This 38 yr old with full NCB in Birmingham is being charged £650 for a TJ fully comp. I don't know what is up with insurance and 4x4s - I did a quote for my girlfriend aged 25, just past test, no NCB, on a 97 1.6 Peugeot 306 TPFT in Edinburgh and it was only £530 ! Tell me who has got more chance of making a claim !!

just "passed" test.
I've just been told that my previous insurance (AXA) is moving out of car insurance. I've been online and had quotes for between £350 (Halifax) - £450 (RAC), with some between (£420 - Directline)(£353 - First Alernative). Lots more than my old Landrover 110...
Do these seem about right for a 45yr old with full NCB and no convictions etc, in a "normal city" (Portsmouth)?
My Landrover 110v8 used to be £180 fully comp...similar value etc...
Dave I want you to know that I passed on adding anything to 38,25,just passed test... ;-)
When my son was in Germany he told me what auto insurance costs and I just about had a hemorrhage. I have 4 vehicles and one bike and your insurance is more for one vehicle that all mine put together $1150.00 full coverage. You guys across the big pond need a serious pay raise.
That's why Jeeps aren't so popular here - a Wrangler Sahara costs $33,000, and the dealer charges $135 per hour. I once got quoted >$500 bucks on a steering wheel..

I bought my 04 Sahara with the duel top tax title and tags for $22,500 and sold the hard top for $1500. I guess it is no difference in buying a BMW or Mercedes or Jag in the states they are pricy but in their native land they are reasonable.
Hey Bill, that's cheap! I was curious about insurance in Kalifornia since everything is else is so ungodly expensive. I see you still have your 'bird which reminds me of a question I had for you... would a 9" from a '56 bird be a good jeep swap (XJ,TJ,YJ). One available here for $300, not sure of the gears though.

Dave Milne did pass the time by typing:
You could get one of these. They probably insure for a lot less than a jeep. And maneuver better too. ;)
used to have one of these which was cheap cheap for insurance !
damn, broken link. Try again.
