Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 13, 2015 Pleased to say I just got the VR reinsured at a great price finally. Lynbrook Insurance who I've used in recent years, and who a good friend of mine insurers a Scirocco with just came back with a price of £173. Needless to say I could barely get my card details out fast enough. That's a real result. Thanks Lynbrook :) That almost seems too cheap, given both the broker and the underwriter are making a profit! Still, don't look a gift horse in the mouth :) Agreed on the inconsistency of insurance. You never know what to expect from one year to the next, but it's definitely getting cheaper I think. I just renewed my Ed30 at £284 based on 15K miles a year and no garage. That is by far the cheapest insurance I've had....on any car.....ever. A bit of a shock to the system as I'm still used to paying a grand to insure the VRT!

Wayne2015 10 Posted March 13, 2015 I'm with marker study through Adrian Flux. I'm 32, 3 points, no fault accident in 2012, average postcode I think, 4k limited, all mods declared, all extras except key and breakdown, and paid £198 although it's it expires end of next month. When I called I was originally quoted around £225. I told them thanks and I was just going to phone a couple more companies (although I'd already called most and be best I had before that was £275), but the guy said what can we do to get you to commit now? I said if you get below £200 I would. I thought I was pushing my luck tbh, but he went away, came back a few minutes later and did it for £198. I was pretty chuffed with that so accepted. Nice bluff call, Sean! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 13, 2015 yeah i suppose, good point jim. my valver is on a 3k classic policy but with zero NCB, as that is used on the VR, & it was only about £180 ish it just sounded odd that someone much younger than me, with less NCB would pay so much less on the VR hey ho its done for another year now so not to worry this is also due for renewal very soon so lets see how much my 1 yr NCB helps What year again is your C?

Chuggs1 10 Posted April 1, 2015 Is that inc an agreed value? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted April 1, 2015 Is that inc an agreed value? What's the score with agreed value these days... Do you just pull a figure out of thin air and pay the premium... Does someone have to come and look at it... Or is their someone in the CORRADO club that puts a figure in it. I need a value on mine soon but don't have a clue...

seanl82 23 Posted April 1, 2015 Think its differs between insurers. Some require reports from a local valuer after you've taken the car to them, some will do it on photos and description/invoices of work carried out, and few will do it through mods on the CCGB I'd imagine.

Gti_Jamo 10 Posted April 1, 2015 I'm with Zenith just now fully comp, 33 with 9+ years ncb, 10k a year at around 300 quid for my G60. They did however remove the option this year to drive other vehicles which is a bit of a pain. Apparently alot of insurers are beginning to do away with this benefit so check your policies.

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted April 2, 2015 Just had a quote from Lynbrook... £718... because I use it for going to work... thanks but no thanks... Rog. thats nuts Rog. is that business cover included or a single place of work commute? i have the latter on both my main VR policy & the classic limited miles valver policy & they are both leagues away from the lynbrook price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Chatfield 0 Posted April 8, 2015 Update, so I phoned around and couldn't get it any cheaper, went back to Flux and reduced the mileage to 3000, also stuck the wife on it and got it down to £229... however that wasn't with agreed value and I could not protect my NCB but I can drive other cars 3rd party.
