Thats a good price - is it under your dads name and you as a second driver ?
I have just got my insurance down to about £160 - Fully Comp. for S/D/P & Buisness use with SAGA and that for a

My renewal will be around 400 this December. 3 years no claims and I'm 21. Did some shopping around and it's about 100 more if I want to declare the mods I plan to do

Often fully comp is cheaper than 3rd party. It could be worth tring clasic insurance

ive found fully comp is cheaper on newer cars but on the 340 is was about £550, i couldnt get classic insurance till im 21 I was told

i dont kno what it is bout me but comparison sites have still quoted 3500 quid ive dun it on a mazda mx5 that is only 2000 quid!

my 340 back in 07 was £1500 tpft but i got it for £1100 as the insurance company took some off and gave me a years ncb, as i was on my dads policy for 6 months after passing my test driving a 2l turbo car. good stuff really. next year or as soon as my volvos finaly runing sweet again, fully comp £500 grp 19, all mods declared.

Dont contradict the Kaos Adam.
Hes got the market cornered.
On EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

I got quotes £2100 on a 1.4 yesterday (17, first car, male, with dad as the 2nd driver (having a parent as 2nd driver lowers quote by ~£600 for me))
I'm going to go on a comparison website, and find a lower quote... then I'll take that quote back to the ins. brokers and get them to beat it. Play them off against each other a bit... I just hope the best quote I get *isn't* from Quinn because the brokers will laugh at me if I ask them to beat Quinn, because Quinn are shite :p

That is a total p*ss take of a quote for a 1.4 thats worth what, even in factory fresh condition top whack £1000?!

Comparison sites are fine for just that, but to get a really good deal your better off spending a few hours on the phone to various companys. Pretty much all of them will give you a better price than what it states on the comparison sites.

Also smaller lesser known companys can often do you a good deal, maybe worth looking into? The Co-Op used to be pretty good and cheap when i started driving.

DON'T go with the Co-op I had my MG insurance with them which was written of on boxing day through no fault of my own yet im still waiting on the money 11 months on!!!
