car insurance help

hi

ive got my prudential car insurance up for renewel soon and was shocked to find that it has jumped up £250 taking it to £694.

This is full cover with 8 years no claims , i did ring to see if thet could match better quotes ive found but they could only knock off about £30 :confused:

.

really anoying when ive been with them since getting my driving licence , im 25 and got a good quote with admiral but im unsure about them?

Does anyone know any good companys that give cheap quotes but also offer good customer service and UK call centres?

thanks

I find Priviledge pretty good but that may be an over 30 thing.

Also, if you are shacked up, try getting a quote with your OH on.

My insurance is 80 quid cheaper with my OH on.

Direct line gave me a really good deal, although it was fully comp and TPFT was more expensive...go figure

best ive got is admiral so far , direct line were £600 plus, just shows how much the insurance has gone up this year

will check the others thanks everyone

Agree with the Direct Line suggestions they were definitely the cheapest when I was looking to get insured. Although £1600 on insuring a first car was lame. Especially since this was more than the car itself and was the cheapest quote I got!! :mad:

Swiftcover have UK call centres.

beachBOYken · 28 Feb 2010 at 11:52

they all seem to be about the same and when i add no claims protection that bumps it up another £70

at present it looks as if admiral are the best bet?

Admiral was the best I could find last year with my renewal offer. Nothing else came close. I'll be doing it all again next month too, soul destroying phone calls!

EUI, which encompasses Admiral, Elephant, Diamond and Bell, are in my experience one of the easiest and quickest insurance companies to work with (this is talking as a repairer), and this really does fall through to their customer service too. I'm insured with Elephant, and *touches wood* haven't had to make a claim, but based on my contact with them through work, they should be brilliant.

I'm not sure about sales, but everything else is.

Not UK call centres though and as Norwich Union the customer service was crap. Bad enough that I'll never use them again.

Myself and a few friends use Bell, very cheap if you add your folks

Use the job tweaker

Then use go compare and money supermarket

Just hammer through them in 5 minutes, untick the marketting things though, or you'll get people calling you up

I'm with Admiral/Elephant, Uk call centres, I like them.

What car is it?
