Well based on the limited responses (not supprised now looking at teh results) the insurance is a lot cheaper than i thought, although everyone so far has 5yr no claims (wonder if that makes a big difference?)
Many thanks to those taking part in the poll.

My Ride: 535d M Sport, with DMS upgrade, 19 inch wheels
Just renewed my policy last week. 4 years no claims, age 43, 3 points on licence, DMS re-map, live in Kent (Whitstable) and car kept on private driveway, Privilege car insurance ?442. I thought that was a great price! next best was around the ?550 mark.

5 yrs no-claims usually means you save 60-65% of the premium. So if the premium with 5 years no-claims is ?500 it will be approx. ?1,400 with none - so it can make quite a difference!
What insurance companies normally do is:
1 year: 30%
2 years: 10% off the 1 year NCB premium
3 years: 10% off the 2 year
4 years: 10% off the 3 year
5 years+: 5% off the 4 year
total: 51.5% - not 65%. I think this should go under the Trades Descriptions Act as fraudulent
, but never mind. The basic premium still ends up above ?1000.

Ah-ha - there is a nice little marketing catch, here. Actually, the no-claim discount is just over 50%!
What insurance companies normally do is:
1 year: 30%
2 years: 10% off the 1 year NCB premium
3 years: 10% off the 2 year
4 years: 10% off the 3 year
5 years+: 5% off the 4 year
total: 51.5% - not 65%. I think this should go under the Trades Descriptions Act as fraudulent, but never mind. The basic premium still ends up above ?1000.
