1st Central reviews

[Craig David]

I've recently got my license back after a DR10, LC20 and IN10. I tried calling the specialist brokers and was getting quotes in the region of £2,600 plus for a Citroen C1. I tried Confused for a Peugeot 207 and had quotes from Ladybird and 1st Central less than £2000 which confused me because the Pug is in a higher insurance band. My question is are these companies to be trusted? There are so many poor reviews from people being ripped off especially but 1st Central too. What are people's experiences of these brokers please?

Why not try the comparison websites? Last year my insurance for a Jag XF was only £870. This year it has sky rocketed as I still have a DR10 that won't fall off until July this year.

The cheapest I could get this year was £1,440 and that was through a comparison site.

My own brokers could not get it down below £1,700.

I also tried these 'speciliast,' sites, but to be honest they are incredibly expensive.

I've tried Compare the market. The cheapest quote was Ladybird @ £1,700 but when I called them the price went up to over £2,000. I called a specialist broker for high risk who quoted me over £2,000 too. It seems that I'll have to pay the price or give up the idea of driving for now.

I've been with 1st central for 2 years with no complaints. Was also with them at 19 with a no fault claim and they went above and beyond handling it. Can't really recommend them enough.
