Cool. As long as it's an insurer you (or at least somebody you know) has heard of.

Bell are Admiral/Elephant. Been with them for a few years now and provide the cheapest cover for 21-25 in my experience. Not claimed yet though!

Just about to renew mine.
Was with Tesco at just under 2k for an 01 Gx which was the cheapest I could find at the time. Now about to renew with eCar Insurance - Get a low cost car insurance quote from eCar Insurance at just under £1500 for a Turbo 2000.
Searched everywhere and thats the best I could find, not many insurers will cover a 21 year old for a turbo. Hey its expensive but I love my cars!

very good insurers. i recommend them. they wanted £1751 fully comp for a 22 year old with 9 months driving experience back in december last year off me. everyone else wanted nearly double that.

and when it comes to claiming, whether it be your fault or not, they came up trumps too. very quick to sort out and handle everything

Yes, they are a joke.

Sold my Impreza and bought a run around while waiting for my car. Rang up to change insurance over to my new trusty Rover 214, conversation went something like this:

Hello Good Morning can I help you please
Yes I have a new car to change the policy to
Ok Thanking you, can you tell me the make please
Rover
How are you spelling that sir
R..O..V..E..R
I'm sorry, can you repeat for me please

etc etc

Then Rover sold and new S3 arrives. Now as you know any german car is very basic and has to be specced up, so I called and said I have a new car to insure (English person this time) gave the details. I then reeled off the list of options, e.g. Ipod connection, multi function steering wheel, electric lumbar support etc

They were happy to insure but said it was terms of their policy to replace/value car based on manufacturer spec and not with any options added.

im suprised, as i thought they were internet only. but you did swap the policy from one car to another so i guess thats different.
