Unfortunately we can't always be the cheapest (have never said we are)

If we are uncompetitive it is usually down to a reason.

At a rough guess... given your age and the newness of it all... your experience counts against you. Insurers like it if you've been driving cars like this for a wheel so they are more confident you know what you are doing. If you don't have a lot of experience of high powered motors (which at your age you won't) then the premium will be higher.

Just a thought!

He doesn't give his age?

but more importantly he doesn't give the area he lives in either

No not really. Seems strange that you joined and the first post was to state KM was the dearest insurer you tried. KM is consistantly one of the lowest priced insurers on here, hense why it seemed a little weird.

I'll go with other posters and say it may be your age, postcode, experience with performance cars. If not, then could be who you got the quote off as Moley will agree some of the guys there are crap in all fairness

Correct. I shall of course punch myself in the ***** for this error.

Wayne, should have checked on here first. You need to speak to Gary and Gary only i'm afraid.

Sky/A-Plan it doesn't matter who you talk to.
