just a bit of a rant really about insurance companies and how they change there prices like the weather, im 19 driving an old slow 1.8 golf driver pay 2 grand a yr to insure it which is crap enough as it is, i wanted another car for my 20th, and was for example looking at a mk4 20vt or an e46 318, with one yrs no claims everything all declared properly insurance due to start on my bday on a well known comparison site, 1200 quid, not a bad price considering, 2 weeks later re checked the price all the same details and it came up 6 GRAND! so checked it a week after that, was 4 grand check it today and its seven!!? one week it was 2 grand etc dont see how insurance companies can justify these massive price changes? was interested to know what people my age were paying for there cars and if anyones been getting weird quotes recently?

I am 49, but have noticed that the Price comparison sites will raise and lower their quotes depending on how busy they are. It seems that if insurance isn't selling to well , the price drops just so that days quota can be met. All you can do is keep trying and hope that you catch them on a day when insurance isn't selling well and they have a quota to meet.
