Raniator - have you used quidco? it says 75 quid cash back on co-operative insurance...
how do you get the money back?

I used Elephant back when I had a car, annoyingly - only because their bloody ads were foremost in mind when I scooted around for quotes. Didn't have any problems - I think they're just a search broker for other, 'real' insurance brands.

im with elephant,
good and cheap. foreign call centers though.
and over the past few weeks ive been phoning to tell them ive made slight changes and each time the bastards charge me £14 to send out a new certificate.
another £14 today as i'll be phoning and telling them ive put on aftermarket exhaust and suspension.go to one of the comparing sites.
somew of the quotes i got on there were a good bit cheaper than elephantkezza, thats what i am about a year.
one of the ones on compare site was like 365- Really?! True about the forin call centres, but I never had to pay for certificate reissues. That's a bit shitty.Nairn

I guess it all depends where you live, elephant was the cheapest by far.
So many determining factors... Elephant, shelias Wheels, etc etc, they are all cheap.

Plus they were the cheapest

theres lots of daft factors that'll affect your quote
when i stayed in north fife i used to pay more than people a few miles down the road cos our postcode came under dundee's postcodes.interestingly - when iwas looking at quotes a month or two ago, when you were clicking options like "tinted windows" thats not a feature thats going to bump up insurance, its seen as a security feature so may take your quote down.

norwich union are cheapest I've always found. However it can depend on what kind of car vs insurance company... rates vary so much they are cheap on some cars but not on others. I don't drive but thats the word on the street.
