i compared the market much better than them
i had my renewal from admiral the other day
 £985how about kiss my arse. so i did thee usual compare the market, confuse **** that were no good cheapest being £950ish most being £4k ish  anyway elephant website came up cheapest at £711 not too bad but still too much so i made a few adjustments added a few named drivers and got it down to £580 the best i thought id get considering my mishap last year. i gave admiral a call to tell them of there lost business, only to find out that elephant are a sister company to admiral and they would match my quote  so by the time we have gone over a few details i got a final quote of £407   who said shopping about never pays saved myself £578 tonight

Quote:
Can i be really nosey and ask what voluntary excess you've selected? Was the additional driver a woman, and do you declare it as parked in the garage or drive? Have my insurance renewal coming up so would be good to get some tips. Best quote so far is £478 (Elephant.co.uk) - fully-comp, No-claims protected, insured in swindon, on-street parking, 10k miles a year, £150 voluntary excess and the gf as an additional driver. No claims or convictions in the last 3 years. Cheers, Oli

Mines just under £4k with my mum(52), dad(53), sister(31) and me on it. Using my dads NCB and car is allways garaged. Increased £75 annually when I changed from my 4.2 QS to the S8. Will call around tomorrow to see if I can get a cheaper quote otherwise I think I will have to suspend it for a few months, anyone want to hire my S8 out?
