Hello all,
Apologies if this has already been covered, tried searching and cant come up with a concise answer.

Can anyone recommend an insurer for a 16 yr old on a 50cc scooter ? Tried Confused.com and they are talking about the £300 region which feels high.

Thanks
Stu Very Happy

300 quid is fairly cheap.

16 year olds like crashing; they will crash into cars, bushes, pedestrians, following police cars, hamsters, walls, females, fast food restaurants and the floor. They are also not that great at keeping their posessions in their posession.

This is reflected in the insurance quotes Mr. Green .

Donny, I crashed into a Toby Carvery and my own cousin, resulting in a broken arm which needed to be pinned Laughing

Didn't claim though.

£300 feels like a good price.
Missus has a 50cc scooter for shopping (easier than the car for odds and sods).
Cost just under £90 for her. To add 16yr going on 17yr daughter as named rider in case she missed the bus for college went up to just over £400.

Companies she has got quotes from were Swinton (because it has high st. branches), CIA, MCE, Bennetts and Footman James. All have online stuff but I think she just 'phoned.

There's a few others like Falcon and insurance express from this thread when I asked a similar question.

In 2006 I paid £170tpft for a 1998 Speedfight, I was 16. That was with Lexham, a year later I paid £160 for tpft insurance on my XR125.
