sophiaagracee Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 hiya guys, I'm new here obviously! Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their insurance on their lupo's? my boyfriend has a g40 polo and since i saw it i have been obsessed with vw's! I'm learning to drive now and trying to convince my dad to buy me a lupo 1.4 tdi, but some of the insurance quotes are ridiculous!! Wondered if anyone had a way around it, or any ideas how i could get around it?! cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Its insurance, and although it's a diesel it's still turbo'd so that'll add to it. - Add family members, higher excess etc.If it makes you feel better i paid £4000 last year on a 1.4 75bhp petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiaagracee Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 yea exactly, i think thats the only way to go! we've tried adding lots of family members etc and it has worked, but because i want to lower it etc its going to look a bit dodgy aha! omg! thats a bit steep aha! but i suppose its a loop its worth it!

lupoluke Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Try admiral they are fairly mod friendly, also try brentachre (sp) there ment to be one of the best out there, not much good to me tho as my postcodes one of the worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Its already been said but admiral are good price wise. Only thing is they dont replace mods if the car's written off. Cheeky as **** seeings how they've been declared and paid extra for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Pick up the phone and ring every company in the yellow pages, there is no cheats, short cuts or magic tricks.The only thing you can do is limit the miles, get an alarm/immobiliser and add parents as named drivers and do pass plus etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinsatu Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Can't believe the quotes on here. My 1.4 TDI is £380 a year with Autotrader. That's with a Jabbasport re-map to 109 BHP and lowered slightly. Admiral wouldn't touch me when I got it 5 years ago but Autotrader accepted it for £295. It's gone up by about £20 a year but still a bargain compared to most by the looks of it.Mind you, being 58 helps!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I would try HIC they always beat every quote for me. Edited May 18, 2012 by steve200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulley Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Can't believe the quotes on here. My 1.4 TDI is £380 a year with Autotrader.

It's gone up by about £20 a year but still a bargain compared to most by the looks of it.Mind you, being 58 helps!!!i was just about to have a moan about mine but feel quite happy reading these, im 28, 6 years ncb on the lupo 1.4s £399, 7 years ncb on 300zxtt loads of mods, £550.Cant afford to insure both this year, so its just the lupo.Im with admiral multicar, the best by far , altho i cant afford to crash as like Pete91 said they dont pay out for mods even tho you declare them which is daft.I think your a bit stupid paying £4k for insurance , why dont you go on your mum or dads insurance for a couple of years, When i was 17 (in the good old days ) i had a punto 1.2, cost 4k for the car, £1200 to insure on my mums policy.You just have to keep looking and try every place in the country, and it doesnt change when you hit 25, i must have spent about 10k on insurance for the 300zxtt in 6 years.Put parents on your policy as other drivers, if your parents are divorced, say you live at the address with the cheapest quote, (if it gets nicked at the other, ur just visiting) you keep your car in a LOCKED GARAGE or ON A PUBLIC ROAD - these are cheaper then a driveway, you only do 3000miles a year. best thing for me, one more year and the 300zxtt will be a classic car!!!! YAY. then i'll be paying less for a 3litre twin turbo then a 1.4 lupo, anyway, im rambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBehr Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi,Have a vw lupo 1.4tdi and im eighteen years old, the way I was insured for starters was to go on my Dads insurance for £680 but I think the co-op car insurance do it for about £1500 or around there. Heard that Elephant insurance is cheap too, good luck and have fun, I love my tractor and its pretty quick too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
