They were offering 20% when I renewed. Like Jez says, run a quote- they're one of the easier ones to do a quick quote with.
Its just a loan, at 30+%. Dont bother. Credit card it on a 0%'er in the worst case if you cant afford your insurance.
They do quote the exact prices when you get...a quote, though. Why not try checking with them first?
I ran a quote with Bell (my current insurance is with Admiral). It only showed the yearly price and a phone number to call if I wanted to pay monthly. I can't see the monthly price anywhere, hence my post.

Oh, i thought it showed both...best just give them a call
Same, it saved me hundreds of pounds this way.
not all other utility bills/services give you the same price on direct debit to paying it on full and some do it the other way round with somethings aswel *from what i remember* although its a legal requirement to be insured, driving is a luxury (unfortunatly) which is based upon a lot more factors than say what an electricity company would use to work out what they should charge you quarterly
Can you really argue driving is purely a luxury though? Surely this is only the case if we had an infallible public transport system. We don't.

Yes, driving is a luxury. Building your life and making life choices around the ease of access to a car doesn't stop it being a luxury.
It's true that many people could not do their job without a car, or get to work without a car. But they made choices to live where they do and work where they do based on the fact they had access to a car.
People DO live without cars.
yes because not everyone drives, some people drive to work but there is public transport. you wouldnt die if you couldnt drive, it would just be a big inconvience. public transport being rubbish is a problem for councils to sort out not the insurance companies
About 8.5% plus all the APR and charges and stuff.
My £413 premium with Elephant ended up as £491 when paying monthly. That's still only £3 more a month than Quinn* offered me for renewal, but with less excess, a comprehensive policy and to add my girlfriend as a named driver. With the way prices ahve gone up this year, it was about the best deal I found.
*I was also taking the opportunity to jump ship from Quinn, who are not only based in Ireland, but also in administration.

Owning a car is not a legal obligation. Insuring a car that you own is.
It is not a legal obligation to have car insurance, it is a legal obligation to insure your car. Since the car is a luxury, if you cannot afford to insure it, you do not have that luxury.
driving is a luxury
the car is down to personal choice.its the same reason why quite a few young drivers pass their test and then dont drive/buy a car because they cant afford to. i know people who have their piloting license ............ but dont own a plane
