Default Car Insurance with Privilege

I have been ringing around getting quotes on my new demon machine, and Privilege really has come up trumps. They were over 25% cheaper than any nearest rival (Churchill), and I have received quotes from ~50 different insurance companies on this one! I really couldn't believe how much cheaper it was.

Might be worth giving a go if you are coming up to renewal time. They guarantee to beat your current quote, but in my case they have thrashed it!

Yes Ian many times people have said that a certain company was great for them and rubbish for someone else. Thought it was worth mentioning for people, maybe they are not so good at the top end of the insurance scale like the S. After all the quote I got was for a group 11 car not a group 20

check the terms - i was with privilege but when i had a bump found they don't supply a car while your car is being repaired. there are other nasty surprises in budget insurers terms. in short you get what you pay for.

Yes this happened to me, but they were very good at fixing the car, no forms to fill in . I have since changed as they charge too much plus they charge for mods.

No one company is good for everyone, as everyone is of different ages, locations etc and different companies specialise in different areas, and there's bound to be differences in risk assessment. All you can do is get as many quotes as possible. When I got a mine Direct Line, Elephant and Priviledge were all roughly the same.
