    The only company that will touch you is JustCar and prepare for a raping.

    The only way you are getting in with AAMI or RAC is if you have a family member with them and you can get in that way.

    I was 21 when I got my SS, JustCar was the only mob who even looked at me. Pretty much everyone else had a good chuckle and said no.

    90% sure RAC were cool with it they just wanted some unfeasable amount. I know i went to several other places and they literally told me to stop wasting their time.

    how isnt that useful, if you want to get insurance by yourself most companies will tell you to f*ck off or will absolutely rape you.

    insure it in your parents name with you as the primary driver and it will still hurt.

    Well when I first signed up to JustCar it was something like 1600 a year premium (all mods covered) with a 1500 exess or something. You could lower the premium by putting up the excess and I could get it to 1000 a year with a 3 grand excess.

    Im currently on about 800 a year with a 2 grand excess at 23.

    When I was 19, I used the RAC it insure my first V8. Although already had a couple of cars insured with them. Never had any issues with modifications with the RAC either. The more extensive ones have required an engineers report and them inspect the car, but everything is listed on my policy (stroker engine, dog box, brakes, suspension etc). I have had to make a couple of claims through the RAC over the years, but never had issues there, always sorted quickly.

    HBF wouldn't insure me until I was 21 and I think it was AAMI said I had to be 25.
