can any1 recommend a good place to get car insurance???

i've had a look on the net but they r a bit crap

i only need something 3rd party only cos i'm learnin...i got a quote a few months ago for about £300 which was the cheapest i could find but now i've lost it:S :axe: :S

i've tried the ones that r only for women but they r quite expensive:( until i actually pass my test then the price comes down

any help would be great cos i wanna drive TODAY...NOW!!!!!!!!!

Try Wilsons in Manchester, I used to work for em and they were always cheap yet good service.

It was a few years back now though but Might be worth a go. Ask 192 for 'Wilsons Insurance in Manchester',

I'll see if I can think of any other decent ones for ya.

i think it comes down to what it is that you're trying to insure. my sis works for swinton insurance and the best they could do for me was circa £1700! (including the family discount)

if u want a first time quote that doesn't knock the wind out of you then you might have to treat yourself to a 900cc fiesta or summat :p

my dad just gave me his 1.1fiesta so i dont think it should be too high to insure but i need to keep the car after i pass my test...then i will insure it fully comp, which means i can drive other cars(i think)..cos i got a pug 1.9gti which is about £1800 to insure but ste will insure it in his name so i can drive it!!! ta da!!!

but thanks for the help every1...i shall get myself insurance hopefully?!?!?!?!

AAHHHHHH:mad: :mad: :mad:

hardly any of the on-line quote things will quote me on a provisional!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

i will have to just phone them all...

"we won't insure you cos you should have got off your backside wen u were 17 and insurance was much easier to get...and cheaper..haha...pay the price"

i've just got a quote from elephant.co.uk with the car in my dad's name and then me added to it...they want £619 third party only which is loads higher than the quote my dad got a while back, we're just trying to remember were we got it from now:axe: :axe: :axe:

i'm gonna have to just get some lessons i think...but cos i'm a nervous wreck the instructors always pick up on it and say i need tons of lessons(not being big headed but i know i don't need that many)

but i might book some lessons cos i saw a company the other day that use brand new mini's!!!!!:D :D :D

Up North, pint o tetley
it really does depend on your requirements

mine was for a fiesta

i've had 2 smashes and swinton/insure.co.uk where defo the best
shaving a grand off ford's own insurance, and many others

go for the broker companies

who search other insurance co's
like that insure .co.uk search 40/50 brokers

as does www.budget.co.uk / elephant.co.uk

and many others
