Trying to find out how much insurance will be

I'm looking to see if anyone can give me an idea of how much insurance will cost me. I've gotten a new job as a rep and need to provide my own car. I've been driving company cars for 15 years so always on a company policy. I tried phoning a few insurance companies this week to get a rough idea of how much insurance will…

I'm looking to see if anyone can give me an idea of how much insurance will cost me. I've gotten a new job as a rep and need to provide my own car. I've been driving company cars for 15 years so always on a company policy. I tried phoning a few insurance companies this week to get a rough idea of how much insurance will cost me but no one would tell me until I buy the car and get letters from past companies stating I had a company car and no one claimed against me on the insurance.

The car I'm going to buy is a 141 Passat, automatic, diesel. Rough cost 25k. I'm a female, late 30's. Will need a work insurance as the car will be for work mainly. Mileage will be above 40k.

Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much insurance will cost. I really have no idea

Nobody here can give you an idea of what you will be quoted.
What you will/must do is get a letter (or letters) from your previous company car Insurers stating that you did not make any claims while covered by them.
After getting this your best bet is to phone around a few Brokers and Insurance Companies rather than looking for online quotes.

No-one can tell you that. Even if you did the same quote with 48 hours in between it can change. There is no apparent reasoning behind quotes and two companies can quote you 1500 or 400 euro.

You can try doing online quotes with a reg number of a car similar to what you will later insure.

You can read this thread and look for similar cases as your but tbh there is only one thing you can do - go online and check every single company you know, and get a quote.
Start with the companies mention in the first post here and then read the thread for more companies.

I am closing this so we can restrict the number of insurance threads in the forum. If you have more questions use the latter thread.
