Insurance Starlet Gt/glanza

[starletsy]

Getting fed up of this question being asked every week so:

The GT/Glanza being an import is subject to a wide range of insurance figures. Insurance companies often give an "import only" premium which can be 100% more than an equivalent UK car if there was such a thing...

The insurance group they quote can be anything form 8 to 16 with the "import only" premium on top.

Some people are paying upwards of £ 2000 for Starlet Turbo insurance, third party, fire & theft - because they're usually younger drivers, in an imported car, thats quite fast...

Places to try are:

Elephant (you will have to phone though)

Tesco's (same as above)

Adrian Flux

Bell direct

Footman james

Keith Michaels

Simon (cheers Andrew)

The same is basically true of Seras.

Also, avoid using the internet for car insurance. !!!

Visit the insurance company or ring up. Internet sites give you a price for cover, but there is no-one to negotiate a deal with.

[Nipponneil]

The only people who gave me a quote on my modified imported Glanza V were Adrian FLux. And it was a very good quote. So that's all I got to say about that.

[DDC]

Anybody been insured at 18 on parents name if so how much?

[Tom_London]

hey, just joined, this is the exact question i want to know, looking for a car to get around feb time, at which time i will be 19 (just turned) and will have one years no claims but got pass plus etc with norwich union. does the starlet Turbo actually have a group?i was going to spend out a bit on insurance to get a civic 1.5lsi coupe but having just been in my mates starlet i have converted! you proabably get this question all the time?is anyone else similar to me gettin decent quotes?

[Tom_London]

just got a quote off elephant for £3830 which is a joke lol, no way am i paying that!

[starletsr]

I am 22 female, 2NCB with pass plus, got a quote from elephant for £670 full com, but Diamond quoted me £640 full com.

Norwich union don't deal with anyone under 25 with a turbo.

The group can be between something like 9-16 i think...

[starlet04]

Hi, i just bought a starlet gt so ive just gone through this whole insurance thing! Im 21, been driving for 2 years but on my mums insurance so no no claims discount and im paying just short of £1000 per year with the AA insured by zurich insurance. I think its quite reasonable really.

To find my quote i just went to autotrader.co.uk and let them search for quotes for me (it helps if you have the reg number). It takes about 5 mins!

[Captain Starlet]

Im 18 and under my mums insurance 500 quid ,there a group 5,on my own they wanted about 2400,but now its gone down a tad,on my own they want 1700ish

Thats with CIS

[Rubix_cube]

Im with CIS too...

20, No NCB on my dads policy it's £865

Not even try'd putting it in my own name...i couldnt afford it just now!

[starletsr]

:o CIS?! I called them up and they said they don't do import turbo cars :cacker: bunch of liers!!

Maybe they picking on me cos iam a girl :D :P

Oh well, iam with Diamond now

[Rubix_cube]

Yeah supposedly they only way I got insured was because my dad has been with them for like 15years and never had an acciedent.

[girlyracer]

i'm with diamond.

i'm 27, with 0 no claims, i've had one accident and that's with the other half on the policy who has 9 points.

£680

i thought that was pretty cheap considering norwich union direct wanted £1404!!!!

lottie

[scutch0]

can anyone reccomend any companies that insure cars with engine conversions?

im with norwich union,im 20, 1yrs no claims paying £800 tpft all mods declared.

but they will not allow engine conversions of any kind N/A or turbo.

Cheers

Rich.

[starletsr]

Best thing is to ring up the companies suggested on here and see what they say, norwich union will not insure people under 25 on turbos.

[scutch0]

kool.
