Who's got the cheapest car insurance??

how much do you (those of you who drive) pay for your car insurance??
Where'd you get it from... are you a named driver on someone elses cover or do you have your own!!?

Im trying extremely HARD to find a decent car insurance quote and its just not happening :frown:

My insurance is £600.76 a year, that includes the extra £40 or so for paying by direct debit. I'm currently insured under my mums policy with me listed as a second driver and the car insured for anyother driver. Its with CIS. Next year when I get my new car it will be changed into my name and the premium will go up to ~£760.

Yep, its because all young men are going to drive like theyre an F1 driver and go out and drive into oncoming traffic at 120mph as soon as they pass their test.

fully comp on a 1996 1.4 fiat brava sx costs just under £1400 a year wiht me as the main driver fully comp and that is with a small local insurance group called safron insurance, although they accept pass pluss and will take 30% off my insurance with it, so i will get cheaper insurance still with that. jsut go out and shop arround, try your local insurance groups, some of the small ones offer really good deals.

£612.50 fully comp, 3 years no claims, group 1 car, includes 1 additional driver - me as main driver

That's with Virgin car insurance - they do interest free if you want to pay by installment (presumably subject to status) but I just paid the lot by credit card to get the cashback.
