Default Insurance and instalments

Might sound obvious to some, but it is worth checking how much you end up paying if you pay by instalments.

Got two quotes today, one from RSOC for £720, other from A. Flux for £695.
I thought, bargain, let's go for A.Flux, then worked out that by paying by instalments, A.Flux works out £30 more expensive than RSOC. Guess who I am ringing now...

I did, can't beat RSOC on the premium, about £100 more expensive, same with Carole Nash, HIC won't event quote.
Tried www.moneysupermarket.com, I got quotes for £230 for a 2000E

Why not get a 0% credit card and pay no interest for 9 months? Better than installments.
