Hiya i recently purchased a years insurance for a 325 BMW for £18 a year, the original quote was £98 then swintons were offering £40 cashback after 90 days and £40 is currently going through Quidco! unbelieveable:beer:

surely for this thread to have any real meaning there has to be a like for like comparison, ie same type of car , use, owner, etc so that there is a real piece of information being given.

Hi all,

A bit new to all this (!)...Which Company gives the biggest cashback on Car insurance? Best I seem to have found is £70 for e-car?

Got a total of £371 for my peugot 106xnd p plate, fully comp, breakdown inc homestart, key cover, protected NCD, windscreen cover, hire car cover, £100 excess. Not sure of premium to pay monthly but works out at £301 with the Quidco cashback!

Any other ideas?

No point looking at biggest cash back - you need to first compare prices and policies without the cash back.

If one company gives £100 cash back but is £200 higher originally than another giving £50 cash back ....................

Go to a comparison site, get the best policies/prices (if possible using a different name/no car number!) then clear your cookies and go to a cash back site and see if those companies are on the list of insurers giving cash back and then get a quote through the cash back link.

Yes, managed to get the net cost below £30 a couple of years ago. Didn't really try 12 months ago but am having a go at getting as low as possible this time around.

Best i can find is £70 cashback from RAC on £139.23 policy = net cost £69.23

So I bought this and the £70 from Quidco is showing.

Out of the blue I got a letter from RAC saying they were sending me a cheque for £30 as that was the deal on the website!! Don't remember that at all. But £39.23 net cost for fully comp on a skoda Fabia 1.9 diesel will do nicely.

Hi all,
I posted on this thread back on page 4:

Why didnt this count as cheapest?

It turned out it was even better...
after the insurance ran out, I got a further 5000 clubcard points (on top of the 6000 already awarded and the £100 of Tesco vouchers)...

I use these as clubcard deals, on car servicing amongst other things, so always get the 4 times value.

Hence, for the £339 fully comp with protected no claims, I received £100 straight vouchers plus £440 worth of clubcard deals...

Which puts the final cost of insurance that year at...

minus £201 !!!

Yes, I was paid the equivalent of £201 to insure my car (Audi A4).

Beat that!

Sorry, we didn't spot this last year Dan.

It's a great price, although not officially using the MSE system, so well done
