scouk Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Same story across the board I'm afraid... Seems very rare if your insurance has come done in the last 2-3 years (mine has amazingly but not by much). It's just goign up and and up and up... Getting under £500 seems like you should get a prize, most I beleive are payign £500->£1000.. Mine is £550 at the moment with Keith Michaels (renewal due at the end of the year). But sadly imports do tend to cost more.. Also seems that hte older hte car the more expensive it is as well. But then you pay the whopping big road taxes on teh newer ones.. you can't win Link to comment
smiffy852 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Got my renewal through at £2730! Eventually got it down to £1400 ish with admiral. Spose me being 22 doesn't help. Link to comment
smiffy852 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Got a tracker installed by the previous owner, but it's not activated, that's about £150 a year I think. But I put it into the quote online and the quote went up £100. How does that work? Thought it would bring it down if anything. Link to comment
scouk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 yep.. heard that one quite a lot in recent years too... Used to be insurance companies insisted the Impreza had a tracker fitted.. Some insurance companies even paid to get one fitted! Not seems a different story.. If track is fitted you must have something people want to steal so premioum goes up.. Insurance today is totally brain dead IMHO.. As for 'young drivers' yeah insurance for anything under £1000 is damn near impossible.. Getting it under 2k is pretty good going! I held off buying an impreza until I was 25, even then it was just under a grand.. Very difficult to get insurance on an impreza around 20 y/o Which, no offence to anyone, isn't necessarily a bad thing.. ... Problem is, you then get people driving them without insurance.. Which is even worse Link to comment

Which is even worse I'm £1100 with ecar on my turbo 2000, pretty happy as I'm only 22 myself! Was with asdaonline before and there rewenal was a jump of £1000 on the previous year. When ringing them they said there prices were in line with Market rises! Link to comment
smiffy852 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Lol it's a joke! Done well getting it down to that! I looked around every where and couldn't find any cheaper. Link to comment
notsosmall Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Got a tracker installed by the previous owner, but it's not activated, that's about £150 a year I think. But I put it into the quote online and the quote went up £100. How does that work? Thought it would bring it down if anything. I was thinking of having a garage built last year to keep my impreza in so put it on a quote to see how much i could save and it actually went up over a hundred £ extra as a pose to sitting in full view in a drive way!?!?!? Just plain crazy Im 30 own my own house and still add my mum on my policy as a named driver and it saves me about £120 a year!?! work that out? Link to comment
j wrx tonkins Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ffs it pisses me off when people some how manage to get there insurance cheaper im 24 with six years no claims and second year of ownership and i couldnt get it any cheaper than £1500 so how can a 22 year old get it cheaper it just doesnt add up Link to comment
MarkJHarris Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 All down to postcode. you'd get it cheaper if you moved in with him! simples! Link to comment

I have my wife on mine and apparently even though she's only had her license 3 years, she actually reduces my premiums. Link to comment
david12scooby Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 but are there insurance fully comp or 3rd party i have just turnt 25 and i pay 1200 fully compon my turbo 2000 and protect my n/b thats with directline and they siad i had to have a tracker but didnt ask if it had an alarm lol Link to comment
wasbo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Tracker are owned by rbs insurance who in turn own directline I think!!! So work out why they insist on having one fitted. Link to comment
pablofb Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 First post so if I don't know the protocols, let me know. I swapped from Swiftcover when they jacked the premium despite adding another years NCB. I was recommended to Keith Michaels and I have to say I was imprezed. It's a small company and there's one guy who really knows the market when it comes to Subaru. In other words make sure you speak to him! He saved me a considerable amount but when the policy docs came I'm with Norwich Union which is nice. Just to be sure; I have no connection with any part of the insurance industry.

dannycelluk Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Im currently with Elephant and i have been with them for the last 8 years. I am paying £750 tpft at the moment. I am 28 with 8 years no claims no points and no crashes. I also live in an ok area. 99UK Turbo 2000. Everywhere i have rang round has been above £1000 and alot of places say they wont insure me without a tracker. grrr Every renewal with elephant i ring up and say i will only stay with them if they lower their price. They normally do lower it, but only by 20-30 quid, but its worth asking at your renewal. Edited November 8, 2011 by dannycelluk Link to comment

One claim December 09 at Fault. 2003 WRX STI With Mods declared. £1000 With Keith Michaels. Most Companies charge more for having a Tracker because if a car gets stolen they would rather it was not found. Link to comment
danny85turbo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Insurance is due next Tuesday. I'll be 26. 6 years NBC. 2002 wrx sti prodrive. Tracker. £1500!! Can't get it down! Gonna have to sell!! £1000 last year aswell. Link to comment
scouk Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Have to admit.. No matter how loyal I am to Subaru if insurance was costing me over £1,000 the car would probably be taken off the road or sold. Fortunately it's £550 or something.. renewal due end of decemeber.. Link to comment
danny85turbo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's a joke. Just can't pay that much. I've had Subaru's for a few years now and I don't want another car!! No other option now. Link to comment
danny85turbo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just got a quote from DIRECT LINE £996!!!! Link to comment
buttons Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yep totally agree with you all. Thankfully mine is £490 with Admiral multicar with £100 excess but I am 35. But as it has been bought up already, TRACKERS are a joke, they come as standard but if you say it is working your insurance goes up by £100+ How thick are they? Is it because it would cost them more if the car was to be found if stollen and it would cost them more? Insurance companies please explain to us!!!!!! Link to comment
