Im having major trouble with my car insurance!
im 19 and have just over 2 years driving experince, im currently insured with Direct Line on a Peugoet 206 1.1 T Reg.
my Insurance (i pay monthly) was £1600 last year but iv lost my no claims as earlier in the year i hit a car in the work car park.
iv just had my renewal quote in and it £2100, no way i can afford as im only an apprentice and rent a flat by myself.
Im having a real problem finding decent price any tips, advice or help would be much appricated

As a young male who's had an accident, your insurance is going to be expensive.
You can shop around and try all the usual tips
e.g. add a named driver whose older and with a good driving record, prefereably female.
Have you considered doing pass plus? You may get a discount (personally I'd check out the discount first before comimtting).

Other than that (and you probably won't like it) then your best bet is to sell the car and look for other forms of transport.
If you are a young fit able bodied male you shouldn't have a problem walking a few miles to a bus or train station and could also consider cycling.
I'm an overweight 42 year old and I can cycle 15 miles if I try.
You'd be surpised what you can do if you put your mind to it.
