Agreed.
NP I know its hard to fathom who your dealing with online & if they are genuine or not right!Oh sorry I just understood that you were driving in another country and moved here
It would invalidate the insurance anyway why bother to save a few pounds!
Its a joke oh well what can you do I managed to get some decent quotes now even for a BMW 2.5 M Sport with 192 BHP I can get well under a grand for full comp on my details which is not too bad!
You have got to shop around.
I insure the Ferrari with ManningUK, including EU and track cover, £850 fully comp
The other 5 cars are on a fleet policy which cost £1700 fully comp and covers me fully comp to drive any other vehicle worth upto 150k.
But without shopping around that could easily be £5000 plus a year, whereas I pay around £2500 for them all and have better cover and more flexible cover too.

£297 fully comp for me and MrsHB on our car with direct line. Can’t say fairer than that.
At 19 on my first car (Austin Metro 1.0) I was paying £1900TPF&T.
I passed my test in Dec 96.

Try a different postcode
I worked with a guy who used to insure it from his parent's address who were something like 40 miles away. For the 1/4 price premiums lol
My car insurance came down significantly when I added my wife as a second driver. Same when my sister added her boyfriend as a second driver - she got a partial refund mid-term for adding him.
Do you know anyone who might want to drive the car from time to time who you could add to the insurance?

Car insurers have departments to validate address information so laughing all the way until you get your insurance invalidated.
so if the car got stolen from a different address would that make it invalid ?
or does the car have to be at the named address every night ?
How is that relevent to the scenario Nasher posted about and you clearly approved of?
I guess if the car is also registered to that address it won't look dodgy.
exactly the registered address is irrelevant, if that were the case you would only be insured on your drive.
You're asked to provide your address for insurance purposes with the option to give details if the car is kept elsewhere. Giving an incorrect address, even if it's the address the car is registered at, could invalidate your policy.
Clearly we both know a car is covered when off your drive. The problem comes when you've insured it based on the address of a drive 40 miles away.
Exactly
That's exactly what i mean..
The registered address is irrelevant we all travel and stay over
