"Dave Plowman (News)" gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

Oh, I agree. Car insurance always justifies a few hours on the phone,
but apparently a lot of people don't bother.

I've found a few minutes on a comparative website works for me.

Depends on your requirements. If they're fairly vanilla, then yes. As
soon as you start to get away from those vanilla requirements, then
they're hopeless.

100% correct. I have yet to find one of the web or telephone based insurers
that can even find my Land rover on their database let alone give me a
sensible quote. NFU on the other hand charged me £84 last renewal having
insured the vehicle for the last 14 years. Not all NFU offices are equal
though, I find the Cambridge office very obliging and reverted to them after
trying the local branch when we first moved North.
