cat 1 alarms and insurance

[Nafoff]

am just about to take out a new policy with adrain flux and they told me that a cat 1 alarm would not reduce the premiuim at all

anybody else had this

Yep, got Clifford concept 650 CAT1 in, no difference at all.

 

[Nafoff]

was looking at getting a cat 1 but may not bother now, will still get a clifford though

 

[Clellandmc]

150 quid difference. Im not sure about the change in price at renewal time though, whether you save any then.

More likely to buy a Cat 1 alarm for my own conscience than insurance. Though it does vary from company to company what level of discount they give for a Cat1 alarm

 

[Nafoff]

with clifford they are pritty good anyway, especially if you get the exterior proxy

Told the only difference was the colouring of the wire, and the material of the computer casing between the CAT1 model and the normal model.

The CAT1 had all black wires and the normal one had coloured wires.
The CAT1 had the brain in a metal box, whereas the other one had it in a plastic box.

Id agree with that. Id rather that I had the best possibly "rating" for my alarm than not.

I was told that my valver would need a cat2 immob mimimumm.
As the standard alarm & immob wasnt approved i decided to get a cat1, I have no idea though if it reduced the insurance.
