    Insurance is a crock of tulip. I've just done a quick search as mine is due in a couple of weeks.

    I had a slight bump in early 2007 (a couple of hundred to fix at the most) and some scrote broke into my car while I was at the supermarket, knackering the lock and damaging the door. Again - not a hugely expensive fix. Total cost to the insurance company was about 700. Added to that I got pulled for speeding in Jan 2006 and got 3 points. Other than that, nothing in the whole time I've been driving (about 18 years)

    The lowest I can get is about 400

    If I drop either one of the claims out of it I can get it down to 282. So because some scrote decided to pick my car out of all of the cars in Sainsburys car park I get stung for an extra 120 quid. It's not like my actions in going to the supermarket were that of a bad driver. The car had nothing valuable on display. On the second claim I wouldn't have claimed had I kknown it would cost me this much (it was higher on the last 2 years) but only found out about the effect on my no claims part when I came to renew. "oh they should have told you that when you placed the claim"

    Funnily enough...

    Last week the Mrs & I spent about three hours going through eight price comparison web sites to get car insurance.

    Beware of the "voluntary excess" and "compulsory excess". They all add both.

    In the end we went with ... the bricks and mortar broker we have been using for about six years 'cos they were £2 cheaper than the cheapest on-line one. As they always are.

    Motaquote in Windsor Road, Neath.

    These online sites must be making money hand over fist.

    MoneySavingExpert.com has some good advice on this, and suggests combining the results from MoneySupermarket and GoCompare to get a broad selection of quotes.

    I've tried a few but found Direct Line was cheaper than the 95% of the market the comparison sites claim to cover, I had to get a quote as a new customer though as they did try to bump it up.
