car & cheap insurance?
Comments

Pretty sure my quotes were fairly different, enough to contemplate whether it was worth fully comp anyway.Why? The reason insurance is high is because of you hitting others car, not damage to your own. When quoting I have found very little difference between thirds party and fully comp.
Mine has gone from:
£1500
£1200 (I had an accident in first year)
£670
Mine was around £1k first time though I wasn't the main driver however it seems it would have been that anyway given the online quotes I had afterwards and the cost of my friends insurance.
£700 with an additional driver (bought a 1yr old car with bigger engine capacity halfway through previous insurance)
£500 again with an additional driver (one accident in previous year)
Shopping around for new insurance again soon. I doubt the 1yr no claims will make much difference.0 -

It didn't make any difference and I am still with DirectLine. However next year I will be 21 so I suspect everything will change then.
Also my younger brother went with DirectLine and said I am also (same household) and they gave him extra discount.....0 -
I tried Direct Line the year I went with Endsleigh (£700) but they were quoting far too much. Moved from Endsleigh to Elephant the next year.It didn't make any difference and I am still with DirectLine. However next year I will be 21 so I suspect everything will change then.
