Fronting, (getting parents to cover the car for you) usually is very dodgy. You will typically not be able to use the car as the main driver or use it for going to work/college.
You will find that an older car will benefit from a lower premium so why not get a 5-10 year old Integra type R or perhaps even an Accord Type R, they are great fun and should be cheaper to insure than the new Civic Type R.
With older cars this improves even more. If you get a classic you will find the insurance substantially cheaper. Even larger american cars can be insured for less through specialists.
At 21 the insurance will drop and then at 25 there is a massive drop. Getting the insurance 1 day after your birthday can save ££££'s. |
Yeah you're telling me. Now I've played around with others, like the 1998 Civic 1.6 Vtec Type R....
... And thats more. £3800, or there abouts.
I've yet to phone up somewhere, mind, but is it possible they're putting a premium on to deter people my age getting into a 200bhp car? I wouldnt be surprised, because your average knobhead is exactly that. But it'd be a shame to miss out on this car, because lets face it. Its sexy.
I'll look into older Type R's again though, once I've stopped procrastinating at work!
