Joe67 239 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 try adrian flux, can get discount if your member of a owners club. say you only do about 5000 miles a year. some owners clubs even have discount insurance arranged for members, plus you get disocount on parts etc and tech help another option would be to get someome with more driving experience to be policy holder and add you as a named driver, some companys even give the named driver a year no claims when policy is finished. pitty you didnt own the car longer, always see a big difference in the price on go compare when you say have owned car longer if you try go compare try full comp and third party fire and theft edit: cis think it was lol. used to be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

higgins 75 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 do an individual search don t go through search engine compilations and prune everything back to keep your premiums down i.e pay more on your excess etc.. good luck also consider a tagging option where they can track your time and mileage.
