Struggling with car insurance....

Kilty_2

I can only find one sensible quote for car insurance (Admiral, £1020) - and I know they're not exactly the best.

I'm 20, have 1 fault claim and 1 unresolved claim, 0 NCB as a result of the open claim and drive a group 11 (on the 20 group system) car. I live in a low risk postcode area and drive less than 8k miles a year.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can turn to that will give me anything similar to Admiral's price with perhaps a little better cover? Any other quote I've had has started at £3200.

Tesco always ends up being the cheapest for me.................

Nothing wrong with insurance from Admiral. I have all 3 of my cars insured with Admiral companies and have done for years

Hi Kilty.

To be honest , seeing as you have zero ncb , 1 fault claim and 1 un-resolved claim and you are only 20 years old , the price you have been quoted by Admiral sounds like a bargain to me !

I have been doing some quotes for my eldest just to see how much car insurance would be for her if she had just passed her test and the prices i am getting are more than 3 times what you have been quoted by Admiral.

If i were you i would be accepting this quotation eagerly . As iamanalias says , Admiral are a very reputable Company.

That price is a bargain, my son's 28 and his insurance premium has doubled this year compared to last year and some quotes were nearly £5,000 Snap it up Kilty.

As said your quote is not so bad, other similar age 1st time driver in higher risk postcode areas ie manchester and london are getting quotes of £3-4k for a low insurance car group.

Ever claimed with them?

I know people who have and were less than impressed.

i have claimed with admiral and elephant both the same company and never had any problems with them. I am 26 and have been insured with an Admiral group company i.e admiral,elephant or bell for the past six years they have always come out cheapest and it looks like i will be going with them when i renew in feb. You could try a specialist insurance broker but i have found that none can even get close to admiral and they will tell you that before going through the quote process

At least they don't have the "non approved repairer" excess like my current insurer, Aviva, do. Their approved repairer did a fine job but that's not the point.

I'll keep searching, renewal isn't for 3 weeks yet.

Only thing is if you take it to a non approved repairer the will not cover the cost of any courtesy car
