Try Elephant. Third party fire and theft, should be cheapest. Also try adding parents as an additional driver. always helps

Need to be 25 to drive other cars with admiral.
Also, get a credit card with a long 0% on purchaces, put the lump sum on that and pay it monthly. Just make sure and pay it all off before the interest free period runs out.

Best way if you have to pay monthly is to get a 0% credit card. Wack it on there then pay that off each month.
Saves alot of money!

Not always, I've been doing quotes for my gf's brother who's just passed his test, fully comp has been a good 300quid cheaper.
But yeah add parents as named driver, used to bring mine down another 100quid

Admiral, will add a few hundred on if you want to pay monthly, do as above if you can and put it on an interest free CC (cut it up after if you have no self control )
Also put your Mum and Dad on their and you should get it under 1K unless their jobs are dangerous.

Unless you have poor/no credit history like yours truly

But they credit check you if you do monthly anyway, so not always possible to do it monthly anyway.
