Well I got caught 5 months go and im doing a drink releahabation course and i was only 18 when i was caught. just wondering how much my insurance will go up by? cheers
 
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 18 and a male too. I will be 19 when I get my license back though.

I've had quotes of 'Specialist websites' of £7,500 minimum. (Third party!)

The only option i've got is to get a moped as the insurance on that is £2,000 minimum (With a £800 excess & Third party!)

Regards.
 
I don't know why people still ask this. No one can answer it unless they're a customer service advisor for your insurance company, can they! Just go on to confused.com, comparethemarket.com or insuresupermarket.com and put in your details. Simples!

For the record - I was banned for 12 months (9 with course) with a reading on 104 in breath. I'm 29, male. Before ban my insurance was about £250 - after it went up to about £330 and Adrian Flux was the cheapest quote I got.
 
I was 18 when i was caught too. Before the ban i was paying £300 per year on my mums insurance. Don't go on price comparison sites, as they are automatically assessed by computer, and often give heart-dropping quotes!! The best thing to do is either ring an insurer or broker, or visit them in person. You may be surprised at how cheap you can get insurance. It may still be expensive, but it will be managable.

My ban ends in 5 weeks time, and when i get re-insured, i'll come back here and post what i'm paying and what i'm driving.
 
Just paid for mine, banned for thirteen months and paid £946.25 for two cars, 5 litre Merc @ 3 litre 4x4. Six years no claims on one & one year NC on the other. This was with Admiral Multicar, a lot cheaper than I thought it would be.
 
What age are you, Neverwillagain? As i 19 year old, i can only dream of such a good deal. But, you never know, i may get insured for cheaper!!
 
Yeah, they usually take 1 or 2 days to email you the quote. They quoted me over 15k!! I'd give them a ring instead.
 
i have tried all compare websites, all coming up over 1500 pound,friend workd for tesco insurace, thought i would try,,, 616pound,,,, so all plz give this a try ,,, thought this would help,

Tesco has been my saving grace also. Adrian Flux said £3000 and comparison websites £1800 top 5 quotes.

Tesco - £800 on a 1.5 Almera, I'm 26.


Still a lot, but is manageable thankfully for me!
 
WOW!

Renewal time. Adrian Flux no longer competitive AT ALL (as other posters have indicated). Tesco much, much cheaper than anyone else, and they include a free MOT and Service (and clubcard points too, lol!). Kudos to Preston2002.
 
I've also had the best quote from tesco, £400 <anywhere else. I will be getting insurance through them, so thanks for that preston. just hope I never have to claim, as have looked at customer reviews online, and there customers dont speak very highly of them. Though with the premiums they offer, I have to take that chance.

21 days to go:cool:
 
glad i have helped,,,, i have 24 days left.....car sitting outside, taxed, insured,mot, tank full,... cant wait,,,just wanted to say its been a long 18months.and a very expensive time,,,, but a little tip, to all of you starting a ban,,, i got me one of thoose, tins, the ones that you cant open umless you use tinopener,,, every week, i would put in my money that i would have used for fuel,,, and also put in my insurance money, every week, so when the time came to open it, i could afford to pay my insurance,, have deff leant my lesson, and believe me , i will never get in my car, with a drink inside me,,,, i have deff learnt the hard way,,,,, good luck to all of you facing a medical,, its not as bad as you think,,,, its just the time scale, it takes waiting for the results ,,,will still keep looking on here,its been very helpfull, and thanks to all who have got me through my long ban,,,,,
 
I'm sitting here in the same boat too, Banned two months ago into a 24 month ban (Reduced down to 18 months with the drink drive course, Of which I fully intend to take!)

Just did an inital insurance qoute on a 2.0HDi 307 Peugeot and it's coming up as £5k TPFT (Adjusted age and disqualification dates so that I had a rough idea of what to expect in 18 months time) I mean I expected it to go up drastically but this is insane.

Going screwy here without the car though, Defo saving some money for my dream car on the last day :)

Any other recommendations other than Tesco? Who under-writes them?
 
Just tried tescos. 2.6k if i dont put in the conviction. 3.5k if i do. Not as bad as i thought. i thought it would double or worse
