Car Insurance

[alnmr]

Does anyone have any recommendations for car insurance? Looking for an affordable option for a small car. We're lucky enough to have off-road parking but everything still seems really expensive.

I have a Micra. I went with Direct Line this time, having been with another company for some years.

In past years I got several slightly lower quotes, but I stuck with who I was with because of their good customer service.

I went on to all the comparison sites this time, but if memory serves Direct Line aren't on them. I think I heard about them via the Money Saving Expert site which said you had to go to them directly for a quote, which I did. I think that must have been online too, but I can't remember now.

Obviously the proof will be in the pudding if I have to make a claim (which I sincerely hope I won't have to) but my premium is very considerably less than I was paying before.

Definitely worth getting a quote and checking them out and see what you think.

Really helpful, thanks! We will definitely check out Direct Line.

Yes, the moneysavingexpert site is very good for many things.

I always check it out first for anything financial.

Obviously a lot is common sense, but it's good to be reminded of common sense things as well :)

When you have a quote from Direct Line, (and maybe other quotes), you can always go back to your present insurance company and try to get them to match it.

I've had limited success with that, in that they've brought their original quote down a bit, but not much.

Last time, the difference in the premiums was so big that I switched, though.
