Blacklisted from car insurance quotes

edybedy

I'm having trouble with car insurance and my problem needs a bit a of backstory. So bare with me about a month ago I started trying to get my first car and insurance so while looking at many different cars I tried a lot of quotes(in hindsight, a mistake) to see what the price would be for every car not knowing about car insurance groups and that I could've just done that so fast forward to a week ago when I bought my car and started trying to get insurance the quotes I was and I'm getting are ridiculous at around 400 pounds a month provided that a month ago I was getting 100 pound quote for the same type of car so I called gocompare and asked what's up they said im on some kind of blacklist from trying too many quotes and that it would take an unspecified amount of time for it to reset and apparently this blacklist isnt just for gocompare everyone shares the same databases so even when i call an insurer i get ridiculous prices and most of the time i dont even get a quote.

get a broker to get your quotes
good lesson to future readers, use dummy quotes, no real address or names and use a vpn too

Go to an insurer that is not on a comparison site. Such as direct line.

Also change your date of birth by a small amount.

I was banned from one of the comparison sites because i put almost every car through within a 50 mile range...

I simply contacted them and explained its for a younger new driver and that the price was more important than what car it was and they unblocked us with no issues.

Cant see your premiums being increased just for too many quotes.

All our quotes after being unblocked were exactly the same as before. But all the info was true with only the car changing.
