    Thumbs up Insurance made easy

    Don't know if you are all aware but there is a insurance search web-site that you may be aware of but it saved me £210.

    http://www.confused.com

    well worth it, just fill in all your details and it lists all the insurance providers in price order.

    The problem with confused, the aa etc is they work with a select number of main insurers. Try a few out. Mine was 650 a year. Went to admiral and it halfed... not sure why.... but I was happy enough

    Just be careful of these online insurance searches. I obtained an online quote from Sainsbury's and Admiral. I was already insured with Sainsbury's and thought i would just transfer the car over. Admiral quoted £577 online and Sainsbury's £720. I rang sainsbury's to arrange the cover and they didnt even ask about a price just told me my premium was £520. So be warned. Online isnt necessarily the cheapest. However Confused is pretty good. I got my Triumph Speed triple insured through them at 120% cheaper than i found phoning around!

    I agree, it is a good money and time saving site and is how I got my insurance through Admiral - around £300 for the V70 T-5 (living in the sticks does have an advantage!)

    But I got a cheaper quote via Admiral's own web site than the admiral quote on confused.com

    probably teaching grandmothers to suck eggsbut beware cheap insurance.
    My initial quotes seemed attractive until I compared like-with -like.
    Once you add in extras for such things as foreign cover, free hire car in event of accident, legal expenses cover, similar voluntary excess etc.etc. The cheaper firms suddenly became more expensive!

    Oops, yes I forgot to mention that the reason the premium went down was as a result of having Kirsty on the policy.

    Anyone with a renewal due, try including a female driver on the policy for a quote, if you ave not already.

    Is it just me, or is anyone else uncomfortable with the thought of someone else (no matter how much you love them) driving your car?
