WTF!!!


I cant afford that.



Its on a limited classic policy with a massive excess...



Anyone got any ideas what i can do?



Shop around is what I do every year, there's no loyalty service with any of them now and every year there's new restrictions and/or endorsements and alterations to cover added to the policy. This is supposed to be a renewal??? Bollocks!

I am with NFU and really rate them for service and price.

Other option is

or similar comparison sites, no good if your truck is modded though.

Crikey - what counts as a mod these days?

Try somewhere else.! Just to annoy you - I'm only 18 months older than you and I insure my

101 with all mods declared (engine replaced with larger v8!, camper conversion, etc) for under =A3250, and IIRC my series 2A costs just over =A3100. I like this place -

Just to upset you all I insure my hybrid, okay its a its limited to 5000 miles a year on a classic policy with NFU. Just renewed last month for £57.64p. That's for a coil sprung V8 Rag top Lightweight. 100% legit with pictures and full spec sent to the underwriters. As for mods, the whole thing is a mod:-)

How old are you? (to nearest 5 years will suffice ;) )

Here's where we find he's 110 years old and lives in an iron lung and is insured as sole driver!

I'll second NFU. very good a LRs and suchlike.

Oddly having named low risk drivers, even if they don't drive can I'm assured bring your premiums down... go figure!

Right, in that case, I name The Pope as a low-risk named driver!

Mind you he might be a demon behind the wheel, perhaps I should check first.

50... Swmbo is named on the policy. Just naming her on my sons policy brought his down by £110! She never drives his.

Mike

Thats about the cheapest age isnt it? Does it start going up again after 50 ? ;)

Mark is only 26 IIRC which definately makes a difference. I'm 28 now and have been noticing that every year past 25 it has dropped by a fairly large amount! Ive had the same car for quite a while now. When i was 24 it cost around =A3850 to insure 3rd party. It is circa =A3200 fully comp now!

Ring up NFU and Carole Nash.

I've just joined them for the first time - should have done so years ago. I'm £180 better off - although thanks to Gordon and Alastair it doesn't feel it!

I pay less than £100 annually for my S3 with limited mileage: This was probably the easiest ever online quote as well.

From 452 with 350 excess

to

395 with 200 excess with Flux

slightly better.

Can't agree with it being easy, many, many overcomplicated questions, how many of you remember when your spouse attained their full licence? I'm not so sure about mine let alone hers. Oh yes and in the application process it neglects to tell you if you're from Northern Ireland, procreate elsewhere!

That's an occupation these days?

go figure.
