First car - narrowed it down to 2

I just did a quote with Elephant, using all the details he provided us, on a 2007 Corsa SXI CDTI 1.7, applied the tips I put in my earlier post and that was the result. No lies, no jiggery pokery, no mistruths.

The only different element is I did it in a slightly worse C rated postcode, not a B rated that he's in.

You haven't. You've changed things. I put in all my information and elephant quote me at £3669. The quotes above can't be accurate information. I'm putting the car as on the drive/road (trying both), my license as being held for 1 month, additional driver with NCB, remove the fact I'm a student. TPFT cover. There's no way the quote above are accurate information.

I think you're doing it wrong!

Or fully comp?

That's just a random Compare The Market quote using your basic details.

Admiral/Elephant are the £3k quotes. Unless the £1k quotes don't have a limited mileage policy on them they seem good!

There is something you aren't telling us then, as honest to God, I did that quote according to the information given in this thread at the time.

I'm only trying to save you money here, if you don't want the help feel free to say so and i'll go do something else with my evening rather than have someone i'm trying to do a favour essentially call me a liar.
 
Okay, I'll fill out each page, and take a screenshot of it. Then you can have a look at everything I'm putting in and tell me what you've put in different.
 
Fox just pointed out to me the age would be different, I put in 24 based on you saying you were a mature student, if you're actually 21 it will raise a bit but I can't see it going from £1200 to £3800 on just that basis.
 
What sort of mileage are you going to be doing OP? I went with 8,000 a year which is a reasonable estimate for the average new driver.

Fundamental lack of understanding? You mean the assumption that a locked garage is less of a risk than a road side where it can get scraped by other cars and vandalised?

How does where you live not matter? You're postcode is where you live. It tells them if you live in a bad area/crime area etc. - which as I said, it's a quiet estate in a quiet town.

As for the garge, try it. Quoting for a locked garage is usually more expensive than on the road. We've had this debate many times before.

*edit* didn't see page 2. Nevermind, already beaten to it.

why are you being so evasive about what the first half of your postcode is ?

We're not asking for your full postcode so we can come and track you down, only the first half, eg OL1 to assess the risk in your area which might go somewhat to explain why your quotes are so high.

I don't think I've got anything too outrageously wrong there? You'll come along and tell me your estimated mileage is 50,000 or something equally outlandish now I expect :p
 
Why do people never seem to take advise / constructive criticism well in here? I love it, much entertainment!

its human nature not to take if we're sure we're right.

We've all had arguments with our mates down the pub etc.. 100 % sure we're correct, only then to be prooved wrong later. This is no different.
