I would read the schedule and policy documents,as it may not be as good as you are led to believe.
Cheap is only obtained by cutting costs,normally by not covering important items.

I've managed to find cover for £1149. I'm only part-time now. ( I've a 'proper' job, 9-5 Monday to Friday, holiday pay, sick pay and even a pension!)
Some insurers won't cover me because I'm part-time. My mileage is probably going to be around 10-12,000 as opposed to 25-30,000 when I was full time. I would have thought my premium would have been less.

Just came off a fleet insurance. Bought my car outright from office in 18 months.

Yes. I lived like a pauper for them 18 month.

Car has 61k on clock. 2 years no claims from previous insurance.

Bit gutted that freeway won’t insure me just because I have had 2 ladies drive into my rear bumper and admitted liability and no fake whiplash injuries made. Hardly any damage. Few hundred quid for taxi plate and touch ups needed. Both non fault. Freeway said more than one and we don’t play ball.

I have shopped about. Highest £2300 hahahaha hahahaha.
Best I can get is £1410.

Mate of mine bought a car 6 month ago after finally coming off a rental car. Freeway insured him for £1080

Insurance is a proper [edited by admin] take.
