AMV8 Insurance - Boring, Apologies...

[jonamv8]

Hi all,

New to the forum being a regular over at Porsche...

About to purchase a AMV8, 07 Plate - £47.5k - Nothing Unusual. Didn't think about insurance, thought it would be the same as my 911, about £1,200-£1,500 a year. Just had quote - £3k(DirectLine)! Best I can get this evening is £2.8k(KwikFit)... Ouch, hadn't factored that in to be honest!!

Im 26(27 in Sep), 9 Years Full UK License, 2 Years No Claims, No Accidents. One Conviction driving without due care and attention. 7 Points on my license.

Any recommendations for where I should try? Going to Give A.Flux a call first thing tomorrow as I see their sticky on the forum. Anyone close to my set of circumstances that would like to tell me what they got their insurance for and who from?

Any help appreciated Ladies & Gents,

Jon

I really think your going to stuggle with that history/age and only 2 years NCD......best of luck

[livinthedream]

Try Aviva, see the other ongoing thread about insurance.

[jonamv8]

Im thinking the same, can't beat £2,700 right now. Age and History as you say.

Tried Aviva - Competitive but around the above figure.

Guess I need to decided how much I want one of these, from what I hear they are worth it???

try elephant- got mine for 1600 ish last year- first ever/new policy, 27yers old, no NCD

[mikey k]

Try Chris Knott - just got mine on Chubb/Locktons via them

[Murph7355]

I suspect the points and the reason for them are what'll be hurting most.

I use Footman James. Very good service IME over the last few years. Be worth giving them a go, but suspect you're likely to get a similar quote.

btw, they are worth it

Good luck.

Also try putting your mum on the policy also - saved me £300 with elephant.

[christer]

try Michael Ward Associates - they saved me 40% this year! (Ben Stagg)

[bogie]

I lost all my NCB 2.5 years ago and started driving again this year after a big accident....just turned 40, live in a village, low risk area

mainstream insurers wanted £3500 to insure me on my Vantage, via a broker ended up with a Tradex fleet policy with the girlfriend for £2K (between 2 of us) up to 4 cars, max value £50K each car, up to 6 bikes

basically they take into consideration, the highest risk driver, the most expensive car, total value of fleet, and ALL the NCB available - so she had 5 years to apply to it

we both build up seperate NCB on the policy too

so a good way of getting someone elses NCB to help you, and very flexible way to insure if you have multiple vehicles ...prior to my accident we were paying £600-1000 on each car and had 4 cars, so total cost now is much less.....

Try a broker like A-plan private client. They were reasonable and are used to dealing with stuff that verges on the prestige end of the market.

Failing that my mate uses a Chubb multi-vehicle policy which he swears by. No idea of the cost.
