    Who's currently the most competitive out there? Is it worth trying the compare sites or just go straight direct to the insurance companies

    I always use the comparison sites, car used to be with Elephant , but now with Sheila`s wheels. One that got me,was when the Blade was up for renewal, i went on the comparison sites & the best price i could get was with the company who i was currently with MCD( £305 fully comp). They sent to me a renewal letter to say that my my insurance was nearly up & they would have great pleasure in charginig me £ 610 to renew. When i phoned to ask why the difference, i was told to buy off the internet, work that out........

    It all depends what sort of car you drive.

    Every insurance company specialise in certain cars sports/MPV etc and price accordingly.

    Try Tesco/Admiral/Elephant etc along with the compare websites

    I do feel for you younger guys when this subject comes up. The ridiculous sums the insurance companies demand from you is nothing short of extortion. Cheap insurance isn't much of a compensation for getting older, but it still counts.
