Some companies just don't want to insure under 30 year olds, or performance cars, so are increasing their rates to push people away.

Pm me your details and i'll happily look at a quote for you

I never bother with t'internet come renewal time, quotes are a joke. Speak to same companies by phone and you generally get MUCH better prices.

Even though the insurance comparison sites said Elephant would cost a fortune for me, I rang up and they were easily the cheapest.

The comparison sites aren't always that accurate in my experience.

comparison sites, like the dreaded which magazine, take back handers and are not impartial!
