    Hi folks



    So now I am really wound up about it. I am now over 25 and have 1 years no claims but its only gone down by about £100!

    I wish my insurance went down by £100 when I renewed! try https://www.confused.com, it will do the work for you, just like the advert says!

    It will do the work for you in that it checks a small percentage of the insurers available... and lulls you into thinking they check almost all of them so that they get their £50 for refering you to the insurers :)

    Good idea, try clicking though the Quidco site to see if your cheapest quote will also give you cashback (eg. Direct Line are offering £40 cash back....it all helps!)

    still better than nothing, and quicker than going to each site individually

    another thing to beware of with confused.com is that the price they quote is usually without any extra's such as courtesy car, legal etc and often with a high excess.
    make sure you are comparing like for like.

    hi this is my first post
    the thing with the online prices are that they attract you with a good price and rely on you being lazy when your on the phone so just take it, plus dont include legal cover or courtesy car etc
    i work for an insurance company but i guess cant recomend my own one, there must be a rule??
    anyway good luck

    I just used quidco to insure through MoreThan, the quote was over £120 cheaper than DL (my current insurer) and I'll get £29 cashback - not bad all in all! :j
