I do not own a car and have not done so for a number of years. I have been thinking about buying one recently and have been looking but I need to find out how much insurance is nowadays. I have looked on one or two sites but everytime I reach the question - Total number of cars in your household (including this one) - the answer is 0! So it doesn't let me proceed any further in my quest for insurance! Anyone any ideas please, thanks :mad:

    Er .. it's presuming that you want a quote for a car, so the answer would be ONE (ie the car you want a quote for) :D

    It means at the time your insurance starts. So answer the questions as if it's the first day of the insurance being active on a car. :)

    So just answer '1' :)

    (*Unless it's Santander. The branch says they sent you an umbrella 3 times already and don't understand why you don't have it yet and want it back right now!!!)

    Make up a name, close address, and make up an email as well.
    (or use the customer services of the website you're on)
