Where should a young woman go to insure a Golf GT?
I'm looking to insure a 2008 Volkswagen Golf GT 140hp, but all I have is a learner permit for three years and one ear no claims as a named driver. Cheapest quote yet was €3,500. Any good cheap insurers you can recommend? I am 22 and female.

Hi Nicola,
The best we can suggest is to have a good long ring around and a trawl through t'internet I'm afraid. Clearly, a car with GT in the title and 140 horses under the hood is going to flash alarm bells with any insurer when you give them your age. Quote Devil seem to be a good starting point for young driver insurance these days, but with a car that grunty you're going to be getting big quotes wherever you go, especially as you're still on a learner licence.
So, shopping around, lots, is really your only option. Either that or trade in the Golf GT and get a 1.0 Micra...
