has anyone actually had cheaper car insurance? we've all seen the tv adverts "quote me happy" save up to £107. whenever i ring up no-one ever beats my quote from who i'm already with.
The wonderful qualification " UP TO ........" in a sentence . Do you know I can satisfy a woman up to a hundred times a night ?
There was a subject :shock:
i have just re- insured my van this week online much cheaper than anywhere else i could find. Total price £220 for a year for a ford courier van which was over £100 cheaper than my renewal quote froma well advertised insurance company .
if anyone wants the company name just pm me as i can not put it here as it would be advertising and against the rules ..

i think they give a few people cheap quotes so these people tell there friends, a chap at work said hey get your car quote from(.....) i rang them they was £100 more than i was paying at that time
I have just checked out
They search many different companies in one go so you only need to enter your details once..
Cheapest quote I have got is £50 cheaper than I paid last year :shock:
So it seems my renewal will actually be cheaper this year with another years NCB instead of it going up to pay for all the scallywags who dont bother with insurance.... :thumbup:
I tried and all quotes came back at 500 quid or so... when my insurer was offering me 364 quid. So I went to and found too many quotes lower than the one I had been quoted for renewal. Some were valid for 5 days only, some were valid for a month. In the small print one realises they do not cover you for everything your current insurer is... so add this, add that... the prices go up. However, there was a quote from my insurer there... and I checked it out and it didn't make sense as it was cheaper. So the following morning I rang them and asked about it and ended up getting a price even cheaper!
My insurance this year cost me £336 and I got a lower excess as well (experience has taught me that accidents do happen without it being your fault and then it is well worth paying a few quid more per annum to get a lower excess than trying to save a few quid and then paying more than £50 quid on each accident you report...
It is worth shopping around but one needs to be very careful to get a comparable offer.
I just keep renewing with same place. Evyrywhere els is £100 quid dearer. Might need to insure a bike soon aswell with a bit of luck.
well our renewal quote was £321 (been with the same company 10 years and have 10 yr NCB) and we managed to get it online at ecarinsurance for £164 with no claims protection and free breakdown cover including homestart we honestly thought the quote was a mistake as everywhere else we tried was between £300 and £400 anyway we went for it and now have the policy through including the breakdown cover, we've also just taxed the car online too on the dvla website and all was fine, just can't seem to believe how much we saved!!!!!
buy a landrover, join the NFU, fully comp & breakdown £105 quid
I can understand everyones frustations when phoning up for cheaper car insurance, I have done it myself, but please bear a thought for the poor insurance adviser at the other end of the phone who gets it in the neck cos the insurance quote they have just given the customer is too high .(It could be me at the end of the phone giving the quote)
Must say not all customers are the same
It is not the insurance adviser that makes the prices it is the insurance company.
But I am pleased that a lot of you have found cheaper car insurance sorry to say its not with who I work for.
Bang goes my bonus
