I'm with MoreThan. After haggling, best quote was £296, £400 excess, Bus1 insure, I've had 2 windsceeen claims, FNCB, legal Cover.

Online, their quote with same claims/cover was £283 and £350 excess.
So I let my old policy expire and took out this new one. Plus if no claims for year on year they give 20% discount at every renewal.    :smiley:

I think I'm going to switch to Greenlight, anyone had any experience with them, says my policy would be underwritten by Highway.

I got a quote from the yesterday as mine is due up in March. My god, they where very cheap.

21 - 1NCB - London address £950 :shocked:

Bare in mind that this was just an online quote and id expect it to go up once we get the finer details but that is much much much cheaper than I expected.

Iam insured with direct line and i got my renewel through this morning. It was a nice surprise for a change, £290 less than last year. I now pay £605 both me and my wife are 25 with 5years ncb for an 08 Edition 30. I think they have put my excess up by £100, but apart from that iam quite chuffed with that.  :laugh:
