Mmm, spect so, I would like to be able to let Andrew drive my buggy, and hopefully
after next year might be able to.

I use Premium Choice, its about £140 fully comp, and includes 10,000 miles a year usage.

Got my renewal from Flux today £125 with an agreed valuation.  So hit the phones for the annual ring around ... called Youngs ..£220!!  Called Pickles £105.  Youngs called me back £100 plus breakdown (wow £120 drop and I did nothing!!).  Called Flux £99 including breakdown and agreed valuation (with Kinetic)  :D :D

Buggy insured again for another year and I have a no claims on this policy that is building  :D :D

MOT at the end of the week as well ... hope it warms up  :)

Does anyone know who will insure a Buggy for a Young driver? (even younger than Hazel) as I have a friend of mine with a Buggy he would like to get on the road but he is only 18

Those mentioned so far will not even quote due to his age.

I added my son on as a named driver on our old Californian buggy, it didn't work out too bad from memory, about £250.00

I can't remember how old he was at the time, early 20s for sure.

Thats the problem though Jeff, Early twenties a while back appears to be very different to under twenty nowadays.

Well I have to report that Adrian Flux have just committed the cardinal sin as far as I am concerned.

Attempting to renew my policy without my authorisation, and trying to charge it to my credit card, despite me requesting that they do not retain my card details on file from last time.

Bloody Annoyed  >:(
