I'm with Privilige now, but tried Tesco compare t'other evening and Tesco themselves came out above Privilige by nearly £150. Quoted me £550 but I am an old timer at 30

So I shall be trying them again when it's due for renewal but will also try A-plan after reading this thread.

I looked on Tesco compare earlier, I didn't type anything else as it said something about if your car is modified, they can't help you!

Yep,he insured my '96 wrx with all mods declared for just over £500 fully comp Best price I could get elsewhere was around £900 without mods declared

Give Gary a call before you do anything else and see what he can do. You will find his details in the Insurance section.

Whatever you do,stay away from More Than insurance. Just insured my Mondeo ST24(second car) with them,could hardly understand what they were saying on the phone and when the policy came through the post almost every detail was wrong,took 2 days to get it sorted because they wanted to charge me for change of details They were very cheap though but I just hope I never have to deal with them over a claim !!

It's usually cheaper if you add your missus to your policy (or mum if you is a batty boy), as apparently they are less risk... no sexism there then. You can save a couple of hundred adding them as a second driver, just don't actually let em drive
