Renwal up in March, just got a quote, cheapest I can find is £570 then £55 cashback, fully comp.
Specs
1x20yr male, 3NCB, full license since 05/05/05 with Pass Plus
1x19yr female named
Street parking, B rated area (LN5)
Less than 7000 miles
'R' 1.8 Escort Si standard
Just seems to me to a bit on the expensive side considering last year for my SRi Corsa same specs as above just a year younger each and 1 less NCB I was paying £390

Yea 115PS engine (what does PS mean???) but imho it is nowhere as good at acceleration as the corsa, possibly due to weight or different gearboxes, AFAIK its group 11?

fully comp doesnt help the price, if u want cheap cheap insurance look at virgin car insurance. to me the price seems about right, neither of u are 21 so thats not helping either

Dont see the point being fully comp on an R reg escort mate might aswell go third party fire and theft.

PS is the SI (Standard International - the recognised world wide unit) unit for power, it is slightly lower than BHP

Not really. One 19 yr old and one 20 yr old. Sounds resonable to me.
Pics of 19 yr old female is needed though

Shhh, im being serious here 
Well the only reason for going FC is if there is an accident we just cannot afford to replace the car without getting some sort of payout to help, my GF is moving into her own place this month and so bill shave absolutely soared (moved out of her mums place) and I dont want to be going into my overdraft to be buying a car for £600 that may go wrong again  Although I will look into TPFT, when I tried last year it was MORE expenive TPFT on the corsa than fully comp

just tried money supermarket putting TPFT and ive got stupid quotes of £650 upwards from everyone. Its always been the case with me that fully comp cover is cheaper than TPFT but I dont understand that at all
