    There isn't usually one company that's cheaper across the board unfortunately, but Allianz seem to be pretty aggressive (in a good way) with gaining new customers at the moment, best thing is to ring some brokers, and try companies direct. It's a slog, but there's no easy way to do it. Premiums from the same insurance company will vary depending on who's selling them (broker, website, direct)

    Thank you for your reply..i've been getting car insurance quotes online and they allll vary from 500 quid to 1000!!! I suppose 500 euro's isn't too bad for a new car and fully comp. I've always paid around 300 quid for insurance on my old car.

    €500 is very good, I know nobody who has got a quote below €500 this year, some of them were getting quotes of €350-€400 last year.

    Do you currently hold an insurance policy?

    Go with one of the quotes you have got already. It's impossible to find anything below 500 these days.
    Read the thread "Insurance - tell us your quotes/ renewals"
