Hi,
I used comparethemarket.com this month and saved £70 on the renewal from the club scheme who I have been using with exactly the same cover- it was with Swinton Insurance who are doing a cash back offer at the mo - you have to wait 3 months for the cash back cheque but still a good deal, try it and see how it compares. I fullly support the club scheme but £70 off a £220 yearly cost is a lot of money to save at the mo.

Regards

Andy

A lot of people have points nowadays, the insurers aren't too fussed as in the past.

Try insuring it as a classic or on a limited miles policy if you don't use the car much.

My 240 2.3 turbo costs me £300 a year with Adrian Flux with 3 points, the turbo and suspension declared and 5 years no claims, (modified car insurance) I'm 33 now though.

However, I just got a metro 1.0 and for some reason, that is costing £270 (holds hands up and shrugs)

If by 'the club scheme' you mean Chris Knott then be aware that even in the club scheme you must be 25 or over.
