Hi Guys

Who would you say is the cheapest car insurance out there? I have been very unfortunate to have written off two cars in 12 months (motorway drive :() and had one slight prang?

Many Thanks for any advice, I really appriciate it.

    There isn't one insurer who is cheaper for everyone. Shop around.

    See if a local broker (not swinton) can help find insurers sympathetic to your history.

    Take some refresher lessons or an advanced course in defensive driving.

    That's not to bad an idea. The motorway crashes were not my fault but it had left me with anxiety. Do you know if the course is expensive?

    Not too bad. Maybe £100-200. When I passed my test I was fortunate enough to have my pass plus paid for by the local council and some efficient driving course free from the AA. I found them helpful.

    Some will say its a shame you have to be caught speeding etc in order to do a speed awareness course or whatever.

    Have all your losses been recovered from the 3rd party insurers for both these incidents? If so your premium shouldn't be too bad at all, just use the comparison sites.
