Having just recently purchased a R reg. 1.8 GS Carina E I would be interested in getting suggestions of Insurance companies that members have found give a good deal on insurance.

Thank You

Erm... that is entirley dependent on your circumstances...

e.g. age/location/mileage/modifications....

If you give us some information we can point you to few that would be most suited to you...

It is 6 years old/covering 10000 miles a year/Glasgow area/ no modifications/myself (with 5+years protected no claims)and son aged 23 with clean full licence for just over a year to drive. Hope this is of use.

I'm with Tesco car insurance. Check out www.tesco.com.

Am V pleased. You get guaranteed courtesy car too. Am only 25 myself, so the right insurer is important. I have full no claims etc.

Tesco and Direct Line are the same company.

Try http://www.confused.com/

Enter your details - they search all the big insurance names then send you an e mail listing each company and their quote.

No obligation. No human contact.

How come it was cheaper to go with tesc than direct line then for me? They're funny people you know, insurers. :lol:

Well Tesco and Direct Line are not actually the same company. What happens is that if you use Tesco they act as a sort of 'middle man' - all the insurance side of it is taken care of by Direct Line but it is 'branded' as a Tesco product. It's like my Mortgage which is a Virgin one. Everything is branded 'Virgin' (statements, letters etc.) but I actually have a Mortgage with Royal Bank of Scotland.

Back to the topic . . why quotes should be different between Tesco and Direct Line I don't know but as you say Insurers are funny people.

Want proof they are thieving :censor: - when you get your renewal phone your insurer and pose as a new customer and ask them to beat the best quote you have (theirs !) and they will.

Then when you tell them you want to take up the quote and they start entering your details and learn that you are an existing customer they will not honour the quote.

By the way there are a couple of threads on LOC from people who have had problems with Tesco / Direct Line. Can't remember all the details but I think it was a serious smash in an IS200 and the insurer didn't want to write the car off as they could get it repaired cheaply but not to Lex standards which would invalidate the warranty etc. Anyway might be worth a search
