    My insurance is up 30/12 (great date, I know).
    I've been shopping around and the best price I've found so far is with Admiral. [£217 inc protected no claims and legal cover and £210 excess.]

    Who are you insured with? Any recommendations?

    Thanks
    Rex.

    I'm also with Admiral - I currently have 2 cars on the same policy, so they worked out best for me at the time.

    If I remember rightly, the price for the Copen was very similar to what you've been quoted. I'd also be very interested to hear if anyone has found a better deal.

    That seems like a very good deal.

    I think I paid about £270 for similar cover and I've been driving for, oh, well over 30 years.

    Insurance, like everything else, is more expensive in N. Ireland.

    I'm with Admiral too - they were massively cheaper than every other quote I got. Although my insurance was still a cough-worthy £600+ due to not having had a car for a while and thusly no no-claims :s

    Thanks for the replies,
    It looks like Admiral likes Copens (and who can blame them).

    I recently renewed mine with Elephant after they gave me a way better renewal quote than Admiral - turns out they are part of the same company too so it's worth getting quotes from both to see if they will match.

    I have all three of my cars on an Admiral multi car policy, £600 fully comp, which covers a 4X4, an Aygo and my delicious Copen. I have had great service from them for the past couple of years.

    £660 fully-comp from Bell. Ouch! This is after my incident with the deer earlier in the year and having only been driving three years. Oh well.. Copen is worth it :)

    Just to update this old thread.... It looks like Admiral are still the cheapest for me, even if there has been a 20% increase from last year (now £261 with £210 excess 8k miles/year).

    Any body been shopping around recently?
