Yes this. ^
Try Adelaide just got my insurance last night for my Mondeo for £200!
Find the best off a screen scraper and ring them up and explain you’ve been a named driver. Or ring your wifes insurer and see if they’ll give you a matching bonus. Chances are they’ll match it, but you will have to call rather than talk to a computer.
Adelaide definitely, car £240 and bike £170 for me 
All Adelaide do is ask you your renewal then knock of 20 quid , problem was in my case I had already knocked 50 quid off … so lesson is don’t ■■■■■■■■ ya quote to them
Adelaide gave me 945 and they calling me back tomorrow, still a lot more than the cars worth. I only bought it to go work and playing off road. Il try wifes insurance tomorrow and see what they can offer, cheers lads
Lots of companies will give you an introductory one years NCB if you phone them and ask, that’s 35% normally. Just spend a couple of hours making phone calls.
There is something wrong with the whole insurance system when the premium is higher than the value of the vehicle.
I take it you live in an above average risk area

They went in and checked what I had said on a comparison site was accurate then gave me a price. But I still feel the policy benefits are greater.

You wouldn’t say that if some kid in a £200 Vectra with no insurance wrote your new Bentley GTCV8 off, & that’s why insurance can be 10 or more times the price of the car, a 1 ton scrap heap of a car can do a lot of very expensive damage which simply isn’t limited to the value of said ‘scrapper’.

Ross.
exactly, the value of the car is a tiny % of what they are insuring you for
Who do you work for then dar?
I fancy a job there if you can afford a new Bentley

That plus the “injury” claims, property damage, recovery costs, hire vehicles etc etc
We had an 800 quid car written off, parked outside our house on a Saturday. Coppers came, all good. By Monday lunch the other parties insurance had conceded 100% liability and we had a nice new hire car 
It took 9 weeks for it all to be sorted, my cheque and the car picked up
9 weeks of hire car over an 800 quid ■■■■ easy, 100% admitted, no injury claim 
That’s most of the reason it’s so expensive. To much [zb]ing about and too many layers of people involved
Live in Burnley which is classed high risk, limited mileage upto 3000 and locked overnight in the garage. I was paying 900 at 20 with a ■■■■■■ 18si with bodykit ss exhaust chipped 17’s and 2k stereo (miss them days). Only a few year ago i had a focus st and that was 1200. No wonder people dont bother and risk 8 points and £200 fine its a lot cheaper
