Hate car insurance, I pay £645 fully comp with all the kit and mods insured, plus another 250 for business use, the latter being a complete waste, as the taxman cut my tax code due to the amount I claimed last year, need to wait and see what they do next year, as business use might just go out the window, as I get nowehere near the money it costs me, and to be hit on tax aswell just sucks :( 
Ouch!

I'm with Direct Line. About 6 months ago I asked them how much it extra it would cost to add bussiness use onto my policy... Their answer... £0.00 (free)!  :o

Bloke said that they dont offer it unless you ask for it though!

Mine went up to nearly 600 with the AA this year, did some net work, & as much as I said I'd never use them because of the bloody annoying adverts, GoCompare got me down to just under £450, can't remember who it's actually with.
Reasonable postcode, driveway kept, 20 yrs driving, 1 Sp30 (now ;)) and no incidents in last 5 years. Class 1 business use £11, bout the same as I've always paid, listed as electronic engineer for a job.

Interested why the MV6 seems to be cheaper than the Elite- surely the .2L & extra 10BHP would put it up?

I pay around £250 for my 3.2 Elite 03 plate, with declared mods.  But then I'm old, and live in a small market town.

I know one insurance broker has told us before that they are uncompetitive in the Greater Manchester area...

That sounds pretty good. That's what I used to pay before Esure shoved their prices through the roof. Someone told me they'd lost a lot of money to the Icelandic banks and were trying to get it back from their customers.

When I moved from car crime ridden inner city Sheffield (car broken into or stolen 13 times in 5 years) to Buckinghamshire (no known car crime) my insurance went UP! Reason given: "rich area, innit." Not when you're skint and move back in with your mother it isn't!
