I think ~ I've tried all the usual suspects. MORE TH>N come out on top so far. TESCO second. FLUX(highway) are nowhere near neither are L&V. I had to make a claim last year and it hasn't half bumped the premium up.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for some others worth trying.

gives you a nice comparison of the range of premiums available, from 20 or so companies. I would use a different email address from my usual one though, as I did get quite a few emails afterwards from other companies trying to sell me insurance (I ticked the box that allowed companies who weren't available online at the time to contact me afterwards).

So - they cost more than everyone else? What a surprise!

elephant.co.uk have been giving me cheap quotes recently. I know a lot of other people who have gone with them too.

After much shopping around I found esure.com were the cheapest. I haven't tested them claim-wise but I've got my house insurance with, claimed on that within a month of using them with absolutely no troubles - that premium has increased by a few pence only.

Worth a punt for a quote.

No they're the cheapest so far. I was/am very surprised!

Thanks - already tried them. They're not interested in quoting me because of the claim :(

were the best for me although I have their credit card which gives you an extra little discount. Before that I was with Tescos who didn't have shove the premium up, despite an extra years NCD and no accident when everyone else was much lower.

will give them a go but the site is down ATM - privilege are the cheapest now - 50 quid cheaper than - more than - who are about 150-300 quid cheaper than the rest apart from tesco. This insurance thing is a right malarky isn't it.

Ah - sorry, I thought by "on top" you meant they had the highest price.

I understand the misunderstanding :D. Privilege are cheapest now.

Give the post office a try

they were cheapest for me this year. I think they're new to the car insurance game so might initially be cheaper to gain business before slowly increasing their prices.

Churchill upped our premiums so we went with more than last year - this year they have hiked the premiums on both cars by over 17% and we are full NCD too anyway. NOT good - phoned but they said nocando to haggling. guess I'll be investigating this weekend too ;-((
