Hi People,

Just wondering if people can suggest any decent insurance companies for when I insure my Cooper. I'm 21 with zero years no claims and was wondering what the best quote people had received and from who?

All suggestions welcome,

Taff

Try Norwich Union or MINI Insurance. They offered me the best quotes.

I am with http://www.elephant.co.uk They were the cheapest for me.

Smiffy,
Don't mean to bad mouth your company (they only pay your wages anyway), but here goes anyway. What happens if you have a crash / accident and you cannot speak to anyone as it all has to be done through the interent and e-mail. I have heard stories from tow people who had trouble with elephant after they had had accidents. You only find out what an insurance company is really like once you need them, so to speak. Admiral are crap

I am 25 with 2 years no claims and Churchill were the cheapest, even cheaper than elephant. £550 full comp for my Cooper.

Tesco? (as recommended by the finance person at the dealer when I asked about MINI insurance

)
Halifax - but I think you need at least a year of NCD

This thread has links to LeiChat's database containing premiums paid for the Cooper and One. Sorry, no ages, but you can make a shrewd guess from the licence date.

Minty, i just had a quote from elephant and it was scary for me £774 and change for a 34 year bloke in staffordshire and one 3 year old speeding conviction. I also tried my current insurers who insure my modded classic and they quoted £482 which is much better, My insurers are Adrian S Flux they specialise in modified cars, classic cars and kit car but also have a performance division so i could be said that they cater for everybody, worth a try.

I use Elephant becasue they were lots cheaper than anyone else for me. I was 19 when I got my One insured and I pay around £700 a year. I have 3 years no clams.
