WTF???

I'll avoid moving there at those premiums....................

29, driving a 1.6 poverty spec bora.... with an added alarm!
last year was at this address too, and i have a private driveway, which is hidden, and is out of the way where people have no reason to walk past it!!
-
Bloody scandalous......gone to "compare the market" or "go Compare" for quotes yet?
I saved £120 on my renewal by doing that.
(mind you, I'm 50, been driving since 18, no convictions and live in the Forest of Dean where the majority of "bad boys" are sheep or boar..................... ;D ;D)
-
I pay less than that to insure the 3 cars and the bike, all Fully Comp :o
-
thats was my own insurer's renewal quote i got when i rang them today, i've been trawling hundreds of insurers over the last 2 weeks and the cheapest i got is swiftcover at £538, and i can claim £25 back after 60 days
thats involved alot of tweeking with fully comp/tpft, adding swmbo, removing swmbo, declaring less miles, adding more excess, changing the value of my car
in the end i gave up and filled in completely correctly, so swiftcover it is!!
-
I use swiftcover and pay somewhere in the region of 650 declaring business use and fairly high miles. 29 with 2yrs ncd, although i do have my dad on as a named driver which helped worth a try :y
-
Try quoteline direct they're the best for mine by a long way.
-
My brother added his girlfriend to his insurance and she added him to hers, and both policies went down regards premiums. Different insurance companies.
-
Anyone tried LV insurance. (liverpool Victoria I think it is - seen it on tv)
-
i hate myself for saying this but were with kwik fit ins and were both 23 and live in a v.dodgy area of b'ham on a 1.4 corsa.......£473! :y
I paid :o£1634 :o on a 1.4 metro gsi!!first car!!beat that! ;D

Definately worth adding an older relative as the insurance company looks at it from the point of view that x amount of time the car is being driven by a lower risk driver so will calculate the premium accordingly.
This is perfectly legit unlike when parents put themselves as main driver and 17 year old on as a named driver when in reality the youngster is the main driver, this is known as fronting and blatantly illegal.
My old man has driven my car once in two years but hes on there for that reason alone. SWMBO too young and to bad a claims record ;)

My insurance renewal quote with Admiral has gone down from £376 to £366 :y
So I decided to enter my details on moneysupermarket.com. Swift cover could do my insurance for £290, so I rang Admiral back and they dropped to £313. I have always been happy with Admiral so I have decide to insure through them for another year. 8-)
