Car insurance advice

I passed my test a couple of weeks ago and got my car last week, I’m currently insured with Hastings with a black box policy. I think they are ok but I just really dont want a black box but needed to get insured quickly so I could drive my car home and so went for them.
I don’t mind paying extra for insurance without a black box but I can’t find any companies besides admiral which are now no longer showing me quotes for some reason that are not extortionately overpriced. Can anyone explain either how to be able to get quotes again from admiral or recommend any other companies without a black box.
Thank you :smile:

Your insurance contract will probably be for the whole year and they will charge you if you try and end it early btw.

Try the usual comparison sites (compare the market, go compare, money supermarket etc). They will show you all sorts of companies. Also try direct line and aviva which arent on comparison sites.
Try all the usual stuff like adding your parents as named drivers on your policy etc.
