    Hey, I know this isn't the most fun topic but just wanted to see if anyone could offer an opinion :50:

    End of the month my car insurance is up. I've been passed for three years with the same car and have 3 years no claims from the same company, eCar insurance.
    Started off at £900, dropped to £600 and last year was £360. They've offered me a quote for this year of £365.
    Obviously I wouldn't mind dropping this down since some people are paying less than £200! Anybody know any online or reputable companies that would offer something good? Any experience? Share! And thanks :celt_2:

    I do this every year, recommended. All reputable companies, Once you get your cheapest quote go on to the companies own webste to see if you can get it even cheaper.

    I work in insurance a rise of £5 from last year is pretty good based on the increase in rates. I would definitely take the advice of going on a comparison website and check out the best prices. Your quote is based on many factors mostly postcode, age, claims and convictions and mileage. Also your car insurance group makes a big difference you may want to check what that is.

    I would also phone some companies for a quote,
    because they don't all PAY to go on the comparison
    websites.

    I tried them(web sites) again this year,, £ 270 dearer for the nearest quote
    to my own insurance company:50:

    remember you only get what you pay for...online insurance companies are often cheaper until you need to claim then generally your *!
