it really stinks,
my SIL has just passed her test, cars worth £500 n her insurance with her bf is £3500,
ive been driving 6yrs, never claimed, but mines gone up £25 per month more this year, insurance company told me its due to so many people claiming due to the bad winters we have had,
good luck searching, have u checked ur bank n compare websites and things, mines £150 per month cheaper with directline than any other company, which isnt on a compare website, so might be worth checking there if you havent allready,
