How to get cheap car insurance

[danzooo]

I'm with Quinn Direct aswell and pay £2,700 a year, according to go compare/comparethemarket it was cheapest so meh

someone didn't do much shopping around

[Bewilcorp]

how much did the mini cost him

[FlyingJesus]

Compare sites aren't that great tbh, they miss out Direct Line and Churchill who are some of the biggest players in the insurance game (and probably a fair few more but I don't know for certain). Paid £1400 the first year, around £850 this year I believe both with Churchill.

With this cubey thing whatever it seems a lot of hassle but has anyone had a quote done with them? Would be interesting to see some figures but I'm not personally going to be calling 0845 numbers when I already have a pretty good deal

I'm insured with churchill.. It's costing me £1600 on a 1.9TDI PD130 Bora for a year, I get breakdown cover, £1000 audio cover, windscreen cover and they're dead helpful. Driving for 1 3/4 years with 1 years NCB, plus 3 points and a ban. Not bad really.

That's quite interesting. I'm not sure if I would be able to make sure I don't drive at night. Anyway can't you get a quote online?

my mates just got quoted at 636 quid.

Reason? He has a classic mini cooper, 20 years old and got it through a mini cooper group, with a company specialising in classic cars.

What?! How old is he? I've just written off an '85 Mini and my quote was 1200 (which I'm still have to pay off until June) and they essentially paid out 50 quid (400 minus my excess of 350) ;l I did a lot of searching around but those classic car specialists won't have you until you're like 25. Bloody thing cos me near enough 2 grand as well

cheaper: don't get it at all. then don't crash.

much more expensive and risk of getting into trouble: don't get it at all. be crashed into/get caught :L

[adaym]

When I passed my insurance was £1,400 by Tesco. I'd rather be able to drive at night and not be pushed into the belief that all drivers can't drive at night :/ The savings are good, but I'd rather have all the trimmings and the ability to be able to drive at night, and not have some sort of tracker fitted to my car :/
