Okay so a bit of a long post but bear with me.
Basically the entire insurance thing seems confusing. I go on a price comparison site and check out a car I found, the insurance prices come up at somewhere around £2k. this is for a 1.6 litre engine car. I change the car to a 1.4 litre engine the price goes down to £1.6k ish. But here is the confusing part, I change the car again for the third time to a 1.2l model and the price for the insurance is £1.8k. So what is going on? I thought having a smaller engine would lower the premium?
The other thing I want to ask is, how the hell do people find cheap insurance? I'v read that some people have had premiums of £1k and so on, but the lowest I ever found was £1.4k so am I doing something differently? I know the area that one lives in can affect premiums and so on, but I see nothing wrong with the area i'm in.
Incase you guys want to know, I'm a new driver (21 in may), just passed my driving test 3 weeks ago (this is something they also ask about when your looking for insurance, that is how long have you held your driving license for).
So any ideas? Also anyone got any tips on how they got insured for their first car? I asked a couple of my friends and most of them have had block boxes fited to the car so is that a route i'm most likely going to be taking too? Alot of people have been advising me against black box insurance tho for some reason.
Thanks!
