Insurance

[yabadaba]

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend an insurance company to me?

I paid a deposit today on a 2001 Z28 Camaro, which I'll hopefully be taking possession of in around 1 months time (after SVA, MOT, service etc). I've tried a couple of places today, with the best quote being approx £720 for 12 months comprehensive, with a 5k mileage limit. Given that I've now turned 40 I was hoping at least one consolation would be cheaper insurance! Will pay whatever I have to, but was hoping to get something around the £500 mark.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
David

Look at the head of this section!

A-plan!

A Plan or Adrian Flux. My Camaro cost me under £500 last year on an unlimited mileage basis with business use as well. Shop around and you will do much better.

MCE are popular too, but some people have had bad issues with them too.

A-Plan. Especially if you're planning any mods (and they do need mods).

Get yourself a copy of Classic American magazine, http://www.classic-american.com , loads of choices and info there.

I use Aon for my Dart and Footman James for my Camaro

I just renewed with Sureterm. Their renewal quote for my 1999 Z28 was around £360 - and they offered 10% for Yank car club membership OR Yank CAR FORUM membership. Apparently I've got 21 days from renewal date to get that sorted. So if any of you belong to a Yank car club forum you should be able to get discount that way as well. Apparently they just need the admin/owner to send confirmation.

I was looking at a couple of clubs anyway but very handy to know.

Maybe I'm old but no company has ever been remotely interested in that as a factor when I take out insurance. Weird isn't it, how they chop and change dependent on who is applying.

I'm old too - they ain't doing me favours for being part of the internet generation!

They classed Yank car forums alongside clubs as a sign of caring ownership. You're more likely to be an enthusiast if you're a member I suppose - and therefore less likely to trash your car. Strange they include forums though, not heard of that one before.
