a club thats releated an offers insurance discounts with him.

Every little helps.

I can see how an expensive estate would mean you get high insurance. Unless they expect you to be offering lifts to the local footballers.

[biosurf]

Probably worth you joining GLASS if you go with Flux as they offer up to 15% discount for members (but bear in mind thats up to so could be anything) worht joining GLASS anyway though

I remember getting silly quotes when i started driving, most expensive was just under £7000 for a 1.1 ford fiesta and it was over 10 years old! in the end the cheapest i could get was a little over £3000 which i had to pay as i needed a car for work.

I then found out that it would have been cheaper to insure a large diesel family estate like a Volvo. I was told that this was because not many boy racers drive diesel family estate cars.

Give Adrian Flux a call and see what they can offer.

I don't think you will get insurance for less than £3000. for a surf of a fiesta.

Just stick it out and get some no claims years and it will soon drop.

I have a 3 Ltr 3Gen, fully comp, off road cover, and protected no claims etc £600. Thats with 5 years no claims and driving.

Oh and you will knock your car at least once in you first years driving, at least with a surf it will only dent/scratch but a pug etc will just fall apart.

good luck
