I Almost Thought It Was April Fools Day When I Read This,

Ben Kinsey, 18 bought a ten-year-old Fiat Punto, after passing his driving test last December, the car cost him £350, OK I know he should of done his homework to see how much it would cost to insure, but before I tell have a think about how much you think the premium would be,

would you have thought Aviva's Insurance quote of £83,600 up front - or £91,625 if he paid in instalments was fair? Ben used a price comparison website to look for fully comprehensive quotes, he also received quotes from other companies, the cheapest quote fell - to £10,598, Ben said: 'the figures are almost laughable, my car will just have to collect dust,' I guess younger drivers do have more accidents then experienced ones, but at those prices is it any wonder that some drivers desperate to be mobile take to the roads with no insurance?

Aviva said: "there is clearly a glitch on the system and this quote is incorrect, a senior underwriter will contact Ben to see how we can help," the cheapest quote at £10,000+ a lot of companies must have glitches in their systems too! males aged 17 to 22 can expect to pay £2,750 on average for insurance, says the AA.
