We found an insurer that we quite liked and then spent ages playing with the figures... for example my husband first as a named driver saved a few pounds.... me as retired rather than unemployed (I am getting a pension but looking for work)
Changing the annual mileage and so on.

Be aware that many insurers will track all the different options you entered and may result in additional evidence being requested to substantiate that you have given truthful answers and not given false answers to manipulate your premium.

Generally if you want to play with things you're best off doing things using dummy data - a neighbour's address, fake name and date of birth one day out etc.

I passed on my 27th birthday (on the 6th attempt..!), and got myself a wee little VW Polo 1.4.

Diamond was the insurer I went with, coming out at around £800 for the year. Aviva, on the other hand wanted over £2400.

Er, no thanks.

Look elsewhere OP!

Ooo, yes.
Dummy dates of birth, addresses, names and so on.
I pity the person with the mobile number 07712345432 they must get so much spam.
I have an unused email address that I send the quotes to.


All the answers given are correct- there are just different ways of saying the same thing.
