Default Best insurance companies

Ok, after giving up the fight with Direct Line i am looking at accepting a quote through a broker but just wanted to get a bit of advice first,

Who are the better companies to go with?

And who should i avoid?

I've just had a quote from Adrian Flux who have managed to insure me with someone for £875 fully comp! Pretty good as I'm 26 with 4ncb (protected) with a 1998 WRX STI with the following mods declared: alloys, FMIC, manifold, lowered/coilovers only **** thing is £500 excess which I'm hoping to try and get down a bit when/if I take the policy out!

I'm also try Keith Michaels tomorrow as some people on here say he's pretty good!

for the best prices, A-Plan, Keith Michaels and Sky Insurance.

they were all within £15 of each other on calling round and renewal from KM. sky insurance was the cheapest although keith michaels matched it to get my money this year.

sky insurance, no idea what they're like but seemed as good as any other on the phone.
A-Plan is a pleasure to deal with and i used them for a couple of years with no issues at all.
Keith Michaels can be an ****-ache to get hold of but are very professional and like minded car enthusiasts.

Any of the above really

To be fair, you'd be hard pressed to find any insurer who doesn't receive mixed reviews..

Yes, Gary has helped sort out my insurance today, he was very helpful and put my mind at rest

Just a point to note, it did take a couple of calls to get hold of him but was well worth it in the end.

I like state farm.. I have been spreading this link for them and http://whyagent.com gives endless reasons to get a State Farm agent. There is also a great deal of helpful information on their site.
