Insurance

[chrisall]

Hi all,

Just got my renewal quote off Tesco for my 1998 C70 T5 GT, over £1000 ..... which seems a bit on the steep side to say the least, especially as I'm 36 with 7yrs ncb. Which insurance companies does everyone use? My postcode is L34 (a Liverpool one, though I actually live in St. Helens .... thanks Post Office) which I understand may be bumping it up a bit, but it still seems way over the odds. Are there any alternatives to the main insurers, especially as I'm only doing around 6000 miles pa.

Cheers,
Chrisall.

i was with tesco for a couple of years but changed to highway who saved me a couple of hundred

Elephant, confused.com and Esure seem to be a good bet. I pay £700 fully comp for my S70 @ 24 years old and 1 years NC

and Halifax, who use Esure and First Alternative as options.

One of the tips I got, was to check my best quote against the AA. Shame they couldn't get within £500 of it though.

Best quote i have had recently for mine is the AA

I am with Privilege....paying £432 fully comp.
33yrs full no claims.
Car is meant to be garaged but cant actually fit it in due to all the junk .
Proabably go over to Tesco's at renewal though as they did a really good deal when i was insuring my Skyline.

Hi, we have a C70T5 auto, I have 8yrs NCD and nil points....however the other half has CD10 (undue care) and IN10 (no insurance) and 6 points too..(she was naughty..lol) the best quote we got with all that was £604 fully comp with Norwich Union... not bad with a dodgy post code and parked on the street...... hope this helps.

My Insurance is due on the 22nd, I was quoted £630 fully comp renewal through Elephant which I thought wasn't too bad, but then I realised the cheeky sods had quoted me for a 10mth NCB bonus accelerator policy. I've managed to get it down to £532 via Admiral for a full 12mth policy, which I don't think I'm going to beat as most other companies wanted £1200+.

I'm 26, 4 yrs NCB, living in a high risk postcode, car (850R) garaged overnight.

[macV70R]

I payed £450.00 fully comp for my R, thats with the missus on!! I am 28 with 5 yrs NCB, she is 25.

It was through Bell Direct.

I've got a 1999 C70T5GT Auto - elephant were by far the cheapest at £487 for the year fully comp - I'm 38 with three years no claims (used to have a company car so having to earn my NCB back!)

Elephant also do a bonus accelerator where you have a 10 month policy but they credit you at the end with a full years bonus.

They beat anyone else's quote hand down.

[S60D5]

I'm paying £504 per year fully comp on my 855 T5, I'm 21 with 2 years NCB. From memory, it was around an extra £120 for a C70 T5.

Esure seem to be a good bet. I pay £700 fully comp for my S70 @ 24 years old and 1 years NC

Esure won't touch me - 27, 6 years NCB.. even First Alternative wouldn't give me a quotation.

My insurance is up for renewal now, and everywhere's bl00dy expensive (£900+). I wonder if it's those 2 SP30's? :slap:

[philt6]

I know this subject has been done to death, just i would add this renewal quote from my current insurer was £860,did a search on Autotrader AA came back with £598 rang my insurer to cancel the policy gave them a chance to beat the AA quote they did .
