Direct Line: Buch of tw*ts

[fizzy_drink]

Called to tell them about my smaller cheaper 15" wheels.

They want an extra £200 per year, and want to put my excess up by £150.

What a bunch of t*ssers!

Im deffo changing insurance now: Who to go for?

26, 3 yr NCB, 3week disqual three years ago (SP50), excellent postcode.

Oms.

The wheels might be cheaper but they improve performance so its fair?

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Im with Renault Insurance mate. Give them a try. Im paying £700ish for my 182. Im 23, no points, full no claims, good postcode.

 

[Griff]

Im more than happy with Direct Line. 27, no points, full no claims - £400 fully comp (172 Cup)

 

[fizzy_drink]

Road performance is the same really - feedbacks deffo better.

If I were to fit identical 16s only a different colour, theyd put up my premium even more...

Looking for a "mod" friendly insurance company now...

Currently paying £970!!

 

[visceral]

Im with piviledge - who are basically direct line.

£419 F/C Protected, million years no claims,garaged - sh*te post code apparently.

 

[skidmark]

Try sainsburysbank.co.uk - theyre good. Im 23, 5 yrs NCB good postcode and paying just over 300 a year fully comp

 

[nobblebonce]

[McBunny]

directline have been great for me my insurance goes down even with points

 

[fizzy_drink]

Filled in a form for Greenlight...

Will update as soon as I have a quote..

 

[Big G]

Directline were wanks with me too. They just dont like mods.

 

[McBunny]

and thats good for us with non

 

[fizzy_drink]

^^^

I still feel that £970 for a decent character like me with 3yrs NCB to be too much..

Guess they dont like disqualifications either!

 

[Has]

Try Greenlight or Tesco

Both gave me similar prices!! and are known to eb pretty good rnd here

I would recommend churchill. 22yr old female 3yrs NCB clean licence on a LCR £700. Not bad at all.

And ive just changed from Direct Line

 

[fizzy_drink]

^^

£1422... This is getting silly!

 

[cambsclio]

Tried CIS? they were good with me. went from a 1.4, to a 1.6 megane engine and didnt affect insuance. not in the same league as a 182 but they seemed good with mods on mine so might be cheaper?

pay £1200 with them now. thats at 19 with 0 NCD and a 1.6 Mk1 clio. cheapest quote i got to that was £2200

 

[TheRoninV6]

Try Virgin car insurance, they also do intrest free monthly payments. Im 25 8NCB and pay £960 for the V6.

 

[fizzy_drink]

Many thx for replies...

Greenlight - No Good (wont insure me on 15s, but will insure me on 18s)

CIS cant process my application online

Virgin are essentially the same as Directline or Tesco afaik : Just under £1000.

Oms.
