Peoples Choice Car Insurance

Has anyone every heard of them or used them?

I live in Manchester and all insurance companies seem to think its a black hole - both in terms of our pockts for insurance costs and claims

These guys seem to say they offer cover for this area specifically though.

There price was almost £100 cheaper then my current policy.

Just trying to see if anyone has heard of them.

    You need to find out who the parent company is and as Dacouch said in this case its the Hastings group.

    Google them. Have a flask and Sandwiches ready your in for a long read.

    They're a broker / agent, not an actual Insurer.

    Don't take any notice of the 5 star dafaqto they quote as it's easy to manipulate.

    They quote from a panel of different Insurers, but being part of the Hastings Group is a big no no.

    Have a look at the fees they charge, which are listed on their website

    Which Insurer did they quote you with, if it's a decent Insurer, it might be worth trying getting a quote from the Insurer direct if they deal direct.

    Note sometimes certain brokers have special deals so it might not work but is worth trying.

    Have you tried adding a parent or friend especially partner as this often reduces the premium
