Insurance again!

[adrian w]

It's time to insure my Renault again.....The M400 went up by £300 over last year. The Renault was insured with NU Direct, they didnt send a reminder and are now no bidding it. The cheapest quote i can get is four times as much.....................whats going on.

I heard on the radio last week that all car insurance is set to increase by 40% are things about to get very silly.

It's only increasing by 40% for young drivers (17-25 I think). Can't wait to see what my next insurance quote will be. 'young male living in Essex' so clearly that means im going to drive a 1.1 Nova with Halfords spoiler into a tree.
If its only for your Renault i'd give Elephant a go. They were ok for me.

Only a Renault...? try race-prepped Spyder??

Dont think Adrians Renault is a run of the mill ...spider i believe.

Adrian..try A-Plan..they were £100 cheaper for me than MSM.

Pah..race-prepped Spyder? I had to insure a Clio with 1600cc of pure muscle

They did know honest, someone just told me to try Green Light, they specialise in tuned and unusuall cars............oh just got a call From NUD customer services, "they have changed thier policy and no longer insure this type of car" and she didnt even know what that meant.

Another vote for A-plan

I just went with A-Plan too....they were £100 cheaper than Tesco renewal (have been with Tesco on the Noble for 2 years)

[williams f1]

thats cool didnt know about aplan when i insured mine will try them next year its good to know there are at leased two so you can play one against the other

sounds like Aplan are the ones for you

Green light were brilliant, insured it with a company called Highway. Agreed value, trackdays £50 each Everything declared.:

Would you believe my best quote came from privilege (£450) for a 2002 2.5 M12. I have to admit I live a reasonable area, 40ish and lots of no-claims but no harm in trying. If not then First Alternative (part of Esure) have been very good up to this year.

Privilege was best for me (part of RBS/DL)

Me too

I found Privelege / A-Plan were about the same, but Privelege wouldn't offer any NCD from my (previous) company car. Tesco weren't far off in fairness.

Privilege/Direct Line/Tesco

All the same company

Yes, they use the same quoting engine as Direct Line as far as I know (D. Line are the only ones I can get to quote a reasonable price).
