Looking For Cheaper Car Insurance Quotes?

I am trying to beat my best quote so far and I wanted to ask if anyone knew of anyone I could try or some brokers who could get the price down a bit for me. Here are my circumstances. 18 years old Full licence for 9 months 0 NCB Live in east sussex no claims or convictions car is kept in a locked garage looking for upto 4000 annual mileage will be using car for pleasure and commuting My car is an Renault megane coupe 1.6e sport My best quote so far I got from moneysupermarket which is £1560 and that was from swinton. I just wanted to ask If their was anyone I could try, like good brokers who might be able to get that quote down a bit. I am really looking at no more than £1400 . It doesn't matter how big or small they are I will give anyone a try. I have tried most of the major companies but none of them come close to my best quote so far. Also is it worth putting my best quote down when filling in online forms. Does it make any difference?

try Tesco car Insurance
Yes, try putting your best quote down, it may work, but I get the best results by Phoning, because you can usually talk the price down better when speaking to a "real" person, also have you tried Hastings, 0800001066, they do a good quote.
When I was a teenager Endsleigh specialized in cheap insurance for young people. Worth a go, I guess. http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/
You could try AA car insurance. I use them they search through loads of different insurance companies to find the cheapest one. Also maybe try elaphant.co.uk and confused.com.
Hi, I used to search for a cheap car insurance that would my budget, so i suggest you should also search over the net and ask for car insurance qoutes, 5 - 10 quotes will do, and you compare it yourself and see what car insurance company offers you a cheap insurance... You can try this this site for your search and hopefully it will help you too as it helped me before.. http://www.nightbirdssolutions.com/ I just want to point out that a cheap car insurance dont mean the best and suitable car insurance that you need. Im not recommending any car insurance company just have youre search and evaluate yourself and in the future it will make you a wiser and smarted car insurance buyer... Also for your renault car insurance visit this link to... http://www.nightbirdssolutions.com/renault-car-insurance-listings.htm
have you tried confused.com? they search lots of different insurance companies
My son went with Elephant.co it was the cheapest and you earn 1 yrs no claims every 10months. Could a parent not insure with you as a named driver?
check out globalwideinsurance. com
At 18 and a new driver, you have done about the best you can hope for.

Try www.confused.com If you're not bothered about claims service, just cheap and legal cover, Tesco's might be OK, but I have heard some horror stories. In my experience though, anything under £2000 for a 18 year old male in anything more powerful than a food mixer is a bloody good deal!
Have a look at www.biba.org.uk for a local insurance broker in East Sussex and then pop in and see them! Face to face contact is even better than the phone. Avoid the Swinton's and Budgets and the AA unless you want to pay an arm and a leg if you ever make any changes to or cancel your policy
The moneysupermarket is one of the best sites so it could be hard to beat that quote. If you really need to save money go back on their site and see if can be named driver on your mum/dads policy, that might bring it down if saving money is your main aim.
A couple of quick tips for bringing down your quote are: 1. get an experienced driver to go on the policy as a named driver (but not to 'front' the policy for you, with you as a named driver). Don't ask me why that works, but apparently it sometimes does. 2. take the Pass Plus test. It'll cost around £100, your local council might subsidise that though, but even if not the discount some insurers will give you will make it worthwhile. See here: http://www.passplus.org.uk/insurers.asp 3. Slap as many security devices as you can on the car, like an approved steering wheel bar or cover. Presuming it already has an alarm / immobiliser. Also there are two specialist insurers you can try: Adrian Flux, for 'high risk' drivers at http://www.adrianflux.co.uk and Bell Direct for drivers with zero NCB at http://www.bell.co.uk Finally, see if you can play a couple of insurers off against each other, taking one's best offer to the other and finally offering to 'buy right now' for a further discount once one won't go any lower.
