Could be a number of things, postcode, car, modifications, mileage, career, ncd

For me, being a "network consultant" sheds £100 a year off from being a "web designer" - its stupid.

I know what ill be doing for my my renewal :)

I'd ring the companies up rather than doing a lot of it online.
Although it takes double the time you can sometimes knock quite a bit of money off. I got £200 off this years insurance by ringing Elephant up and talking to someone.

Good Luck with it all though. Insurance is such a b!tch to do.

Problem with ringing is that you can't tweak the policy (add/remove drivers etc.) and keep repeating until you get a normal price - without the phone operator hanging up on you!

less than 500 is good, considering insurance is going up every yr
If It Comes Off, Modify It!
