Well, another car, another bunch of quotes on car insurance.
I would imagine that it's similar in other countries; in Australia, car insurance is most costly when the driver of the car is under 25 and male. As younger ds is in both those categories, I decided to get a number of quotes for the insurance on his new-to-him car, which he is collecting tomorrow.
Prices varied enormously, with the highest cost up into the thousands (yes, plural!!) which was staggering. All insurance quotes were for comprehensive insurance, and I do realise that there are differences between the policies, however I'm not prepared to pay for some of the services they offer as I believe they're unnecessary in ds's situation.
Interestingly, the highest quote came from an insurance company that was recommended to me as being inexpensive - you really have to do the groundwork with insurance.
