i want to take out insurance

ive driven since 2000 but only drove my parents car sometimes. was covered as a third person on their insurance

i had my first car in 2006 and was insured for a year before it broke down since then havent had a car, just got new one, and want insurance.

would i have only 1 yrs no claims? i cant remember the name of company as my dad arranged it and he cant remember either, will the new insurer be able to find a record of it?

i dont have any paperwork as ive moved about alot. should i just say i have 1 years no claims? obviously i wont have any paperwork to show to new insurer.

please help?

Have been on my parents policy for 5years with my mini as it was cheaper for them but as Im moving out soon thought I should get my own policy. My mini is 1979 but really reliable and just been restored so more like a newer car than a classic.
Was just wondering which is the best breakdown cover to go with, just in case. My dad knows quite a bit about cars so in the past have just rung him so wouldn’t need a mega covered one, just basics incase Im out somewhere.
Also I’m not sure what sort of cover to go for, the bacis ones or the added extra ones?

Are you with Quinn Direct? Need help!?

I’m 20 years old + bought my first car today. It’s a little 1.4 Rover Metro.. I’m on Confused.com + Moneysupermarket.com trying to get the best insurance quote.. Both come up with Quinn Direct as the cheapest by over £100. However it doesn’t give you details as to what the breakdown cover entails! There phone lines closed an hour ago + I’m eager to know.

For anyone who’s with Quinn, what does the breakdown cover actually offer? If it’s not great, I have no problem getting seperate cover with the AA as it’s only £12 a month.. But I don’t want to pay out with them, if Quinn offer a good enough breakdown package.

Basically my Dad said some companies he’s seen, have such crap cover, they’ll liturally come out, stay for 30 mins, if they can’t fix it, they’ll leave you. I don’t want anything snazzy, but need to know I’ll be towed to a garage if it’s not fixable, or home.

I’ve also opted in for windscreen cover.. The website isn’t very informative!!

Someone please help :o )
I just had a look at what other people asked about Quinn + someone who claims to work for them, said that they’ll only give you break down cover if the car is 15 years old or younger.. Mine is 14 years old.. Does this mean next year I wont be able to go with them?? Is this even true?
Thanks guys.. Going to go with Quinn for 1 year (as next year my car will be 15 years old) + get AA cover as well :o )
