HotRod Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Does anyone have experience of insuring a 17 year-old for (their own) Land Rover use? It would be a great first car and project for my son - but is reasonably priced insurance available for a 17 yr old student? Any particular brokers? Is it available through 'classic' cover for a Series model, or can an early 90 be covered? Thoughts appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It's never gonna be cheap but it should be as doable as anything else. A Series will probably be cheapest as they're slow and don't really get nicked for parts like some other models do. Early defenders may also be OK. Try NFU and Adrian Flux as a starter for quotes.

Bowie69 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 'Classic' cover is generally only available to over 21's or over 25's in some cases... Try CIS -they have always been very competitive for young drivers, and don't mind mods too much, as long as you tell them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongie2a Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 CIS you are kidding! wanted £3k to insure me, at 17 on a 1967 88" Diesel I went to Footman james, for I believe around £1000, but was TPFT They are insuring me now, but earlier this year quoted me (at 20) £302 on a 1973 300 Tdi 5 Speed Series 3 109" not bad at all.

HotRod Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks for the replies - any more experiences? A lightweight on parabolic springs would make a lot of sense & be pretty good offroad, thanks for the idea [quote name='redben101' I was insured in my own name for TPFT for £500 through Norwhich Union Van policy That's interersting - presumably it was for a solid-sided hardtop L/R then? Is a van easier to insure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardatherton Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Quotes vary so much that the only way to do it is spend a morning/day ringing round them all. Write down the prices/cover then ring a few with the lowest quotes and see if they will knock a bit more off. Repeat this until you get the best price!

Keith Keir Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I am 19 and when i tryed to get insurance for the first time it was around £1500 TPFT. Then this year it went down to £900 but that was under car insurance witch when i put my reg plate in nothing comes up. So i gave van insurance a go and when i put my reg plate in it came up with my car details so i thought this is maby this is where my land rover should go that came out in the end at a low £400 TPFT witch is fine for me EDIT: o ye btw thats on a 1999 TD5 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 When I spoke to Gloucester NFU last autumn, they told me they wouldn't insure an under-25 on a classic policy / series landie. Adrian Flux gave me a stonking deal though, even considering I had a few points at the time. Try them, they're not bad - and they're not pushy.
