Default It's not all doom and gloom with car insurance!

Whilst I am not disputing that some insurance quotes have increased by 30% for some, I was extremely pleased with Keith Michaels reducing mine by 28%!

I am not going to provide prices as it is largely irrelevant unless you live next door to me, have the same experience etc and same profile as me. But needless to say, that I have been with KM for 3yrs now and my previous quote paid last year (as they always have been, hence part of the reason for using them) was very good imo..... this renewal is just bonkers cheap!

I now pay less insurance on a JDM Hawkeye Scoob, then my Mondeo Diesel!

If it comes down when I turn 40 this year, KM may end up paying me next year!

Not all insurance quotes are all woe and that is in part to having a great broker like KM!

Mine has gone up to, A-Plan have given best quote by far, Keith Michaels (Gary M) said it wasn't even worth him trying to quote!

Thanks for the kind words

We have 3 new schemes for the Subaru's/Evo's/Skyline's etc, so are able to get some very good prices (most of the time)

My old man is ringing you tomorrow. He is fed up with not being allowed to drive my Scoob so has found his own but is struggling to find an affordable insurance policy to get it on the road, hope you can sort him out.

My Renewal was £1650 with Aviva, was £850 last year. Im 28, 5yrs NCB.
Thought that was outrageous so did a few quotes, couldnt get through to Gary@KM in time, so had to go with Elephant, not ideal, but at £579 i couldnt say no. Thats a saving of over £1000 on my renawal, crazy times!!
