Via Bennetts of course, if someone claiming to be a broker initiates contact with you and offers you cover, hang up and scream for a grown up. I guess if you use Failbook and such, you should watch out for it as well.

I'd bet the callers have an 'accent'. /mpd72

Well, the 'genuine' ones have been ramping up the prices gradually year by year. At 19 my first car cost me 600 to insure
for the first year (Mark 2 Escort I gave 400 quid for). A mate of mine who is the same age as me only took his test two
years ago, he's been successfully scrounging lifts for over 20 years the git. At age 44 his first years cover on a 2009 1.4
Corsa was in excess of 3k living in semi rural Essex. The industry have made this happen by wringing every penny possible
from the motorist at every possible juncture. 30 quid to change a reg number is my most recent raping, (on a policy that
cost 170 quid in the first place) I never got any new documents, nothing was posted, nothing was printed yet they thought
that charge proportionate. They won't be my insurer next time round, but they don't give a toss the next mug will be
along in a minute as we can't vote with our feet and boycott the whole shizzle because we HAVE to have that cover.

A guy I worked with was moaning about his 3k quote, I asked him what level of cover it was, he said third party. I told him to check fully comp' and he was then quoted a grand Rolling Eyes

I did try and tell him (he's a bass player in a band) that an estate car, maybe a focus estate or similar
would be a cheaper bet insurance wise because old mans car and a more practical choice as he has lots of kit to lug around
when he's gigging. He's not a fast and furious type, his idea of modding a car is putting a musicians union sticker in the rear
window. He lost the plot when I told him how cheap my insurance was after 20+ years of driving, even after my prang last year.
And I really do have a chavvy sporty hatchback. (not a vanilla corsa 1.4)
