then get a quote online - much easier and usually cheaper, also you can usually make changes to the cover, such as excess etc which can change the premium.

 

Also you can see what extras they are stiffing you with!!

I'd been half expecting this topic since you passed your test Shaun (well done BTW), my son had a similar problem when he passed about 18 months back, the cheapest quote he got was from Liverpool Victoria, it cost about £1000 for the first year but that included a 50% reduction as an introductory offer, car was a Pug 405 1.9 diesel.

i'm dreading mine its £124 last year and may shoot up a couple of quid.

it helps to drive a boring car (mines a 1.6 D reg golf) and ofcourse that 50 barrier helps ( one reason to not regret getting older).

i'v posted this before and as its relevant will do again.

in my renewal the year before last (same insurer) the renewal quote was £189 from £127 from the year before!!

i went online to the firms website but the quote only dropped to £179 !!

i tried again but WITHOUT putting in the renewal number and it dropped to £124 !!!

i lapsed the insurance 1 day used my quote to reinsure and got it for the far lower sum!!! when the lady phoned up to enquire where my proof of no claims was i told her to look on her computer (tee hee) this years actually dropped no doupt they found out i played their own game ,its cheap for new customers! bleed the old ones.

the biggest rip off is the honda 90 insurance £51 :o with a mandatory £250 dooda on it .mind you with it gets lower each year

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Life insurance? you wont enjoy a penny!

Good move Chesters. I'm beginning to think what others have told me about you may not be completely true! :P:P
