AON £550 per year for me as main driver and Mac as a 2nd driver.

They will definately insure under 30 year olds and I can prove it. :lol:

Worth a chance.

AON = bunch of tossers.
Passed about from person to person only be told that they can't insure me on a '2nd car' policy cos I'm under 30 then after a few more questions that they won't insure me at all becuase I'm under 30.
Not gonna waste my time with them again.

Si, play Elephant and Admiral off each other - good fun and works :)

Also try that thing whereby you do an online quote with your details, then go back, and change only your name. Sometimes it fires out a different figure and increases your bargaining power :)

I tried that but it didn't work. Admiral were cheaper than Elephant and Elephant said they wouldn't price match. Tried my best to haggle. Still got a good deal from Admiral though (putting my mum on as an additional driver reduced it dramatically!).

is that so Dezzy? I simply enquired how the same company could possibly offer 2 different quotes, and that did the trick. May have changed now, as this was back in April.

i used to have my brothers gf on my insurance which saved me £100 but when i turned 25 she raised the premium by £90 :scratch so took her off, tesco is still by far the cheapest for me, beats elephant by over £700 and they wouldnt haggle.

Just tried then, £649 including mods and windscreen cover. It's the best so far so I may well go with them too.
The guy I spoke to is actually thinking about buying an Elise so he was asking loads of questions about it :lol:
