Mine is up this month also.

Slightly older  :cry: at 34 but I need business use and the wife added who is 29.
I have a TS10, she has an SP30.

I have 9+ NCD, she has 5.

Cheapest so far is Privilege, Adrian Flux and e-sure (via confused.com) all about £ 510-£530.
Included protected NCD and legal protection.

Which i think is steep.

Would have been about £ 430 without the TS10.

I'm waiting for a reply from Greenlight Insurance.  Incidentally HIC quoted £ 1200  :sick:

Damn, I don't get insurance companies tbh. Have you added on your parents too? As that's what I've done. You're allowed to add them even if you don't live in the same place.

Why not try some of the specialist brokers they should be cheaper.

Greenlight came out very good for me. But they worked out a little more expensive when adding business use.
Also, just paid the wife's insurance in 1 payment, so I need to pay this monthly.  When I added up the deposit and monthly payments the interest pushed it over the other quotes.

good luck
