[Mr Skrunts]

To be fair, Tesco's have remained consistently cheaper for me over the years than most others that's why I haven't changed for years.

I'm seriously thinking about becoming a teacher

Get a couple of quotes else where and then challemge tesco's price, just dont tell what you were quoted, coz if you were offered it £30 cheaper else where then tesco's only need knock off another £5 to beat them, where as not knowing the quote they may knock £50/75 or even more off.

Adrian Flux are dodgy - you have to watch their paperwork - they had to refund me when I challenged why the Norwich Union certificate did not match the cover they had sold me. Kept spinning tales until I threatened ombudsman action. Admiral is pretty good - £180 for Omega but a lot depends on mileage you do - just have 3000 miles pa for Omega these days. Signum is £350 with 15000 miles per annum.

I'm going to call Tesco's tomorrow and see what they say, as obviously it's just a system generated quote.

Tried Esure, they were over £600 but by no means the most expensive. The highest so far is £9,519.81 from Auto Direct That's a deposit of £1907.86 followed by ten resonable £873.80 monthly installments. They only want an extra £33 for leagal protection, bagain.

I think that alone goes to prove that the whole insurance thing is a complete lottery....

Gonna keep plugging on, got a few more that the comparison sites don't throw up.

Try poping into a local insurance shop where you live and see what they can offer.

£430 fully comp with windscreen cover through the AA

 That much?......and at your age ....Lizzie..

Yes, because I have always opted for quality insurance so if anything goes wrong, as it did last year when that idiot ran into me, I get full cover and assistance, with AA legal backup and no hassle.  In all Optimist that gave me and my passengers effectively £4,200 + a quality loan car for 7 weeks, when all was taken into account 8-) 8-) 8-)

It's funny but considering it's just for social use and not buisiness/commuting or anything you would think that my 'employment details' wouldn't make a difference but they do.

If I tell them I'm a teacher it brings the cheapest quote down to £332.71

It's such a rip off

Sadly My job put the price up quite a bit.....

Axa fully comp with named driver £300:00. £150:00 on my 3.0 elite ex plod on a 96 plate. Price comparison sites are the way to go.

Try finding an old fashioned broker with an office, i've known my guy for years and he knows exactly how to work the system. Last year I paid about 400 for bells and whistles cover, protected + full breakdown recovery etc etc.

This year it went to 450, tried a number of direct sites plus comparison and came up about 10 quid cheaper so just phoned my guy and said do it. 2 weeks later I get a modification note on my policy, it had dropped back to a tad over 400 again, he had found and applied a new discount they had running. Proof that experience pays.

[Jimbob]

quote for my new one was £386 after some playing 

[razzo]

just tried one of them comparison websites & Cornhill direct wanted £4008  Admiral multi car with 2 Omegas £1450 (must be paying for their Xmas party)

I have found them ridiculously overpriced every time I have checked! Cheaper to insure the cars separately and "Mirror" the no claims onto the mini when it goes on the road (eventually )
