for cheap insurance, there's really only one around, NTUC. but you probably heard of all the stories with ntuc what with own limited workshops, hard claims etc. but tat said, i believe most of the ppl here are with ntuc.

hi

if you are 23 yrs old and first time driver with 0 NCD, i seriously think that your insurance will be low for any car

check with NTUC, i think they will give you a quote within a minute. just call in. i will not be surprised it is more than 2.5k at least. one way is to use your parent's name with older age and higher NCD.

good luck

and drive safe

yo bro,

u still can sqeeze some more juice out of NTUC.

call them n tell them u want to go direct wif them n not thru a broker +5%

and if u 2 years plus wif them , can haggle for loyalty discount another 5%.
by rite is 3 years but by left if u manja wif them, 2 yr plus oso can get

I'm paying $824 for my 2nd yr insr. 50% NCD + 10%.
Excess $1500

I even asked wat if i have good driver record from TP, still got disc?
I got a feeling they wanted to slam down on me liao but politely told
me that's the max liao.

I think you meant the insurance will be high for any car. Like you said, alternatively can register the car under parents name. Don't think can transfer NCD, right? So eventually still need to build up NCD for oneself, but should do it with a vehicle that is cheaper to insure so don't lose as much to insurance co.

this is true ...the main issue here is his age...once he reaches 30 (or 31), the premium will be slightly lower. However the NCD still plays a major part.
Anyway, if rich enough to buy 8 at 23, then should not have problem paying the insurance lah ..hehe

me still struggling with studies when i was at 23 ...damn the FYP

Haizz...

Just as what i'm afraid of. This is my 4th year driving actually and the 8 is intended to be a 2nd car. The first car is already under my parent's name. I'm actually planning to get the 8 without their knowledge. Erm...Kind of like a surprise?? Hehe...

Anyway, thanks for the help!!

jav3n: you might want to try Royal & Sun Alliance or AXA. Coz your age is considered young driver (until you reach 26), so confirm will be higher than normal. And if you have a short driving experience of less than 3 years, it will not work well for you.

if your car insurance is $3.2k per month or even $750 per month... then i strongly suggest that you change it. Unless of course you are driving a ferrari or mesarti. Even then, I also don't know how much it will be. But for RX-EGG's insurance premium, good siah!
