Car insurance successes stories

What's this about?

The Cheap Car Insurance System is all about getting the best deal. But for fun, here's a contest to see who across the UK has the ultimate deal. As I write this, the cheapest is £48.

So I thought it'd be interesting to see who else sheared down their car insurance that way. Did you manage it for under £100?

Update 4 October 2009

After many incremental increases the current record is 96p for fully comp insurance.... as follows.

It's for Barbara Wakerell from Kent.

Policy Price: For Barbara the cheapest was £120.96 from Swinton Insurance for a fully comprenhensive policy, with protected no claims bonus, and including a courtesy car.

Insurer cashback: The company had its own £70 cashback promo on.

Cashback site: She then got a further £50 via using a cashback site.

Using confused.com.. I saved over £180 off my renewal premium. The AA wanted £670 to renew... I haggled and got them down to £612. I then used the tips and used confused.com and got my insurance for £454 from Budget!!
I went back to the AA and they didn't want to know. So good bye AA helllooooo Budget!
Thanks Martin!

I got mine for £74 from prudential third party

£89.93 from the Post Office for third party only after £50 postal order cashback.

If only I'd used Quidco too, it'd have been £59.93!

I just renewed mine and got it down to £81 (originally £201) for a full comp with protected NCB (9 years) using the Lloyds Insurance cashback link at quidco.
Last year I got it for £155 (originally £255) through Screensavers and quidco, the renewal they sent us this year was for £234 so a massive saving there!

Annando,
Like you I renewed mine recently and got it for £164. Originally £284 but £120 cashback from quidco.
Not bad for fully comp. including no claim protection and legal cover.

Mine was £65 with Swiftcover after £50 cashback. My previous insurer quoted me £130

I Renewed Last March Through Mse With The Post Office And It Was £110.00 Minus £50.00 Cash Back. Total£60.00.
However I Would Say That When My Car Was Stolen In September I Found It Difficult To Get Through To The Right Place To Claim As They Outsource The Claims Part To Another Company.
But You Get What You Pay For And I Was Really Pleased With The Premium.
Next Time I Will Use Quidco As I Used That Inseptember For My House Insurance And Saved £245.00!!!

When was £454 below £100 ?

This thread is for people that got insurance for under £100.

Got mine for £66.60 from Barclays, with their 'beat your renewal quote or match it and give you £50' offer.

(I tried to do the same with my home insurance, but they wouldn't accept my quote because I'd been sent it by email, not on paper. The renewal quote was only £89 - still, it would have been good to insure my house and contents for £39!)
