    A 20 year old, full license(clean), 1 years no claims... on a Clio 172?


    honestly there's way too many insurance companies to go through so if anyone has any experience with getting a car like this insured with similar stats then let me know please!

    well unfortunatly with the power of the car, your age and only 1 years ncb you're going to have to call them all to get a quote.

    Also try some brokers, my brother said Glennons have always given him the best quotes.

    i have a hatch with similar stats, (golf mk4 180bhp), absolute nightmare getting a decent quote. In the end i waited until i was 21 and got a reasonable quote.

    places that might give you an ok quote are britton, quinn direct (probably your best bet even though i hate them!), and smaller brokers...

    best of luck!

    my advice would be if your near your 21st birthday hold out until then!

    Well I wouldn't be doing it until June as that's when the policy runs out on the current car and birthday is in October...

    so might be best to just hang on for another bit...

    thanks for the advice! much appreciated.

    nice choice of a car the clio 172 is a great little car to drive, as much fun as a 106 gti but way faster!! :D

    Who are you insured with at the minute?? ask them to quote you and if they refuse then go to 3 other companies and if they all refuse get proof that they failed to quote you and go back to your orignal insurance company and they will have to quote you, I done this and expected the quote to be something huge and unreasonable but it was a very reasonable quote, worth a try anyway

    before or after i hit 21?
    before i was getting quotes in the region of 4 grand. its stupid how much a loading they put on for the gti badge. even an s3 would have been alot cheaper to insure. in fact the gti was the dearest to insure out of all the cars i was looking at even though it was by no means the fastest.

    then when i turned 21 i got a quote for 1700 fully comp which im happy with.

    Hey there, have you tried looking at Tesco Car Insurance? They're quite reasonable, and are one of the only companies whose online quote actually works! The others all say they haven't got enough information to make a decision and whatnot.
    What's even better is that the online price you get is the one they'll insure you for! If you're not happy, you might be able to get a better deal by calling them? :)
    Well worth a look anyways!
