Amazing drop in price - Insurance

[Andy665 0]

Always had my C insured with a well known broker in these circles, was a bit suprised to see my quote this year was for £399 - ok all mods declared and agreed value but I have maximum NCB and am now classed as an old git at 41 today.

 

Went to another broker and got a like for like quote of £260, rang my original broker back and they price matched.

 

On one hand I'm happy with a much reduced price, on the other hand a bit miffed that I could have naively paid £140 more than I needed to

Salut you sir! :salute:

 

Great saving. But as you says its a good job you checked. I never take the renewal figure as true, i always see if someone can get it lower. Though mine is almost 2x price of your renewal figure.

You're lucky you've made it to 41 before becoming an old git. I'm 33 and feel like I've been one for a while :)

I'm 27 and everyone tells me I'm a moaning old git!!

 

Good result on the insurance Andy. Just annoying you have to ring around these places all the time to force them to drop their price a bit. It's a pain in the backside if you have a lot of modifications as you have to sit there reeling them off for ages only to find they can't give you a decent quote...

It is only in the last two years i've been able to push Adrian Flux down, they always had the best deal, this year i got £90 chopped off the price, £400 down to £310, they had to wave their admin fee but it don't bother me!!!! And yes many mods even if not performance ones take a while to go through, 40 with 14yrs NCB, Get in!!!

£226 for the VR with agreed value not bad for 37. but stupidly the 8v cost £250 and only cost 1K Lol!

 

Good work Andy always worth a little shout round!

I was with Chris Knott last year. They and Adrian Flux were about equal.

This year Adrian Flux beat the renewal by £100 so I'm off to them.

£250.

 

And :new-bday: Andy

I am currently looking for a VR6 and got a few quotes - Compared to some of you, I am a very old git of 49!!. Will only be used as a 2nd car with limited mileage and HIC were the best @ £245 which I thought was very reasonable.

I just did a Confused.com search putting me down for a standard vaver with no mods.

 

best price was AA who quoted £241.51 with a £550 excess.

 

Tesco value wanted £331.80 with a £675 excess no courtesy car and no window cover!!! What a joke?

 

I currently pay £310 with £250 excess with Eagle Red Star

Any money you manage to save on insurance now will only be spent on higher road tax though :lol:

I pay £400 for the W8, which is Group 18, and I've just turned 28 (was 27 when took out the Insurance though), so I'd be surprised if you're still paying £400 a few years down the line!

 

That's park on the street, business class insurance, £350xs, protected no claims (8 years, 9 come end of the month hopefully!), and all the usual nice gubbins on top too (windows, etc). Even had 3 points too, though that expired in June.

 

Getting old isn't so bad! :)
