I get about 5 results from go comparetheconfusdmeerkat.com etc. Admiral being the cheapest, who happen to be my insurer anyway. £280, which isn’t bad, but could have been better.

What's not so great is that Suzuki only got me 24 hours insurance, so I've had to scramble around a bit with only 5 quotes. 3 quotes are reasonable, and in fact all 5 quotes i think are from the same parent insurer/underwriter.

Don't they usually give you 7 days insurance?

Yes. They said for some reason they couldn't do 7 days, without going into any detail.

So, after having got some quotes, I've now phoned Admiral to find they can't quite insure mine yet. I'm pretty sure it sounded like they have new SZ5's on the system, but not SZ4's. They're going to get back to me. Strange, because I got quotes from them through a few comparison websites which gave me the impression it would be no problem.

That makes sense. I was wanting to compare the cost of the dealer offered gap insurance with open market alternatives, so did a web search and Admiral was one of the results. Being a name I recognised I tried their site for a quote. I don't have a registration number yet, so used the vehicle manufacturer/model/engine type/engine size (1462)/exact model drop downs and they only list "Jimny 1.5 ( 101ps ) ALLGRIP 2019MY SZ5".

I find dealer GAP is always nearly double in terms of cost, only time I go down that route is if its free,
