Going with online quotes I found Admiral and Bell the best for me (20 with 0NCB). Actually I think Admiral and Bell are pretty much the same, exactly the same online questions, just different web page colour!! Quotes were like 3 quid apart too.

Bell and Elepahnt are both owned by Admiral.

Admiral/Elephant/Bell get a good vote for me too, looking at Primera GT, Mondeo ST24, both ~£900 comp (20, 1 previous claim, 0NCD)

Allegedly they're awful.

Bear in mind, cheapest isn't always best...

You do, if you need to change cars or something midway through?

tbh I would only go with quinn if I had a pos and for the first two or three years whilst I am really getting to learn how to drive properly I will only have pos' so I cant see it being a problem.

I'll remind you of that quote when you can't get hold of them to make a change to your policy

Been with Quinn for ages, no problems to report.

Endsleigh are good if you are a student (6th form or uni), paid £700 TPFT for my 1.6 306 at 17(though this was 3 years ago now).

I have also just found the RAC to be silly cheap for my current car, but not sure how they are if you are young.

RAC were the cheapest by a clear £1600 for me.

The woman in the Endsleigh shop laughed at me when I went for a quote

On both my Astra and Audi, Admiral haven't been able to touch NUD (Who I am with now) with a bargepole. When dad got a quote they were a rip off for him too.

Elephant were cheapest for me followed by Admiral.

But tbh, phone/quote online all of the ones in the STICKY. :rolleyes:

*sigh*, i know theres a bloody sticky there ive been told that once, and once again the purpose of this thread was to narrow down a few companys :rolleyes:

I used a broker, can't complain at £900 fully comp of a 1.8 mondeo with no NBC at 17.

I think thats Norwich Union, and also bear in mind I have a good post code.
