Who are you all insured with?

[BYRON]

I need to renew the insurance on the GF's 197 Cup.
Last year we used Bell Direct, as at the time - they were most competative.

Just had the renewal letter through with another years NCB @ £200 dearer.
After looking about it is apparant that they are expensive, but not a million miles away from their peers.

24yrs Old
3yrs NCB
2008/08 Cup (standard)
6k miles PA
Good postcode
SP30

I know insurance is driven on an individuals particulars, but can anyone with recent experience recommend a competative insurance company?

TIA.

I called Adrian Flux, they're pretty good!

Highway insurance through Greenlight.

If you become a member, we get geat savings with Chris Knott insurance

 

[BYRON]

I called Adrian Flux, they're pretty good!

£1100 - £1600 using the quote facility on their website.

Chris Knott has been mentioned before - I will call them later.

 

[fUbAr]

Yeah its worth the £10 membership to potentially save a couple of hundred quid!

Give greenlight a call too, always been good with me

 

[shadowsun]

Try Virgin car insurance (UK). I am with them and they were by far the cheapest - even more so than any on the price comparison websites. Also, they DO NOT charge any further fee's if you pay monthly rather than yearly which can make a great saving. Even though my Clio is only a 1.2L insurance is under £300 per year

 

[rory182]

never bothered moving from Elephant - always match and better the best price I can find and have the lowest excess.

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Highway insurance through Greenlight.

Same here, great price and seem to be mod friendly too Not too sure if they insure 172 Cups though.

 

[Vicky.]

I found Norwich Union to be cheap!

 

[Rossy197]

Admiral for me

£386 Fully comp on my 182 (27 yrs / 9 yrs NCB )

They were the cheapest for me, was with elephant but they were way too expensive considering elephant is owned by Admiral ???

OUCH !

 

[BYRON]

Virgin weighs in at £950/yr. I just cant believe the variation in premium this year to last year. unbelievable.
I wouldnt use highway/Greenlight either - bad experience with them in previous years.

ECAR - £1209....pmsl. waiting for a callback from Chris Knott.

 

[Jonny1*2]

i'm with greenlight FTW. 'A plan' aren't bad either.

 

[Lou]

Direct Line for me at the moment!

 

[DrrnCour]

Admiral are pretty good, they dont come up on price comprassion sites either. I'm paying £450 fully comp for two people, on a clio 182. Both 26yrs old, from Surrey, with a total loss declared, two years no claims each, (would have been four, but lost two due to the total loss in november). Can drive all other cars on this policy, and excess was about £250. Give them a try.

 

[big_dave_r]

its all about where you live and its irelavent if you think your area is nice or nt i live in what is percieved 2 be the nicest part of my town and its no where near the lowest for insurance. my insurance is £500 comp for a 22yr old on a 172 but if i lived 1 mile up the road it would be £350

 

[182 clio racer]

Im with greenlight. Renewal from Tesco was 1050 and greenlight was 490 so no contest lol

 

[alex-avfc]

RAC, undercut everyone else by about £300 for me

 

[Iceberg_172]

Im 22, driving for 3 years and have 1 year ncb. £700 fully comp inc breakdown cover.

Have a look at the post codes on this. Useful doc to read. Was gutted to find out my area was classed as a 'D' area. No wonder i pay stupid premiums.

[ditz]

just under 1300 for me with flux with breakdown/legal cover... at 19 on my 2.0 engine converted car with all its mods declared

was well impressed

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

I've just changed to Greenlight from HIC and found them to be cheap and offer trackday cover for £50 per event (apart from Castle Combe) and they just double your excess.

 

[alanc1000]

Esure, about £460 i think for a 197 57 plate, 9 yrs no claims and all the add on bits like legal cover and courtesy car

 

[VeinAST]

£1100 for the year just gone with my 1.4 on Quinn Direct

They wanted to charge me £975 for a renewal fee LOL

Phoned up Flux and they got me insurance on my 172 with Ensign for £955 but just over £1000 with installments...

 

[BYRON]

Quick update...The quotes were ridiculous imo circa £1000. Seeing as it only cost £670 FC for the last year, I cant see the logic in a £300 increase?
Im taking the opportunity to buy a new car - A3 3dr S-Line. Looking to secure one on Tuesday. The 197 will be up for sale shortly...
