Have a play with adding people, changing where it's parked, increasing excess etc.

Some tips:
Add some older drivers as named drivers, they bring it down A LOT. My Mum and Dad as named drivers save me a good £300.
Park it on the driveway or street
Play with your job description

Street is for some reason cheaper than drive
What job do you do? I get raped for saying motor trade even though we look after our cars properly

Iv been told being 21 makes a huge difference, then you have always got the area you live in.

Play them off against each other too, say your best quote is £900 or something similar - can they do better? 9 times out of 10 they will undercut it

Cheers guys. Great help.
I think it would be useful for this site to sticky or have a guide on insurance. (if there isn't one already)
