It's insurance time (well almost) so I thought I'd get some quotes for SWMBO's 1.2 Fiat Piunto SX 60, 60 BHP, Top speed of approx 75 (well I decided not to chance it rattling itself to bits at anything greater than that) - lovely little car in a nice silver colour.

Anyway, I went to Compare Meerkats and got some quotes back..

Scrolling down the page, I say this one.. Although £450 excess seems a lot...

Can anyone beat that?

seems like a good deal.

have you signed up yet ?

are you sure you didnt click on the veyron box instead of punto

and they wonder why people drive with no insurance, until fines for not having it are that high and the give SENSIBLE qoutes it will continue!

seems like a good deal.

She drives it like it's a Veyron

Seriously - That quote is 50+ times the market value of the car. Why not just say "Decline to quote", instead of issuing stupid quotes that can only serve to hurt the insurance company and industry as a whole.

"Reasonable Insurance Quote".....isn't that what's known as an oxymoron??

Insurance is just a very expensive minefield (as in if you step on a mine, not only does it blow you to pieces, but you then have to pay for the privilege of being blown up!) and there often seems to be little rhyme or reason to the prices they charge. The only thing I can recommend is to shop around - and don't just use one comparison site, use several as some insurance companies are only affiliated with a particular comparison site and so won't appear on other ones.

Good luck!

This is not an regular quote - the best one so far is about £650, they average around the £1K mark.. so £18K just seems complete unreasonable.

On a better note, try admiral on a multi-car quote....

Saved me over a £100 pounds last november on my car, around £40 on my wife's and around £50 on my old's (who's car lives at our address)

The missus is with Diamond (which are owned by Admiral) so when I phoned them they quoted me a really great deal - saving about 600 nicker on both cars with Fully Comp + Business Use for both of us and named drivers across each vehicle.

No chance of that being beaten - so when my insurance is up - I'm going with them and adding her car on the week later.
