Hi
Steve, I went online for a quote last year with Direct line, but they weren't that competive for me. I usually go through the yellow pages, or online for quotes. Abbey National have been the cheapest for the last two years - maybe as i have my mortgage with them.
NotoriousREV - You were very lucky not to have a crash. I think i'll avoid Budget in future!
brn7y - I've never tried Bell direct - I will ring them in June when my renewal is due. Seems a good price.
Co-incidentally, I was paying a similar price (£450, protected ncb, low excess, with Admiral) 3 years ago, until I bought a brand new house, which insurance companies place a high risk on, due to the lack of claims experience. This should reduce after a few years, but this don't seem fair to me. The speeding didn't help either.
