Have you tried Swinton? That is who I was insured with when I started.

Try UK Insurance Solutions, I believe Matt the owner is registered on here.

They were the cheapest for me. Me + one named driver (just turned 25), 2k per year.

Sadly I do not have his number to hand though.

the sickening thing is you pay over the odds for H&R insurance then dare not claim off your own if you have a bump and no 3rd party to blame, especially till you reach the point of having protected NCD
