Have you tried Ford’s own insurance? A few people have said they are quite competitive (I’m not associated with Ford BTW ?).

Seems about right. I have the same car and I went onto the comparison web sites. Churchill was my best bet ??‍

Ford insure isn't that good a price their quote is £800, that's more than 50% more than on gocompare or compare the market. Cheapest quote I have for this year is £459 on gocompare from GoSkippy.

My current insurance is £539 so looks like 2025 will be cheaper.

Having a wife who works in the isnsurance business, I always find these thread to be quite entertaining. As if any individual can compare thier insurance pricing with another person. The variables used are so diverse you can have two people who live next to each other pay totally different amounts on the exact same car. Your best bet is to get an esitmate BEFORE you buy a car, and even then, there are numerous variables that come into play. Are you replacing a car? are you adding a car? do you have more drivers than cars? do you have a teen driver? do you have a male teen driver? do you have a child away at school with a car? do you have a child away at school without a car? is the car garaged?

I could go on, for literally, another paragraph or two, but people trying to compare insurance UNIVERSALLY are NEVER EVER comparing "apples to apples"..

Hi.

I’m looking at buying in a couple of months so got a quote through MoneySupermarket. So I'm the wrong side of 40 and I've just got a quote for a MME Premium and a GT with the vehicles covering 15,000 miles a year. Ford Insure were the cheapest for me and I was quoted £778 for the Premium and £882 for the GT.

I understand how insurance works. However it is good to ask around as some companies not on comparison sites can be more competitive

No...no it's not. The only way to compare rates is to get the actual COMPANY to get you a quote. If I posted "Country Financial gave me a rate of $200 every six years for my mach-E" that is not in the slightest bit helpful for ANYONE else. End of Story.

you're confusing "arrogance" with "knowledge"....

Are you stupid ? You are making statements about insurance in a country you do not reside. And in a sector YOU do not have direct experience in.

Knowledge ? Yeah ok

I had been with LV for many years but even though I had had my MME for 2 yrs with them & no claims it suddenly doubled. In the end I tried two comparison sites Direct saved hundreds of pounds. Suggest you try that
