Pincher Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 No surefire way of finding the 'best' quote, unfortunately. Everyone will recommend their own insurer as they obviously got a good deal (otherwise they would have gone through someone else!!) Having said that, try Bell Direct - they are owned by Admiral but have a slightly different quotation system. They did the biz for me - £500 Fully Comp with Protected No-Claims on an R32, mods declared, in Essex Just remember that cheapest is not always best - check the small print carefully to see exactly what you do and don't get in the event of any accident/claim.

RedRobin Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Surely this depends on too many factors for any of our quotes to be meaningful. Quotes depend on your insurance history, where you live, what you do, how old/young you are, annual mileage, car spec. Due to my history, age, location, I'm under £500 fully comp.

b5rkr Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 NO NOT REALLY RED, EVERYBODY PROBABLY GETS A FEW QUOTES BEFORE CHOOSING. SO I WANTED TO SEE IF ANY PARTICULAR COMPANY WAS MENTIONED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 b5rkr - It's an unwritten rule at TSN not to use CAPS so totally. Not only is it considered to be shouting of the screaming variety but it's also more difficult to read easily. It's always difficult to beat your existing insurance quote if you have been with them for a long time. To keep regularly swopping your insurance co on the basis of price alone is a false economy in the longer term. For your list, I'm with Direct Line.

ian_m Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 The GTi is certainly a car I would consider, Direct line quote= £387 Not bad for a 26yr old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Im with Direct line and when I did a quick quote with them before I ordered it was pretty much the same as the BMW £380(ish I can't remember exactly). Ive used them for years, they always seem to be competative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimad Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 [ QUOTE ] The GTi is certainly a car I would consider, Direct line quote= £387 Not bad for a 26yr old [/ QUOTE ] That's an understatement -- last I checked it was at least three times that for me with Direct Line, and I'm 24! How many years of no claims do you have, if you don't mind the ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the same as I pay and I'm considerably older than you with max no claims! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentandy Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 My premium was £530 with Admiral which includes my gf who has only been driving a couple of years and with 1 fault claim. I'm 30. I just tried confused.com and the cheapest I could get with the same details was £420 with norwich union! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182_blue Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 direct line £370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGa Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 norwich union rocks! ive done a few "practice quote" adjusting a few details so that im 17... i got a "rapid quote" which means i get a 9 months contract which helps me boost my NCB quicker. It also means i end up paying less in the long run. For my 1.0 Polo insurance was £2300 fully comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_m Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 it certainly is!!! Hence me not liking one of the comments in a different thread Why? is there a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 ....No, no problem whatsoever. I generally respect the law and safety is everything as far as I am concerned. The only 'problem' I have is not agreeing with the 70 mph limit on those roads which clearly allow greater speed when safe conditions of weather and traffic allow....But that's not a problem with you but just my democratic right to disagree with that particular law and have my own opinion.
