Anyone got any recommendations for an insurance company for someone with zero no-claims (due to 8 years of company cars, not an accident) and/or limited mileage policies??

Some companies out there, now take into account your history as an insured company car driver. Not sure who they are, but ask a few brokers.

I have NCB but www.elephant.co.uk were so much cheaper than everywhere else for me, my bloke and my bro, although having a woman on the policy helps lots.

Elephant were good for me.
2 years NCB and ?280 fully comp with a few improvements in my cover.
It was good enough for me to cancel my current cover ;D

I used Elelphant they were loads cheaper when we had the cupra R but when it came to changing over to a different car they want to add loads on top! So I worked out cheaper to cancel and re start the policy

Cos GTi cab is a second car, by cancelling my other insurance with another company they split my NCB. ?280 fully comp + protected no claims. My worst quote was ?1400. Definately worth a good search around. Good luck.

Its only going to be a fair weather/weekend car, but its a bit of an exotic, so is gonna be mucho dollars.

Best quote I've had so far is ?1300 from Norwich Union, that was with a ?1000 excess.

Doesn't sound too bad, til you factor in I'm days away from 29th birthday, have had my licence for over 11 years and no accidents.
