also express's quote must have been stupid, cos they called me just and tried to get me a better one which i wasnt fussed at as they were paying for the call (i hope!)

and they couldnt quite beat tesco, so apparantly gonna try again today and tomorrow and message me the results... cant complain with that service really as they new the just under a grand quote originally was ridiculous squared

Express try hard to beat your other qoutes and to be fair normally do.

Your best bet is to ignore onlin qoute and just ring your favourites and play them off against each other, its normally much cheaper to ring.

I found that Dial Direct were cheap, but excess was high. Plus not the most helpful people to speak to, and that's before a claim!
I tried Swintons, which online were atrocious, but by phone went off to speak to manager and came back with ?410 (Licence since December, no no claims) fully comp, 600 excess. That's for a 2006 SV650Sport (and I like to consider myself young!). The good thing about them is, worst happens, you have a real person to yell at! No hanging up or losing you in transfer!

Make a note of the extras; carol nash might be a bit more, but (at least with my insurance) theres third party on other bikes, breakdown + recovery (UK and europe), up to ?1000 of add ons before decleration, pillion cover. All for ?310 tpft

And maybe something else, i forget

Those still seem relatively high quotes for TPFT. I am currently 19 and pay just over 370, but my bike is still factory standard really. How old are you now if you dont mind me asking???

Dial Direct were a comparison site that gave me the cheapest quote. I think it was with Ha dn R Insurance.

Also try adjusting the mileage up and down. It was cheaper for me to do something like 5000 than 2000 in one of my cars.

Im with direct choice and have been for 4 years. Never beaten thier quote ever!! No one has even come close. (Under £100) Thier claims service is good.
However, i did have my car with them and they couldnt match this years quote with Churchill (Who apprently theya re affiliated with)
