Did you try going direct to Admiral? Might be even cheaper still.

I noticed that, generally cheaper if you get the quote from a comparison website then go to their own website.

+1... I've found that out too.

IMO if you've used a comparison website it still means lower quotes are to be had.

Admiral were £500 cheaper than Tesco for me.

 

[Gally]

They are cheaper for a reason.

Read your policy as most don't bother readin g past anything other than a courtesy car and a small premium. You'll realise why if you ever have to make a claim.

I pay £100 a year more than my cheapest quote because I chose a decent insurance company rather than the cheapest.

I'm sure Sky Insurance would of beaten that! I paid £750 for my 172 with 4 convictions (9 points) and at 22 with mirror 4 years NCB

I was going to ask if he tried the club insurers, we are quite often over looked which is a shame.. not all insurance companies use price comparison sites

admiral are £200 more than Direct line for me :S.

 

[Harpham]

Direct Line wont even quote me due to my age and car that I have

Can you provide more detail?

Hi mate.

Some things that come to mind.

Esure/AdmiralSainsbury's all add a £200 charge to your excess if you take the car to a repairer of your choice instead of theirs.
If any panels are damaged on your car they will do anything to repair them, we're talking filler end to end to save money.
Non original parts used on cars 3 years, ie. Pttern parts from Asia ect..

So much more but i'd be their a while!

Interesting mate, who do you work for out of interest? And who would you suggest for insurance?

 

[Šįk]

Flux, green light and sky(off here) were cheapest for me! Direct line was best but they don't insure mods under 25 so there no good to me now.

Gally, do u rekon the above insurers are good to be with? Lol.

 

[Gally]

Greenlight Broker style) seem good from what i've seen but most of the time you'll never know who the underwriters are.

Some of the more obscure companies are best, Zurich, Quinn insurance, RSA.

Axa are probably one to avoid as are Co-op but to be fair they are for older insurers, not too mny youngsters in performamce cars insuring with them.

I'm an Assessor for reference.
