Swinton Car Insurance
Who are Swinton?
Swinton have been trading since the 1960's and have enjoyed a fruitful existence. In the 90's Swinton was part of the Royal & Sun Alliance Group but was purchased by French insurer La Mutuelle Du Mans Assurance (MMA) in May 2001. They still trade independantly in the UK along with their sister company MMA UK. In May 2002 Swinton bought Colonnade Insurance Brokers and became Swinton Colonnade. This merger made Swinton Colonnade the biggers insurance broker on the high street, with brances covering 90% of the UK.
Swinton Car Insurance
Swinton Car Insurance offers low-cost car insurance from a panel of 20 different firms, but it's not available to riskier drivers: if you're driving an import, live in Northern Ireland or have a modified car, then the site won't give you a quote (although you're urged to call them instead).
The Swinton Car Insurance site has been given a major overhaul since our last visit, and premiums have improved too: quotes that were in the region of £800 have fallen to much more reasonable levels ? at least in the case of our city driver, who was quoted £320.83 for his car insurance. However, our 4x4 owner would pay a rather scary £762.66 for insurance from Swinton Car Insurance, which is considerably higher than the average £500 premium from the Internet-only brigade.
Swinton Car Insurance is the biggest broker on the high street, and its buying power means that when its prices are low, they're very low.
Summary
The Swinton site is very easy to use and the quote system only takes a matter of minutes to fill in. There is plenty of insurance related information to browse through and if you have not passed your test yet there is a very helpful 'mock theory test' which you can take a look at. Apart from car insurance you can also get a quote for breakdown cover, search for a new car and discover more about car credit.

I recently spent a week on the internet looking for car insurance. I got a call from Swinton and they quoted me the cheapest price of all the companies with the lowest excess and lots of extras included that other companies either didn't include or charged extra for.
The guy that dealt with me was professional but friendly and not pushy at all. I even emailed their customer services to say how pleased i was.
On the basis of my insurance I have recommended them to 2 friends who have both received the same level of service and also the best price. My friends had previously been with Direct Line and Norwich Union for many years and both these companies were not in the least bit interested about retaining their custom or offering a competative price. They have saved nearly £150 each on their insurance renewals.
As a reward I got £20 for recommending my friends.
Would highly recommend them.
I am 19 now but first had a car when I was 17 on a provisional licence. I called many different insurance company's and found on average most of the quotations to be over £800.00. The quotes were for a Metro 1.1 insured for Third Party Fire And Theft. I found that 'Swinton' were the most helpful and cheapest company to be with. They gave me helpful advice which I did not have from the other company's. Most Insurance company's gave me a negative attitude and treated me like a 3 year old.
I stayed with Swinton for my first year and earned my no claims bonus and then on the second year I changed company's as I did manage to find a quote about £60.00 cheaper. But 3 months later I changed my car to a Peugeot 106. I then had more quotes with other company's and decided to go back to Swinton as yet again I could not beat their quote. I have now stayed with Swinton and am in 3rd year.
Swinton is professional, reliable, helpful and a competitive company. They look after their customers rather than treat them as '£' signs.
