try the website www.confused.com - they get quotes from loads of insurance companies for you. I cut the cost of my insurance in half by using them.

Everyone's circumstances are different but Elephant were cheapest for me. Worth a try.

My 20 year old son is with NU for his Corsa at about the same price as you have been quoted. They were the cheapest we found.
They were even prepared to cover him for Sioban's "S".... for an extra £500....I think not!

Around £400 fully comp for my cooper.

Thanks for all your help folks, i settled for NU, seemed cheap enough. :D
GAJ, you checked your policy with Elephant.... Someone on Mini2 was saying how they will only insure your car as a standard car, and their deffinition of standard is base model not sure what extras you have on your car but check the thread and see if its applicable... (just incase if you know what i mean)

you could always try Adrian flux too... they're more for modified vehicles but they've been the cheapest for me a couple of times...
or Admiral... same company as Elephant... but you can pay by instalments... ;)

Yes thanks for the warning. My insurers are aware of the spec of my car and I keep them informed of any mods;)
You don't want to give them any excuse not to pay out. Dodgy geezers, insurers:eek:
