Just cut my insurance by £150

Just searching for car insurance on my new car, and most were coming up at around £1100 (young guy who's had an accident and lives in a "dodgy" area).

Went through all the search engines etc like the mse main article, and found elephant to be the cheapest... carried on going through the processes and noticed the "10 month speedy no claims" selection, which automatically dropped my insurance by £150. This means I'm only insured for 10months yes, but, this also means that I'll be able to re-new my insurance earlier and I'll be 24 next time, therefore will be saving money just for being older.

I have a friend in the insurance business and she reckoned my insurance (all things going well) would be nearly £400 cheaper next time I renew, therefore I've saved myself £150 now, and get the £400ish saving sooner, which then keeps going throughout the years!

Today is looking good!
After four years of credit card debts, six months ago I'm finally fully in the green... Saving £400 per month (when I say saving, I mean going towards holidays and tattoo's) and self employed with a company doing well!
