Can someone tell me a decent insurance company

As above, I have had some really shocking quotes for some reason and I know that insurance won't be getting any cheaper but I was after a quote round about what I am paying now. Tried Elephant and Sky and their quotes were a massive joke and I laughed.

I am with Flux atm purely to cost, not a fan of the company I pay £750.

Elephant-£1995

sky wouldn't tell me theirs as he knew I would of laughed. Tried all the usuals and they all come out way above mine.

simple mods
live in Devon(hardly a big crime area)

many thanks

im on admiral and its costing £185 a month, got a quote from priviledge and 90 pound a month with 750 excess (bit of a joke), i rang up another company who claimed i could not get insured on a 182 at the age of 22 with 2 years no claims....then wanted to charge me 5000 a year......ive settled with admiral until i get my extra 1 year no claims, its all generally a bit joke!

Considering I'm with Sky at 24 with 4 YNC, modifications and 9 points I pay £1000~ so I can't see how yours is much more than that?

That's some quotes you are getting there!

Seem very high for your age / NCD.

Try the guys at Brentacre.

eurgh... I've got to ring around for a load of quotes this week. Not looking forward to it. My renewal from Flux was laughable, nearly £1900 22yo 3ncb. I get fisted because of my postcode. Nestled nicely between Liverpool and Manchester.

They are rediculous quotes. I sold the 197 over a year ago now but my last renewal on that was £750. Deatils were

25
7years NCB (reaches max at 5 though)
Breathing mods
C rated Postcode
additional driver 23, female, 2 years driving experience, and she put the premium up about £100-150.

I'm in the same boat as you pal, 22, 3 years NCB. Who are you going to ring if you don't mind me asking? I can't think of anyone worth trying!?

I thought that sounded like a bit of a funky name too...

I need to set aside an afternoon to ring around all the usual suspects: Brentacre, Sky, Bell, Elephant, Admiral...
I'm not holding out much hope though.

However, when I had my Zetec-S two years ago, I got a renewal from flux for ~£1800. I rang Brentacre, saying I got a renewal of £1300, which they promptly beat. Went back to Flux and they dropped to £1250. Just shows how much you can get knocked off, so I think I'll have to try the same tactics again. Such a ball ache.

LOL! Good tactic tbh!

EUI (Admiral, Elephant and Bell) are my best atm.

22 yr old.
3 years NCB.
Clean licence, with 3 years on it.
Postcode category E.

Next year is looking like £1270 exhaust declared with Admiral.

Can't find anywhere willing to beat it tbh! Although I'm still yet to ring round the usual suspects.

I hate them but they are the cheapest.

like I said sky wouldnt even tell me what the quote was.....

Why is this a nightmare. I am 28 FFS

they are the cheapest for a reason bud, you take out cover.

they rely on people changing their cars or selling up, if you change your car they'll hit you with a big price hike.

if you sell your car and want to cancel (like me) they want a massive payment usually 80% of the policy value.

read the horror stories....

this guy ended up paying £1300 for 1 months insurance on a Peugeot 206, and no lube was even used!!!!!!!!!!!

I took out a policy 5 months ago for a land rover discovery. £540.00, awesome! 2 months later i come to cancel.... you can cancel sir but we need an additional £310.00 to cover costs. so basically it was £510.00 for the year or £400.00 for 2 months.

I pay Direct Line £692 for the 172. Interest free monthly payments for the first 12 months so I pay £55 a month. Im 22 with 2yrs NCB. I was getting prices in the region of £850-£1000 using Confused.com so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Direct Line. Always have introductory offers aswell, 2 months free atm: http://tinyurl.com/3g89d8d

Like I said, your circumstances on paper are better than mine and mine is more than 50% cheaper than yours with the same company!

Did you give your forum name you get discount?

Or maybe they searched your user name.....

It wouldnt have made a difference he asked what I am paying with Flux atm and he said I am not even going to tell you what my price is or you will laugh. I cannot get anywhere near your quote.

@jonesyblue87- wish I could get insurance as cheap as you! :dapprove:

Problem is people don't even give me quotes, its only a 172 with an air filter, sportlines and aftermarket wheels......

I changed my car then Admiral said due to the info entered bla bla they cannot give me a quote..

Starting to wonder what little "detail" you haven't mentioned?

Catagory end-of-the-world postcode? Convictions? Points? Unemployed? History of being refused insurance? Demanding an excess of £0? Poor credit rating? Monumental mileage? Paying monthly?

Tried all the usual? Adding named drivers, trying a quote with no mods (for research not for insurance fraud), limited mileage, pay in full, higher excess, driveway parking (if you even own a drive - again not for fraud) etc
