Coming to the end of my insurance term with Direct Line and they've sent me my renewal price for the next 12 months.
Last year I paid £624 and this year they want £471 (1 YNCD and £250 excess).
Thinking I could find it cheaper, I phoned around and done loads of online quotes. One insurer wanted £832.89!!
Cheapest I could find were ECar insurance and First Direct, who both quoted £441.
First Direct comes with standard policy excess of £100 and a zero voluntary excess.
ECar comes with £100 standard, £250 voluntary excess but comes with free breakdown cover, which could be useful.
Would I be mad not going for the first Direct policy?
