Most ridiciolous insurance quote you ever got?

  White Clio 1.2 @ 172
Confused.com advert just came on and reminded me of the time I was 17yrs old trying to get insured on my mothers 800CC Daewoo Matiz.

Quote from IIRC Admiral was Circa £35,000

The best part of it was the call I got the next day offering me 10% discount on it and the female caller asked if I would be intrested.

When I asked the lady why she thinks I should pay 35x the car's value in insurance she was speechless.

now I would like to here your stupid quotes your received from insurance companies.

My appologies if this is a repost!

Regards Dean.

Wow, that's a lot!

Biggest quotes that make me laugh come from Norwich Union everytime. Always in the thousands. I ring them every year just to see what they'll "quote me happy" with, knowing full well they never will :)

funilly enough Norwich Union quoted me £550 on my Clio 1.2 1998.

The next year they sent me a renewal quote for £1550 having had my driving liscence for 1year longer no claims and no point's I could not see why this was.

Jeremy Clarkson was not very happy when he had to repeat Bugatti Veyron over and over to them.

mmm mine seems small. 5 grand on a nova and 3 grand on a base model punto. Thought these were stupid but 35000, surely a mistake!

I asked the same but no apparently it stood true.

I live in a very low risk area, I was 17 and had, had my liscence for 2months. I was just due to turn 18 and it was a standard 0.8l Daweoo Matiz on a T plate 1 owner since brand new. I had no points and had no claims.

Seems strange when the same company quoted me just under 1k on my Clio 1.2.

I ended up going Norwich Union for £550ish.

I believe most insurance companies dropped them now anyway as they were providing stupid quotes as evident by my first post :p

Ive found Frizell/JamJar/Elephant to be the most reasonable but if anyone knows any better I would love to hear of them.

mmmm, I'm only 17 but tried with 1 years no claims on a saxo vtr, added my mum and everything and elephant quoted me 4000. I'm in a pretty low risk area but i suppose it must differ a lot with age, as with all insurance!

3k from Direct Line on a 172 about a year ago.

The biggest insurance piss take was when I moved from York to Kent. It went up by £180! That was more than half the original policy FFS. They wanted the money when I changed my address too not from the next renewal. The only other option was to dump the policy and start again, but that was even more expensive. Would be interested to see how much it is in March with 2yrs ncb and both being over 25!

Another reason to dislike Kent!!

That will have been Chris Green from Service, he lives in Lichfield. He's looked after my cars for a few years now. It's a shame the mechanics aren't as good. Which is why it's going to Wolvo for it's service on Tuesday.

Nine and a half thousand pounds for my clio 182. They sent it in writing too and I thought that I had taken the policy out with them, almost fainted. Luckily it was only a quote!
