Self Employed car insurance HELP

pitry

Dear All,
does anyone know of a good car insurer for a self employed lady?

I have had to turn to freelancing as I can't get a job (on PAYE) and therefore had to register self employed.
I had quotes nearing £800 for a Toyota Prius 57 reg, I have 11 years no claims and this is double than my current insurance.

Any suggestion will be tried but after doing the regular compare engines (which are a load of bull) and Aviva and Direct Line, I am nearly in tears!

Thanks very much

Im self employed, im 27 and passed my test 3 months ago my insurance is about £1300!

how can there only be a £500 different if you have 11 years no claims! Have you been on confused.com and moneysupermarket? I foudn they both had different prices and different insurers popped up too. Mine is with LV= they were coming out about £300 less than everyone else.

As mikey72 indicated describing yourself as self-employed is no help.

I know self-employed journalists,lawyers, accountants, bookkeepers, builders etc.

Journalists generally have difficulty getting insurance.

The self employed element will be making little if any difference. Just to test it I did two identical quotes online, one self employed the other as employed via Confused.com and all the results returned in the top 10 were identical.

There are evidently other factors that are pushing up your premiums
