Car Insurance Premium...too high?

Hi guys & gals,

I've recently renewed my car insurance, and was wondering why my premiums are as high as they are. I did searches with comparison websites and yet still my current provider (Directline) is the cheapest.

In short:

I am 27,
in my 3rd year driving
no claims
my car is only a peugeot 1.1

my current premium is just short of £500

Is this about normal, cos it seems a bit high to me? Perhaps its cos i've only been driving for such a short amount of time?

    Looks about right, it should reduce next year if you don't have any claims.

    Adding your partner as a driver can sometimes reduce the premium
