Hughes Insurance a better price
I have returned to Hughes Insurance after many years as they hadn't been just as competitive as others. They are now coming up to the top of insurance search engines again. They are still not the cheapest but you get the full package including breakdown insurance included. I used compareni as I live in N.Ireland unfortunately I couldn't pay online so I had to call. Even doing this you are calling someone based in N.Ireland which is good because it's easier to understand each other. I hope they continue to be competitive as I prefer to buy local. Hughes wasn't the top price but for me local contact and a proven name in insurance was my main choice.
