Mine is also quite high, Johnny told me to say the car is parked on private property and value the car above 1000quid. Ring around and see if they are willing to drop prices to beat the compatition

Also try and get named drivers on with a couple of years experience with some NCB's that will drop it by a lot compared to what it is now.

I wouldnt put that to high as you also have compulsory excess which the insurance company puts on itself mine was 500 compulsory and 0 voluntary as i didnt notice much difference

But when i had my accident as it was his fault i didnt have to pay thei excess so i got the full money i dunno how it would have worked with voluntary
