I was wondering if anyone can help me, I was speaking in 1 of the forums the other day and different people were telling me different prices for insurance,

I just wondered if anyone can tell me details of a cheap insurance company... I am only 20 so plz keep that in mind.

Cheers

The "cheap insurance company" is a myth. You've just got to ring round the lot & see who's best for you... My renewal from direct line was the cheapest by a mile this year!

Look in the "links" section at the top of the page & also bear in mind their policy on mods - direct line for example won't allow any if you're under 25...

It all depends on your circumstances, a company might be cheap for me but not be cheap for you. I mean one company might be cheap for me because of my age (34) but not for you (20) or location etc etc

Confused.com is a good place to start

e-sure were the cheapest for me

I used to be with Peter Best, pretty unbeatable on price, but they have some age restrictions along the lines of 2litres is the maximum engine size for under 25's. (Don't quote me on that, but it's something like that!)

Paying Ԛ£740 now at 25 with 4yrs NCB, car on drive, 5K miles a year.
That's with Flux and all of my extensive list of mods declared :)
