I just try those comparison websites, find the cheapest and go to their actual website and re enter the info and it usually comes up cheaper.

Then check who is the underwriter.......in the case of the cheapest I had, the underwriter was Direct line so I went to them and got an even cheaper quote...happy days.

£550 is a pretty average price, doesn't go lower than that very often

2006 Hawk WRX, Subaru Insurance who I've been with for years whacked it up to £608 for no apparent reason. Direct line quoted me 414.96 and got the business. I'm 49, 7 years no claims which would have been way more had I not been on a company car insurance prior to that.

Surely Jarvis you should be ringing Saga as they offer good discounts to the elderly driver.

You're a lot younger than me? Perhaps mentally but it's to do with your postcode - move to a less rough area.

All insurance types have gone up - my house insurance has gone up by just under £100. Unfortunately it's the same for all types of insurance - we have to pay for the losses suffered due to false/inflated claims especially personal injury claims.

My insurance went up from £509 to £550, I tried A Plan and a few others and the most I could save was £15 so it wasn't worth the hassle and time to change from Keith Michaels.

Unfortunately we are all in the same boat.
