IMHO they have always come up trumps. Pretty cheap across the board

I did an online quote with Privillege for a Cayman S which came in at £500. Thats about £250 cheaper than my current Exige.

I have the same car / year but with a full NCD, though I'm a bit younger - c.£350 with More Than.

Try one of the comparison sites such as www.confused.com

Academy Insurance are brokers for Norwich Union amongst others; take your best quote to them, see what they can do and you should be pleasantly surprised.

no affiliation but well chuffed that i've reduced my insurance by £1,000.

Your 2years NCD is your main problem - Insurance companies seem to rely heavily on this. I am paying £640 with Sainsburys for my C4S (31yr,Full NCB).

From what i remember Elephant were probably the best when i was looking for an alternative.

Try and get an extra 10% or so discount as a new customer - the 2 yr NCB is what is keeping the premium up. IIRC Norwich Union do such a scheme and give another 5% if you buy on-line. Also, when I needed them (ie following a short unplanned cross-country jaunt in the Boxster!) they handled my claim brilliantly.

I paid a good £800 less than that for a brand new Boxster S when I was 28 with 2 years NCD!

I agree. I'm 27, i have a 02 boxster 2.7. I'm only paying £500 fully comp with protected no claims.

Think they tryed stitching you up, or maybe you just live in a really bad postcode area.

Thanks everybody, will try some of the suggestions shortly.

Annoying thing is had bump 18 mths (first in 14 yrs) ago knock for knock but he gave his solicitor my wrong address!!
End result they take me to court unknown to me or my insurance, win cos we don't show!

My insurance then get judgement saying they lost case, they pay up 5 weeks later (not 28 days), nobody bothers to tell me till 4 months later when i'm turned down for £80 worth of credit!!!
And i've now got ccj cos of insurance settling too late!
All on traders policy which you cannot protect with MMA.

Might just go back on traders policy and buy an sell couple of cars over course of year...

INSURANCE.... weeping

Results so far

A Plan- £1,727
Swinton- £1,902
Flux-£1,824

Elephant-£1361
Tesco-£1,402
Quoteacar(confused.com) £1,278

Traders policy any number of cars owned , any car to drive owned or not fully comp-£1,098

You'd think some insurance company would have come up with the idea of ' don't have a claim and you get half/third of your money back!'.

idea May start my own insurance company!!!!!!!!!!!!
