Chris VR6nos 0 Posted July 9, 2005 I'm nearly as old as God and i pay £717 Filly Comp but live near the drug dealers which is handy but puts up the premium. I have a deal with an insurance broker that offers people who buy cars from me at Japspeed.Ltd discount and he's beeten 90% of previous quotes people have had by hundreds usually. Can always pull strings if you want a quote and see how it goes. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gradeAfailure 0 Posted July 18, 2005 Just sorted mine out with Adrian Flux - 28yr old, 7yrs no-claims - £425 fully comp with all mods declared and protected no-claims to boot... Brentacre/Greenlight/Privilege (my previous insurers) - tried 'em all and none of 'em could beat it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 18, 2005 ah, Flux would have beaten John's quote (part of their policy is that they'll beat ANY quote) but I've had enough of being messed about with their agreed policy which turned out to be me paying them £200 extra for them to turn round and say I'd not filled the form in when I actually did (sadly) have to use the policy...

EDSTARVR6 0 Posted July 22, 2005 just phoned John at Brentacre he couldn't get near my quote from the RAC, he said it must be a mistake and I should check it again.......no mistake £380 for 25yr old, 3 year NCD, driving 7000miles. That's just for me, unfortunatley the quote went up to £550 when I added the wife. I'm feeling smug now, and the fuel leak is fixed (for now...possibly.....I think/hope). thats with kinetic insurance through the RAC. HIC gave me a quote with kineic but it was £70 more expensive.

Neil VR6 0 Posted July 27, 2005 You might want to try http://www.confused.com although all RBS insurers (Priv, Churchill, DL) have opted out. They are an online aggregator. Probably better for std cars though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saysomestuff 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Brent Acre - £550 - fully comp I thank you :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not bad at all, was expecting it to be over 650 golden beer tokens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Just got my renewal quote from Chris Knott using Highway insurance. £900!! That's for me and Alex as named driver, I have 6 years ncb and an sp30. Been ringing around because I know I can get cheaper. Just rang Flux and they have quoted me £508 from Highway insurance!! The same bloody company but £400 cheaper. How can that be? Insurance companies are a mystery to me?!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Because you are not dealing with Highway you are dealing with a broker, in this case Flux and Knott, they both add an amount to cover their costs and this will vary. I believe that insurance companies have a low offer for your first year and then wack it up in the second year on the grounds that some people wont bother to look around for a better deal. In this case Knott's would have had a hefty £400 in their back pocket from you. I had a similar case when I went to reinsure my 'rocco earlier this year. I was with Elephant but Admiral quoted me about £75 less. What is really stupid is that they are the same company in the same building! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Insurance companies make no sense blackcat... More than currently have 25% off if you go online at the moment... just got a stonking deal for my missus and myself on her Jeep... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Well Chris Knott are definately not going to have £400 in their back pocket from me!! That kind of money is better spent on the VR in other ways!! I'm going to ring them tomorrow and see if they're prepared to beat Flux to keep my business but I doubt it very much..... Cheers for the info Henny but the trouble with online companies is that they won't insure modded cars, you have to ring up and then of course you don't get the discount :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanut 0 Posted September 16, 2005 Holy crap! just got my renewal through for my vr, £379 through Elephlump!!! considering im paying £240 for my modded audi s2 thats a joke! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted November 16, 2005 just a few things I've found when calling around.... Liverpool and Victoria - Won't touch modified cars (company policy) Elephant.co.uk - Cheap but say the words mod and after they've got all confused they stick you with a £250 addition to the price for having it anywhere near 200bhp Adrian Flux - What can I say.... cheap, friendly and they knew the mods before I even told them ;) Brentacre - Same as Adrian Flux, although they couldn't quite beat the price for 3rd party.... good on fully comp though quinn Direct - Cheaper than Adrian by a good £50, but they insist on an engineers report from the car to insure it if modded. I doubt the hassle of that is worth the while honestly... Looks like Adrian Flux get the thumbs up again... and only £20 more for it being a left hooker, which in my book is good. Elephant put on about £50 I seem to remember ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReekieVR 0 Posted January 17, 2006 Just spoke to Quinn Direct. Useless ! They want to know every driving offence i have ever commited (yup thats dates, times, colour of underwear etc.) The last 5 years is good enough for most other companies. I have never been asked about ALL my offences ever ! Quinn wanted me to provide dates and times for things that happened 12 years ago. THEN they wanted a photocopy of the front and back of my licence BEFORE they would even give me a quote ! A F*kin QUOTE i tells ya. Told them i couldnt be bothered and would ring one of the several hundred other ins companies which werent so bloody precious. Anyone else had this crap from Quinn ?
