I am looking to renew my dads insurance - he drives under 2,000 miles / yr, 10yrs ncd, no convictions yet still i'm getting around £250 fully comp. with protected ncd. Car is '02 plate Astra 1.6 auto.
Can anyone suggest where I could get a cheaper price as i've looked at tesco, direct line, rias, swinton, swift and god knows how many others?
-
The price you pay is dictated by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) postcode, garaged or not, make & model (unfortunately, Astra's are popular with TWOC'rs), and a whole host of other variables.
I'm guessing you've tried the various comparison sites?

zurich-connect.co.uk blew everyone else out of the water for the wifes recently,under 10k a year 10 years no claims etc.
Finally got to ditch those thieves at aa car insurance who stitched us up on renewal last year and tried it again this year.
i think protected no claims added £8 to the total. Oh and nearly always a named driver wife/brother/friend will reduce the premium so long as they have a clean licence and are a normal risk.

maybe this will help ;D ;D ;D

You are always better off jumping companies - all mine charged more every year so i went to another company and got a cheaper deal, but the "ex" companies actually had the cheek to ring me up and ask "why...?" ::)

Having two drivers means it not you driving all the time, therefore the risk you present is reduced.

I am with Zurich as well and no-one could come anywhere near them! £346 Full Comp for my 05 plate 7 series. Beat that.

Update: I ended up renewing for 180 from LV via confused.com (I tried them direct and their quote was 220)
A Big Thanks to all for their advice :y

your ocupation has a strange affect on the premium.
i dont work as such as i have to care for mrs as she had a bad mental breakdown
and found out once they put you down as a carer non professional you get quite a discout
when i changed insurance the new company
put it down by mistake a care taker
and it come out ridiculously cheap so i kept it shut
as they would have a problem saying i made that up as i told em i was a carer and i do take care of someone lol
