Car insurance

Anyone got any top tips, I have looked at Martins Tips but got totally confused by all the various cashback, clubcard, etc etc recommendations.

The only think I did actually manage to work out is that the 150 quid I am paying each year to Tescos for a breakdown cover is a total rip off. For the same price I could go with the AA and get breakdown cover and car maintenance insurance, where they pay up to 500 pounds for the cost of repairs.

I would welcome any recommendations before I get fleeced by the insurance industry :D

    adding someone older than you as a named driver normally knocks 10-20% of the premium, depends on your age of course but I always put my mother on my policy, she never got hold of the keys of course :p

    LOL, would love to find someone older to put as the named policy, but as I am 49 most of them are required to pass their test again every year :D
