I know that some of my friends find Tesco the cheapest
, no harm in giving it a go.

Hi Aaron,
What sort of 9N are you insuring?
I'm with Eagle Star Direct, who I believe recently got 'taken over' by Zurich. I'm 30 and my insurance is cheap as chips but i've been with them for ages and they've always been the cheapest for me. You can get a quote on-line.
Hows about the AA or Elephant.co.uk for alternatives?
Any discounts you could get? For example; I get a 15% discount as a member of the NHS.
Good luck.

Ouch.
Out of interest, I just got an on-line quote at Elephant for myself, pretending I was 18 - only 1 years no claims etc.
£1102.57 !
Might be worth a try.
(I won't depress you by saying what my REAL quote was
)

I'm with CIS at the moment under my dad's name any driver policy with 3 yrs NCB and that's £700
Im 21 (22 in Oct) and will get my own in Aug. With Elephant with no no claims at the mo it will cost me £980. With my Advanced Motoring (
http://www.iam.org.uk) it will come down to £830 and if I put my g/f on as a 2nd driver who I don't live with and just put down as my partner who is 20 will bring it down to £720!
So
a) do advanced driving
b) add a second driver (even if its you neighbour or whatever)
