I'm 19, driving 2 years, perfect record. For a 1.4 litre base model Ford Escort, they want £1800.

I'm looking at an 8th gen 1997 Mitsubishi Galant 2.5 V6-24, they want £3900 for comprehensive insurance for that.

What I'll probably do is insure my mum's car (2002 Peugeot 206 1.4 LX) on my name with her as named driver (about £1300) and then she insures the Galant on her name with me as named driver, for £1300. That way it's £2300 in total (mum's insurance on Pug 206 is £300 alone) for cover on the Galant, which is only £500 more than the base model Escort, for a MUCH nicer car.


That's the plan for a couple of months once i get some money from my new job for a deposit on the Galant 🙂

What a coincidence! That's what I've been working on right now! Mine's about $700/6months for a 94 Camry for 2ppl. 30/60 coverage in CA through AllState.

I pay just over $300/mo on a 350Z, and I'm 23 with an almost perfect record. I have no speeding tickets, just one very minor accident (although my rates were this high when my record *was* perfect). I live in OK which apparently has horrible insurance rates, so feel lucky. I believe New Jersey is the worst, however.

[edit]Oh, I'm with Geico. They've been excellent to work with. They were the cheapest I could find on my current vehicle and my previous vehicles.[/edit]

you guys can just deposit 15000 or something at the dmv and you won't have to pay for insurance.

What's up with car insurance companies charging males under 25 more? Isn't that sexual and age discrimination? Let's assume here that statistically speaking, males under 25 are higher risks of bad driving habits--so what? That's not all males under 25. If we were to work with the same line of thinking, suppose statistics show that the majority of jail inmates are black. The clerks at a store are told by the owner that because of the what the statistics show, whenever a black person walks into the store, they should take extra precautions to keep an eye on the black person, because according to statisics, black people are prone to criminal tendencies. Would not any person who engages in such behavior then be guilty of racial discrimination? Of course according to the owner's way of thinking, since a black person is more likely to commit a crime, he'd be smart to not hire black people as clerks right? How is this sort of discrimination any different than what car insurance companies do to us males under 25? Just because some black people commit crimes, doesn't mean they all do. Just because some males under 25 are bad drivers, doesn't mean we all are.
