Renewed because of price, was still a whole lot less than all other quotes given mileage, 2nd driver with only 1 year full uk licence (I have more than 30 years) My quote was £239 for me only with 10 yrs ncd, £245 with 2nd driver as above. tried all the major comparison websites and a few direct ones too. Quotes from £239 up to nearly £800 (which planet are they on?) I got the cover I want, fully comp courtesy car, so that's ok, actually was not complaining but pointing out pitfalls for others. As it happens i can change my mileage subject to small extra premium + £20 admin charge. I may well not go over the mlleage, but will note my mileage anyway.

Many thanks LucyBC. my wife passed her uk test nov 2010, having lived in 3 other countries and possessing foreign driving licences for 25 years, but the question that comes is How long have (you or) the 2nd driver held a uk licence. So told truth. Specialist quoted £398.25 + £20 admin fee. local broker here in wales quoted £295+ £20 admin. As I read more and more tales of woe about companies refusing to pay out i took HJ's advice and did lots of checks, by the way it is Chevrolet insurance via GMAC underwritten by Provident. Did application online via Chevrolet website simple and very easy to use.

Was however surprised to see how many brokers came up offering insurance indirectly as well as insurance companies, Best alternative was daily mail, Beat that quote including cashback, then confused, then moneysupermarket finally Elephant.

swiftcover long way down and lv = poor too.

Happy motoring.
