My first car was an F reg 1.1 fiesta - Admiral wanted £110 per month, that was with a family discount because my sister worked there.  Two months later I bought an H reg 1.6 Golf Driver and Direct line wanted £110 per month....

Admiral seem to target the London audience, so their prices are a little extreme if you live in Wales!  We earn less over here!

I have a MK3 1.4 Ryder, been driving 3 years, first car in my name however, so therefore no NCD.

3rd party is £600 annually.

Steep me thinks but with 1 years NCD it will decrease alot.

realistically you should be able to get a cheaper quote of elephant than your admiral one.

Elephant are admirals sister company but have less overheads due to being a paperless web based outfit meaning they can quote cheaper.

well so they told me when i rang up & complained that Admiral beat their price. they then beat admirals price. strange but true!

I just went with Admiral for a GTI...exactly the same price as Elephant...surprised me how much cheaper it was than Privilege who I usually use...Admiral must favour mid-priced cars I think...they were more expensive than Privilege for a more expensive car

My insurance was cheaper with Admiral than with Elephant, by about 70 quid.

28, 1st car, no NCD, parked in the road, cheap postcode, no points or claims £406 for 10 months

I just had my renewal through from Admiral and it was still better than everyone else.  I phoned them to see if they could do any better and they gave me a discount of £48!!  So now they are about £200 less than anyone else i've tried (which is a lot of companies)

I am ringing round right now, heres the progress:
Age 30, 1990 8v gti 5dr, surrey, on private driveway, lowered suspension 40mm, partner as named driver, Fully comp.

Adrian Flux we're first to quote at £458 with a £200 excess

Then HIC (mentioning this  site) £500 with a £250 excess, NOW interestingly enough HIC are the sister company to Adrian Flux so they won'y make an effort to compete with Flux's quote, so bear that in mind.

Elephant £377.95 with a £225 excess. (online quote).

anyone got any places to improve on these???

Incidentally, if you are young, having access to another vehicle and limiting your mileage to around 5000 miles will make a big difference to your quote.

RSVP!

I was with Admiral, but then I did a quote with Bell insurance - which is a subsidary of Admiral, and it was £50 cheaper - so I'm with them now!

So if you are with Admiral, get an online quote from Bell!
