    Hi

    I usually shop around every year for insurance quotes, so far I just checked a few of the main ones I've been with before. Can anyone recommend a company that they found great this year? I'm 33 year old female with 13 years on my own fully comp policy, clean licence and full NCB protection.. my quote this year was 555e

    Any info or recommendations would be really appreciated

    Thanks :)

    Hi, thanks for your reply.. I was with its4women for a few years but last year Aviva really undercut them.. there are so many companies out there now to get quotes from.. I guess I'll have to just try a few more of the big names 😊

    Try adding someone to your quote, parent, partner.

    Final suggestion try an independent broker, sometimes they can find a better deal than you can yourself.

    When I was renewing I tried all the big companies and then tried the brokers. All the brokers made the call them back. When I called one and gave my reg there was a sharp intake of breath from the broker and they said
    "3.5 litre that'll be expensive". Ended up with a big company.

    The only real way to get the best deal is contact all the companies listed in the sticky and compare packages. I noticed that most companies are now doing the Ryanair way and charging for what used to be standard features.
