Default insurance costs

Hey All

What the most amount you have paid for insurance. I got a qoute from churchil for £1650, specialist cannot offer me any cheaper than this. I thinking if its worth buying another scooby at this cost.

Im 26 with 3 NCB.

2003 WRX

£362.55/year (1st Central)

32 years old, 14 years NCB (though their maximum is 9+ years)

One of the few benefits of getting older.

Which area is the car being kept in? As if it's a high risk postcode you can expect to pay more.

I'm 24 with a Hawkeye STI, costs me approx £800 with 1 year NCB.

I'd rather pay more and insure elsewhere, than be covered by Admiral.

You can bring premiums down by (in no particular order):
being older and more experienced
not having accidents (either fault or non fault as some insurers will up your premium in the event of a non fault accident, Admiral I'm looking at you [happened to me and a friend, grr])
not smoking
not commuting
good car security (inc cameras, there are a few insurers around now who give discounts for car cameras)
low crime post code (not just car crime, where I live suffers from "anti social" crime, but no car crime at all, and I get penalised for it)
sharing risk with named drivers
sharing risk with the insurer by taking a high voluntary excess
keeping your annual mileage down
working for an insurer who gives staff discount
having your home insurance with the same people (multi product discount)

plus more....
