Car insurance 2014

Post by likeins »

Hello, has anyone recently renewed their car insurance?
I am currently with Chris Knott. However since raising the fee this year, I refuse to continue the insurance with them.
Anyone else found a decent insurance group?

Ended up using sky insurance this year. 24 year old, 7 years ncb, mods declared paying 400ish for 10k mixed personal use and business miles. Cant grumble with that really.

AIB was £218 fully comp not using my NCB.

However they wouldn't insure me for driving other cars and wouldn't use my NCB which needed to be used this year or I would have lost all 12years of it so ended up going with Zenith for £276 which has all the above.

So far so good, but will update my thread if I have any probs.

Flux Direct did me a stonking deal a couple of months ago - £178 on a rev3 turbo, all mods declared, 31 yr old male driver with fault claim in last 5 years, 5000 mile policy, kept on driveway in a sleepy suburb of Reading. That's below most specialists' minimum premiums.

£280 full ncb with Admiral cheaper than my Accord or FRV. Where you live makes a big difference to the loading on the premium

Dorset Ins of MR2 drivers club fame became A one ins services who then recommended www.classicline.co.uk which have been good for several years, not a classic car ins policy where after two years your NCB ceases, like in emigrating for that period of time.

Been with classicline for two years. They are cheapest and give very good service.

Flux Direct with me as well but mine was on a TRD Widebody with a V6 lump and declared value with all the mods of £10k and also kept on the road in Central London.

5 yrs NCB and I'm an old git so I was pleased with £500 and full NCB protection with £250 excess.

Very efficient and helpful service, extremely professional as well.

Adrian Flux insures all 3 of my cars. As a rule i never renew on a renewal...but this year on the Pug 205 GTI and the wife's Focus they matched a better deal i found elsewhere. Kept it nice and simple.
I hope it will be the same next month when the MR2 comes up for renewal.

Why are Turbo conversions, with a few light mods, so much more expensive to insure. I'm struggling to get below £400 and I'm 47 with 2 years NCB in a good area. That's based on 4,000 miles per year and garaged.
