Have I read that wrong but does it say the girl from Worcester was paying £600 per month! That's £7200 per year.

I suspect rank poor journalism.

well,old helps but also it pays to show no loyalty to insurance companies too..the moment the premiums creep it's time to ditch and switch.......

Regarding the old the daughter is getting quotes for her 2nd year at £900 per year,i know insurance has gone up in the past year,but before we got her on the road all i was hearing was horror stories of £3000 to £5000 PA.....so shopping is helpful.

Have you had a black box fitted as these bring down young drivers' insurance significantly

It helps to add you and your wife as named drivers too (assuming you both have clean licences).

'Watch Your Car Mate'
Sat in the Burton Albion car park, on the grass bank, a Merc pulled up in front of us. Laughingly I shouted 'Watch your car for £20' but the guy was not amused. As he walked off some fans were getting selfies with him. Matt Palmer, Burton number 16.

When I moved back south from Liverpool, I made massive savings on all types of insurance. Sadly but obviously, Liverpool is always going to be more costly in terms of insurance than Eastbourne.

I have been quoted between £160 and £220 renewal for an old car although I live out in the sticks these days. Liverpool is no worse really than other big cities for car crime these days overall although there still are some disaster areas - even parts of Toxteth are quite nice these days although I wouldn't want to move back. The city was always more expensive though than the surrounds.

As far as I'm concerned scousers get an undeserved bad press, never been treated anything other than really well up there, top, top people.

Yes, it's true, most scousers are very decent folks.
