Cheap Insurance
Discussion
That time of year again when my little trickle is due for renewal on the old car insurance (something I hate). After 3 days of ringing around the best deal I got was......A Plan Insurance tel no 01635 874646 - got the name and no from Sprint. I paid £459 (ok i'm old but young at heart).
Give them a ring I spoke to Richard who drives a Seat Leon Cupra R 225 (isn't that a Golf in disguise) he was rather punchy when i mentioned this, he he he

Having lost my Chim in an accident I just want to say that I was insured with Norwich Union and they were exemplary in how they dealt with the write off. In about 3 weeks I had a cheque.
A couple of friends have had problems of late with their cars. One was trashed on the street, seriously damaged, and they had gone with the cheapest quote with an almost unknown insurer and they are still waiting for the company to sort out the insurance some 8 weeks later.
I'm not advocating going for the most expensive but just letting you know my experience. My wife needed to insure her car recently, moved from a company car, and she went with Norwich on the basis of my experience. It was 100 quid more expensive but if they deal with any accident as well as mine it will be 100 quid well spent.
Out of interest have others had better response to claims from the "big names" than the smaller less well known insurance companies?
Before you ask I am not affiliated with Norwich Union in any way I work in Biotech.

Just spoke to A Plan myself and they have cut my premium renewal quote by 30% as well. No track day cover - which is what is still making me torn between them and A Manning - but a substantial decrease. Their motor policies are through Groupama if memory serves.
Anyone any experience of them - especially in claiming??

Just saved a further £70 Cost: £252, yes £252... This include breakdown recovery, £50 excess windscreen, £150 excess on fire and theft etc. 90 days European cover. However, this is for an S3 with no garage and a limited private mileage of £5000. - Still pretty good in my opinion!
Can anybody beat this????
As for 'A plan' they wanted £500 - different league!

Mr Moose - your company are bleedin' brilliant. Just spoke to Claire and she sorted out a quote which under half of my current premium and miles better than the renewal quote from my current insurers who wanted to wildly increase my premium for no apparent reason....
Recommended!!Another vote here for Heritage - £110 less than Norwich union and they throw in track day cover ! Most of the specialist TVR insurers still wanted silly money for me as my baby lives on the drive and I only have 3 years No claims. Even though the claim against me was a no fault one for a scratch incurred in a car park on a company car. Seems the general outlook is that its a claim, regardless of who was at fault, or the fact that the damage was only about £250. Wishing now Id just stumped up the £250 and had it repaired myself. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I'll give A-Plan the thumbs up.
Got home last night to find my first speeding fine on the doorstep and i've not even picked the Chim up yet.
Anyway, just spoke to them asking how much the premium was going to increase with the SP30 on my licence and there's no increase
Guess there's so many people out there with points that 3 doesn't make any diference.
As for getting done for 82 in a 70, that's another matter
