I just phoned for a tesco's car insurance quote, and they quoted me over two hundred quid more, for third party fire and theft, then other companies wanted for full comp. No wonder they are making so much money.

I have also done that before Marino, they are expensive! try RAC, they have taken over AXA, and they are quite gagging for new business, so I,m told.. also it will help if you tell them you have 70 years no claims, and your car is garaged with a moat surrounding it, with razor wire and dogs as well, dont tell them you do porn though, tell them your a retired gardener..

You're better off getting an online quote from a MoreThan They quoted me a lower premium than I was paying 5 years ago.

Tescos have always been the cheapest for me usually by around about ?80. Also when I ran into the back of someone they were brilliant and I had no hassles at all from them, as well as the staff at the call centrs being really good too.
search alot of places for you as well. Sainsburys and theAA are meant to be pretty good.

The trouble with insurance is you need to be a lawyer to really understand the jargon in the contract to understand the difference in price
The price difference between getting a direct quote from an insurance company or going through a broker or another institution selling their products beggars belief
Bottom line...insurance is a minefield

Hmm, I have been with Tescos for 3 years now. I use my car for work, it is only 2 years old, and the premium is a mere ?219. Cheapest on the market by a mile. A lot depends on your post code.

Of course depends on circumstances but for me Sainsburys - 0800 032 0000 cheaper than Tesco, AA, Churchill, RAC etc. Got another 5% discount for holding a Sainsburys Visa card too!!
