i have just moved from lincolnshire back to Runcorn in cheshire and have found out that due to me moving, my insurance company (tescos) have decided to pump my premium up by ?190 for the remaining 8 months of my cover period, does anyone know of any firms that could be of interest to me so i can save some pennies (i have tried direct line, churchill and the co-operative who have quoted me from ?700 to ?1200)

I am 26 with full no claims and no convistion so did not expect to be hit so hard just cos i have moved!!!!!

Thanks

if you try and cancel your existing insurance they'll probably charge you a hefty wedge also, so it might be an idea to accept the ?190 then look for another company after the 8mths is up

i'm paying around 700 quid (fully comp, parked off road.. not in the best area of town..) at the moment.. but thats only because I upgraded from my last car part way through the policy, so didnt get much choice.

i'm 28 and am in pretty much same circumstances...  i'm with privilege (tescos/privilege + direct line have the same unwriters but differ slightly in their target markets)

from what i've been hearing try tesco's.

if you have a wife/kids/own home then someone like AA or norwich union may give you a better quote as they cater for that kind of market (apparently)
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

my insurance when i moved from skegness (PE peterborough postal area) to where i am now (LN lincolnshire postal area) my insurance dropped by ?100, so the moral of the story is when you want cheaper insurance move to a cheaper area!!! lol ;D ;D ;D and i only moved 18miles!! not a bad saving that!!! ; :P

Because I my house is actually in Scotland (even though I rarely ever get there) my insurance comes in at ?250 FC Protected NC, even with 6 speeding points.
Cant get much cheaper than that ;D ;D
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture
