I'm sick at the moment, bought a cheap little Perodua Myvi to run around in, 33 years old, driving instructor, doing 5,000 miles a year and they want £1000 for the fking thing

Driving instructors are high risk, say you are a company director or a postman, put your partner on the insurance if you have one, you'll get a 25% reduction

Yes, and why not say you're 63 and not 33. You'll get an even bigger discount.

Yeah and also lie about how many years no claims you have

Always shop around 4-6 weeks before your insurance is due. You will get cheaper quotes. Leave it to the day before and it might cost you 30% more because they know you are desperate.

Go back to your original insurance company with the cheaper quote and ask for a price match. I did that with Tesco got the price match at a £50 shopping voucher.

They won't price match a third year running though.

Use a comparison site to get an idea of costs.

Since 2015 my insurance for my car £235 and my van £224 hasn't gone up.

But the best way to reduce the cost, get it 6 weeks in advance.

My SKoda is modified + this limits the no. of companies which will insure it
