Hi all, I appreciate this could well be a difficult question to answer but here goes.
Basically I've just come out of my time, and in my work (modular buildings) we do a lot of travelling around the country sighting the cabins etc. as a result our company has 2 vans, Renault Trafic and a Vauxhall Vivaro. We have seven other sparks on our firm all of who'm are insured to drive the van. the youngest been 27.
Now I'm 22 and I really enjoy site work, and have no ties (young family, partners etc) that would affect me being able to spend alot of time working away. But my boss says it's to expensive to put me on the insurance, and he says that his policy is for drivers over 25.
Has anyone got any rough idea of costs to add a 22 year old (with clean license) on a similar policy? One of the local sparks reckoned it would cost about £30k when he wanted to add his apprentice but that seems ridiculous.

Thanks in advance, and any help would be much appreciated.
 
Only you can convince your boss to look into having you added. One thing's for sure...he won't thank you for telling him that someone on a forum said it's what he should do. :)
 
Thanks for the responses guys. It certainly doesnt seem that the amounts are anything like what i've been told. And don't worry I'm not going to go steaming in and demand to be put on insurance because 'the lads' on the forum said so. haha
