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.

Yes Pete. don't worry, I won't leave you.

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.

Thanks for all the suggestions
(To Killerwatt - i tried moneysupermarket but will look at the other comparison sites too)

I will be looking at these over the next few days

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
