Quotes from Compare The Market?

So I'm new to this compare the market and finding insurance for a car because I've just passed my test and wanting to buy a car soon. So I filled my account on Compare The Market and filled quite alot of details but at the beginning bit did it automatically because I put reg plate in from a fiesta on autotrade so got the quotes but EVERY insurance company is saying I need a black box fitted in my car but I don't want to have that but it's everyone that's saying it. I think it's something I've put in my details or is it the car please someone let me know why this is happening.

    According to Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert website, young drivers should use Confusd.com first, then Compare the Market.

    The other thing to check is the specifications of that Fiesta you chose on Autotrader. Did you check what insurance group it is in?

    The engine / performance and the trim level can significantly alter the insurance group of a car, so try to find another car in a lower group and try again to see if that improves things.

    So forget the "compare the market" site. So call several agents/brokers at their local offices and ask for quotes. So quotes from the internet are notorious for being inaccurate and unreliable. So.

    So the black box gimmick is supposedly to reduce rates. So I agree that it is just more of "big Brother" watching us. So

    "So" is not necessary as a preface to a question.

    The "SO" generation.....:>(

    Try using the other comparison sites. They may deal with other insurance companies. Not every company is on all the comparison sites and some companies, such as Direct Line are not on any of the sites.

    However, an insurance company is not obliged to do business with you. If they want certain conditions to deal with you you have to fulfil those conditions. If literally every company requires a black box it's fit a box or don't get insurance. It's that simple.

    " I don't want to have that" and insurance companies will say "why don't you want a box? Because you want to drive like an idiot?".

    If you are young, you will have to have the black box. It's sad, but young drivers are the most reckless and therefore forced into using a blackbox. I'm lucky that I'm old and don't need to have one, if it became mandatory I would quit driving.

    Dump this online thing. CALL three big insurance companies. It is very much EASIER.
