Car Insurance

[Danny McGee]

Alright Folks!

Just got myself a new car and am looking to insure it. Any ideas on the best places to try? I've just got off the phone with the co op and they said £1300 :O, the best i can get it at the moment with the usual suspects is about £600 but wondered if anyone new any great deals. If it helps its a 225, 53 plate audi tt.

Cheers

Danny

p.s if you just wanna give me abuse about it, leave that too my face i've had plenty already so theres no need to put it on here, im just after some decent quotes

Once you have some quotes go to quidco and see which are offering cashback.

Hey Danny,
I use www.moneysupermarket.com for comparisons, but then I also ring Direct Line who tend to still be the cheapest for me and use them, they've been cheapest for me on the Z3, Focus and Mondeo.

If you put someone on your policy as a named driver, for example - your mum, then this can make a big difference. Its completely legal too.

How is your home postcode rated? Give them someone else address if insurance is cheaper for a different area.

That's a brilliant idea, I bet the insurance companies have never thought of that...

Having working in the motor insurance industry for the last 12 years, this would not be a good idea... trust me! It could potentially invalidate any claim! Same goes for not informing insurance companies of previous claims or driving convictions. If you ever put in a claim or a claim is put in against you the insurance companies will check out everything and these days will all the different databases out there it makes it very easy for them to catch you out!

I recently swapped both cars to Direct Line and saved a fortune.... The don't advertise with confused.com or other comparison sites so you'll have to go direct....

Direct line fill out the form online 5 mins and the job is done

I've been with Direct line for 5 years and asked for a quote. Over the phone it was 900 but they said they would match the on-line price of 666. Still a bit high i think. Surly i can get it cheaper as ive got 7 years NCB

the only thing you can do Dan, is to just shop round.... might even be worth going to see an insurance broker as they can shop round more.

[GRIFF55]

try herts insurance consultants (hic) or allen and allen. both usually good on vw/audi quotes

Brokers don't really "shop" around for you, it's just of a sales pitch. Brokers have a number of insurers on their systems that they can sell policies on behalf of and that's about it.
