Just got my renewal in for my everyday car

Whos doing the cheepest deals just now?

I've just gone with HIC. Saved me £100 over Adrian Flux's renewal and given me £5k guaranteed value (book price on the car is ~£1.5k)

Renewal was £580 all in for my 306 Cabrio running the 3.0 V6 engine and all mods declared. I'm 25 with 4 years NCB and a clean licence.

Just renewed my normal car.

Cheapest I found (and I tried loads) was MoreThan.

I have always found Footman James cheapest for the Viento and the Jag

It was for my normal car too. Phoned round a few and the cheepst was still my renewal at £493.50... complained and they gave me it for £448 so took that. Still seems expensive though. Last year had a 4 year old TT (yawn) and full insurance plus protection was £210, changed to what i thought was more normal car... WRX and not only has fuel consumption rocketed so too has the insurance

I could barely get an insurance company to quote me for the A6 quattro apart from afew that were askin insane amounts like £2500 an £3000 but i phoned admiral and they were askin just under £900 so i took it as it was the cheapest I could find .still think i'm paying too much, i'm not that bad of a driver am I?

try confused.com
Always come up with some good comparisons.

Currently, both of our normal cars are covered by Egg - offering £50 cashback and interest-free payments....

I've certainly found Admiral/Elephant to be the cheapest for me.

I'm 25, 2yr NCB and pay around £600 for my Puma (I had to declare an SP30 and 1 accident - my fault)

Bizarrely a Supra Twin Turbo is about the same cost to insure! Most expensive car I got a quote for from Admiral was a Boxster S at £2500.

Elephant are a pain to claim from.

I had some scum nick my stereo and the claim was dealt with mainly by email.

All their staff have stupid job titles like "Head trainer" or "Elephant handler"

Even though I had protected NCB my renewal premium went up by 67%

Its elephant I am with and just renewed with...

Considering getting rid of the Subaru and going back to just driving old audi's with more than 100,000 miles on the clock...


quattromike - 5/8/05 at 03:21 PM

well when your ready i've got one sitting here waiting for you


shades - 5/8/05 at 04:23 PM

What you got?

Had and done:
Series II 80CL,
Series II 80 sport,
Series II 90 Coupe,
Series III 80 1.8S,
Series IV 80 2.3 E,
Series IV Coupe 16V
Series IV Coupe S2
and TT

TT made me jump to Subaru, Great car but terrible reliability, and was starting to rust...


quattromike - 6/8/05 at 07:49 AM

it's a 91J 80 quattro 2L 16valver running the 6A motor . not near the power my current car has but boy it's fun to drive. getting a bit run down now though and i don't have the time for it now so it's just takin up space in the drive as i can't bare to see it go, but i'll have to do something with it.

If it had been the 2.3 10 or 20V then I might be interested, but I had the 2.0 16V in a coupe and did'nt like it. Could'nt put my finger on it but it always seemed noisy and didnt like to be reved.

my 17 year old got insured with tesco - far cheaper for his age than any other company but still ballistic none the less. Tesco have an easy, not too many questions, online quoting system

Ah it must of been the 3A engine this one loves the revs and is noisy but thats part of the fun
