Blocked from buying Car Insurance? Help!

[FONT=&quot]I think i may of been blocked from buying car insurance with some providers?

Basically im looking at getting a new car again so ive been looking at different models, engine sizes and the rest of it and been doing insurance quotes on them as being a youngish driver my insurance quotes are quite high and especially on new cars too so just really been looking at the best car to buy. But now on some insurance websites i keep getting this message[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"We're sorry, but we're unable to give you a quote[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Unfortunately, based on the information you have given us we are unable to offer you a MORE TH>N Car Insurance quote. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]However, the good news is that we've teamed up with a partner who may be able to help you."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I get the same message with other providers too. Is it possible to get blocked from buying car insurance if you look too much? And how do i get unblocked? I mean my current car is insured with the said insurance where im now getting the unable to quote message so something must of happened?[/FONT]

    Your not blocked, they do not want to insure you with the details provided.

    If your under 50 SAGA wont quote for you because they want over 50's.

    Choose a Porsche Turbo, 17 years old, held licence less than a week, But a Bradford postcode and see who quotes.

    I will do tomorrow as there closed now. But just a little annoyed that they have blocked me as I work hard for my money and im looking around for the best quote and deciding what car to buy basically based on the insurance and they have blocked me (along with some other companies, of who ive never looked at) and its making it difficult to look due to this now.

    We all work hard for our money.

    Most sites have anti fraud measures in place, multiple quotes with differing information each time will eventually trigger these, it's got nothing to do with how hard you work.

    If you just want to run test quotes to see what various cars would cost then use dummy info that is close enough to your own to give you an idea.

    It means the companies won't insure your personal profile and car combination.

    I changed cars when I was about 19/20 and the insurance company I was with said they won't insure anyone under 21 on anything greater than 100bhp, so they had no product to sell me, so they were unable to give me a quote.

    Also, doing multiple quotes with different answers can cause your price to go up and if you are already at the high risk end, that could push you over into decline.

    Yeah so obviously they must know people will be looking around for the cheapest quote and looking at different models/engine sizes of cars?

    So they wont insure me full stop now? Ive even tried with my car that is already insured with them, still no joy?

    NB quotes and renewals are different, if you have only been playing with the car I would be surprised if it generated any issues for renewal even if their NB system is now declining you.

    When you are playing/working hard you should never use your real details but just something very similar to you otherwise the blocks/ premium increases they put in as counter fraud/rate raiding measures will cause you problems when you are finally ready to actually buy.

    Calm down dear. Your problem is getting quotes - not getting insurance.
