    Why dont you put the quote through https://www.confused.com as they do comparisons too.

    Try Norwich Union as they are very competitive nowadays and offer excellent service when claming. (they paid out on my car when it was written off in under a week).

    as above to points - read thru martins car insurance article.

    then check out different search bots including confused.com

    then check the top 2 or 3 of each list, just done that with wifes renewal and it came back less than current year - so bye bye directline...... my insurance is due up in the next 2 weeks - so will repeat the process
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:

    thanks, but i really did'nt want any referrals to any more "cheapest car insurance in world websites" i am already aware of them (should have made it clear myself) just wanted to know if quote was good (i have provided more than enough info ) alas it is highly unlikely i will ever know
    btw i think quote is not competitive at all ,tried others before and have been v disappointed but will give them a try i suppose -but not erxpecting much

    Cheapest for me was https://www.ecarinsurance.co.uk but it all depends on where you live and all those other types of things. I also recommend all the bots like confused which robnye mentions. All you can do is get quotes quotes and even more quotes.
