    I had my insurance under a hundred a year with similar details - I wonder if its the area you live in that's the problem?
    assume you have tried Admiral?

    Must be where I live. Admiral £291. Not Fair :(

    Would you mind telling me which ones are working, is it still buy in 2's or is this a different glitch? x

    Still buy in twos, as Sains are 2 for £2 - these are the ones comparing.

    Yep, thanks for mentioning.
    Tried them earlier on and more expensive than Saga for me.

    I got a good deal from Aviva last year and £70 Quidco.

    Ive been doing my house insurance tonight. Ive tried all the ones with decent CB offers and couldn't get a quote for any less than double my renewal figure :eek:
    Ive ended up going through the forces discount website and have found one that is only slightly below my renewal quote, if I factor in an extra discount for first time policies. It's such a small saving, I don't know if I'll bother.
    I guess occasionally, it's just not possible to beat your current provider

    Thank You.

    All details are up-to date.
    Think the problem may be something to do with the fact I retired in 2000 when I was 43 and it just confuses them :rotfl:
    Unfortunately had no choice, forced to take ill-health retirement.
    Mileage under 4k per year, car small - 9 years old, had from new.
    No claims or convictions, driving 37 years, only driver :)

    Try playing with the mileage,I find that by going just over the 4k it can reduce by £10.
    Time consuming but try unemployed rather than retired,anyone else as named driver this reduces premium.Look over mse tips on insurance.

    Sorry that you haven't been able to find anything cheaper - what about speaking to your current insurer to see if they can give you anything off to persuade you to stay with them? :D

    Thanks for your help, my 3 year old still loves the puddings so going to get her some x

    12 (the same) of these, cost £6, APG £4.40, so £1.60 for 12,

    OR

    11 + 1 different, cost £6, APG £4.84, so £1.16 for 12.
