mccombie_5 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Not for me for once, dad's askd me to get a quote for the Vectra online because he isn't online at home. I've got a good start but are there any insurers I should know about? It's a totally standard 1.8 Vectra and dad has full no claims/convictions.

simonb Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Confused.com seemed expensive to me - sure you can find cheaper by ringing around yourself. My Mrs has been with Tesco last 2 years - miles cheaper than anyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccombie_5 Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Cheers will give Tesco a go, confused.com seems expensive to me too. His current insurers (Zurich) have put it up to over £400 so he's changing for his renewal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Norwich Union and Quote Me Happy campaign, seems to be for the 'older, safer' driver. Useless to me, but never mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisel Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Elephant & Norwich Union. I'd say NU would be cheaper, but leave them if you ever claim. A mate claimed for 4 slashed tyres on his A4 Avant & they bumped up his premuim by 25% despite a protected NCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccombie_5 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Cheers folks Anyone used Quinn Direct? I just got a very suspiciously cheap quote off them whilst he was here.... £237, everyone else wanted £400+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbera Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I've found Direct Line to be very competitive in the past on certain cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadW Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Direct line are ok but if you own a coupe car that has frameless windows like mine or an Audi TT go somewhere else as their Autoglass service can fit the glass but cannot reset the window mech for you.

mccombie_5 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Directline, in this case, arent very forgving of his wife's SP30. I told him to leave her off the policy and put me on instead, but no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saab Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I use Chris Knott - don't have the details to hand (Google them - Hawkhurst Kent I think) but I've always found them pretty good and they will usually beat/match an online quote.

mccombie_5 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Esure didn't come out bad at all actually, £353 compared to his current insurer Zurich who wanted £430 to renew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounce Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 have you tried Here it should get you a good few quote's in one hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 If you want, HIC Herst Insurace Consultants are worth a try, and if you use "Absolutemini" as a discount code you can get an extra 10% off - phone call only though I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I was trying some websites today because my insurance is up for renewal at the end of the month. DirectLine - £437 Priviledge - £450 Admiral - £451 Prudential - £459 Tesco - £525 Norwich Union - Won't quote me. MoreThan - Won't quote me. ESure - Won't quote me. Whenever I try a site that goes and tries multiple companies [like the one on Autotrader or Hastings or Swinton, etc], the best they came up was always approx £1300!

mccombie_5 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Cheers Kate I didn't realise autotrader did that! I'll let him know about it, I'll do online but I'm not phoning places for him, I don't mind giving him the number though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
