Hi Paul,

Theres far to many personal things that alter the price of car insurance for someone to say I recommend so & so for the cheapest deal - e.g. your post code, driving history, mileage, age, etc etc.

The only way to find the best deal for you is to use a price comparison site like mentioned above.

And use a few comparison sites too - I often find a difference between one sites 'cheapest quote' to another sites 'cheapest quote'.

Try -

My renewal quote arrived a few weeks back and after using 3 different price comparison sites I managed to save £600! (Renewal quote was £1200).

Funny thing was was the £600 quote was with a sister company of my current insurer. So I rang mine up and they matched it.

So after 10 minutes online I basically rang my insurer and got 50% knocked off.

Price comparison sites are a must!

Regards.

Paul :)

Hi guys,

Did you manage to get it sorted out?

I'm looking for insurance for the same car as yours and I've been told to look into something called telematics? :S

No idea what that is but I did find this article on it http://www.mirror.co.uk/advice/money/personal_finance/2011/08/17/black-box-technology-saves-young-drivers-money-and-lives-115875-23349853/

Does anyone here use telematics?

Cheers :)

I eventually went with AXA, at £450 a year.

Hi Marley,

Thanks for the info!

That sounds like a good deal, I did read in the article about a company called Insurethebox, I might give them a ring...

I'm only using my car to get to and from work atm so I must do under 6k mileage a year... maybe that'll help me get a cheaper quote.
