do they just pluck random numbers from thin air or something?
just using admiral.co.uk i've been given all sorts of different quotes for the same car using the same details of between 1030-1300 quid.
rip off merchants springs to mind

i got a quote of £483 for a 59 plate fiesta zetec s, then got a quote for a 2000 mk5 zetec s which is £750.
probably because of the security though.

You lot thought the £1300 rise for lowering -40mm on springs was steep right?
I was doing quotes with my current ensurer, on my current car, to see what it'll be when I have 2 NCB. However when renewal is up, I'll no longer be a student. So my renewal was about £500, fair enough, as a student. However when I change it to marketing assistant (or any non-student profession for that matter) it jumped to £1700.

Seriously though, I tried everything, even removing the alloys, it didn't change.
I will be changing when I renew either way to the high street broker dad has gone with for years and can normally beat anything.

i find elephant and admiral are best for me, the only other company that has given me a lower quote is a specialist company called greenlight insurance.
