 My car insurance is now up for renewal after having previously been on Mum's policy after Dad died and left the vehicle to me. In my name aviva are saying I need to pay £800 a year!!
I am 35, 6 years no claims, car is worth about £1500 so I don't get it!!
It's a Nissan terrano turbo diesel import,automatic but to top it all none of the online quote sites recognise it from the reg number!! Any advice appreciated as no way can I afford £77 per month as I not even started at new job yet!!

Is this the first year you have had your own policy/
If so then it is high because of this....if not then go on go compare.com to see if you can get it cheaper...even try upping your access to get the amount down. |

I did one of those "compare the market" things, tho not sure it was that exact one... I ended up with Swinton Insurance and they were spot on when I needed my windscreen replacing, and it was done within a day.... I have re-newed this year also as they were so good... good luck with your search. The internet is deff the best place to look I think.
..... and on similar lines, I have just had to re-new my pet insurance for my cat and dog. I had a renewal quote from the company I was insured with and when I went on line, it was much cheeper again... nearly £1.50 a month cheaper per animal. I know its not a lot but for the same policy taken out on line, I would rather the money be in my pocket! All I had to do was overlap the start of the insurance onto the beginning of my old one, so my pets were always covered. - just thought I would say to see if anyone else would benefit!!... can you tell I spend too much time surfing??!!!  |

Either try the internet or do you have an insurance brokers in your nearest town that can search for the best quote for you? - they might be able to help if the internet sites aren't recognising your number plate.

Hi - don't mean to hijack your post but I've got 2 dogs insured with Healthy Pets for £12.90 a month for the both Plus they were really nice and paid out vets fees when I lost one of my girls after only having the insurance for 10days
Maybe this needs a seperate post - aplogies again

| I googled "compare car insurance premiums" and came up with a site that saved me nearly £300 on the price the AA as brokers had quoted me. |

thanks everyone! been trawling the web loads and then spoke to a friend who used to drive for Dad when he had the lorries. His friend has just insured the same car as mine (although not an import) for £195. He's a year older than me with 6 points so I'll try them tomorrow.Oh ,them being Direct Line!!
And I have had my own insurance before on all the cars I've had except when I've been carless but could borrow Mums |
