   I hear Admiral talked about a lot, but just check every company you can.

   That seems very expensive to me. I am 19, in my 3rd year of driving on my own policy on a VTR and I pay around £900 per year TPFT.

    Honestly like I aid above, ask a meerkat for a price. get th top 3 and play them off against eachother over the phone. I just did mine today, got it from £950 down to £830. thats a lot of money to save. The main ones seem to be Quinn, Admiral, Elephant. My advice would be.
    1) price comparison website
    2) ring up top 3 and see how much you can get off each one
    3) have a spare few £££ to spend on your car
