For myself, quite a young driver i have found Admiral (also elephant and bell) very good all with differing prices which is weird :huh: But as martinb said agreed value is important as i remeber my first car the fiesta i bought for £700 was only worth £300 when it got written off. Even though i did buy it back for £50 fixed it for another £50 and sold it for £600 :grin:

I've just had my renewal come through from Elephant, they quoted me £516 TPFT for me (8yrs driving, 3yrs no claims, clean license) and my wife (provisional license) on my 1.4 N reg Polo. But Admiral quoted me £430 and best still AA quoted me £331.
Interestingly all the quotes I got off Confused.com came out as about £10 higher than the quotes I did myself.
Gonna look into some more tomorrow.

Try Sharp Insurance at www.sharpinsurance.co.uk they are a broker, but I have insured my 16v through them and they are really good. Wife insured her 1.8 16v Corrado through them also, 34, 7yrs NCB Fully comp, £262, includes windscreen, uninsured loss recovery, and key insurance, covers ALL of your keys, if they get stolen or lost, and are unrecovered, they will pay for a locksmith to come out and change all of your locks, to a value of £1500. :smiley: :smiley:

I did the MoneySupermarket thing today, mine runs out 28th March.

I have been with Tescos for the last 3 years and their quote came in at £285

Post Office  =  £252

Swift Cover £275

All with Protected no claims - I have 8 years, legal cover and an average replacement car. The Post Office one also guarantees repairs for 3 years.

So looks like i'll be switching!

Oh yea the PO one is actually with Norwich Union, so why cant I get a cheaper quote direct from them? Crazy!

Elephant gave me the best quote so far for my scirocco scala - £212 TPFT with 5 yrs no claims and 3 points. I get loads of money off if you stick the mrs on as a named driver - about £100! She probably isn't going to even drive it..  Admiral was next best - £225, but I think that was fully comp. If you get a quote from elephant, take your phone off the hook, cos they phone me almost daily. I keep telling them I'm repairing it before it goes back on the road! P'raps they're just being friendly.   :tongue:

Funny you should say that about sticking the Mrs on to get it cheaper. When El Presidente was looking for insurance for her 'Raddo, she got a quote from Diamond, you know, the ones that make out all blokes are kamikaze pilots in training, expecting it to be really cheap. Not only was it about £80 more expensive than the quote from Sharp, it was cheaper if she put me on the policy. They don't tell you that in the adverts :laugh: :laugh:
