Try all the price comparison sites, I prefer www.confused.com (car insurance Cricko not your sordid sites!), find a site that has a supplier with the best price for your needs. The industry is now held accountable for MIDAS & thus will be charging us more to run it!
LV/Nationwide worked best for me (green card needed etc)

After many phone calls & searching other companies i renewed with Kwik-fit.
I managed to get the total to pay reduced by over £400.00.
Which works out only £3.00 more per month, not perfect, but worth a **** later i guess.
Plus there are sending me a credit of £22.50 for last year.

How much in road tolls? I paid 160 euros for one journey last year. I know you can avoid the toll roads but most motoways seem to charge a toll.

For the moment...............................(Tony, I know you LOVE those dots!:winking:)..........but I've heard talk..............................
With the van I'm obliged to pass a 'controle technique' every year, alternating between MOT and pollution tests. I use the van for business and I suppose that makes quite a difference to the insurance? I pay a sizeable 640 euros (fully comp) with AXA (perhaps I should shop around?) and keep that down by doing less than 10000 kms a year.
The strange system here is that you are locked into an insurance contract and to end it you have to remember to send the company a registered letter two months (I think) befor the policy is due for renewal.

I'm 23 and drive a Fiesta Zetec S 1.6i and pay £560 over 10 months (accelerator policy as I had no claims bonus'). That also includes my extras for paying monthly. For me when I added my mum and sister to the policy it dropped the quote by around £150. Yet when I added my dad (who has been driving longer than both put together and has no convictions or claims) the quote went up £100. I think that tells you all you need to know about how men are treated by insurance companies, even ones that are safe drivers.
Still I don't think my £560 is too bad for a driver under 25 with a hot hatch, but I am not looking forward to my renewal quote this year as the premiums have shot up since I last renewed.

Yep, but I don't think MAIF is as good, now it open to everyone. I think, however, the main problem comes when you say that you want to use your vehicle commercially, then, for insurance, the playing field doesn't seem to be at all the same.

48 and I dive a 2003 Works Cooper S, no points, full no claims, and depending on who you go with can be anywhere from group 15 to group 20, and pay a tad over £500.00 per year including the monthly payment premiums. Initially when I got the car last year I couldn't get a quote for less that 1K minimum and Churchill and the AA wouldn't even insure it :nope:. It took a while but I found a specialist MINI insurer who managed to quote me £421.00 fully comp :clap:in one lump sum and snapped it up. Gone up just over £100.00 in 12 months but I'm more than happy with that considering what some others on here are paying for theirs.

That's not bad actually. I spent more than that in a Little Chef last time I went on holiday.

Most insurance companies will give you a discount if you are a regular Top Gear viewer.
