Re: What car insurance company are you with?
HIC just quoted me for a 2001 Clio 172, standard with no mods, 3000 miles, £1500 value, protected max NCB:
£550 TP,F&T
£625 FC.
It's all about where you live.
I went through the list last April to get ins on the 1.1 litre Fiat Cinquecento.
They mostly quoted:
£600 to £1000 !!!! FC, 3000 miles, £1500 value, some mods. They are avalable used with no mods in good condition for £600.
HIC and Avira were the only ones to really try and get the sale. Quoted about £360. I went for TP,F&C with HIC for £220 in the end as I was already with them. Insured to drive other cars and agreed valuation, but they didn't honour that and wouldn't do the valuation. I got a terse refusal with no explanation. I got the impression they didn't do it for anything under £2000.
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with?
I actually couldn't believe how good the quote was, she read out the list of modifications just to make sure I hadn't missed off the rollcage for that price!
Sky said it was the combination of rollcage and phase 1 Clio 172s going through a bad time that lead to their high qoute. They just couldn't get near to Sykes and Brentacre
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with?
Not a Renault but I insure the Subaru with Aviva. My renewal with HIC was getting near £700 last year. Aviva, fully comp, protected n/c, mod's declared - £317.
This was much lower than the so called specialists. I'm ringing them in the week to add the 5 to my policy and I'll let you know :agree:
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with?
Last year I was with Footman James - fully comp, mods declared etc for £430 had the renewal through last week and they wanted £583 :eek: so I rang them to see if they could do it any cheaper and they said they didn't even do discount for RTOC members :disagree:
So after ringing around I am now paying £291 - classic policy, fully comp, 8yrs NCB, with all mods, legal and breakdown cover from Graham Sykes. Well chuffed. :smokin:
They also said they will sort out agreed valuation if I send some photos in too. Just wish I had tried them last year.

Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
Are you able to state whether you have to garage the car over night or not required next to. Your policy details.
When I researched insurance last year I had to go with a standard company because I would not be storing it in a garage over night.
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
Most companies offer a discount if garaged over night. Some refuse to insure if not garaged when in certain post codes, as you've found.

I am just surprised that everyone garages their car at night all year round.

Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
WORD of WARNING.
I have nothing but problems with Adrian Flux, denied recieving my paperwork TWICE, have cancelled my insurance, charging me over £112 for the remainder of the cancelled policy....
But would lower that to £48 if i took another policy out with them.... & that policy would now cost £457 instead of the £285 it was 6 weeks ago.....
Not going with them, & they can take me to court... & will post this story everytime somebody mentions whho to get insurance with.
I highly recoment Graham Sykes.
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
I had an aggravating time just getting a quote from Flux. Bullying, aggressive, annoying, argumentative, unpleasant, salesman.
Then after all that he said because they are owned by the same parent comapny, or whatever, as HIC, who I was already with, he couldn't quote anyway.

Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)

Adrian Flux & HIC are owned by the same company
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
just paid my yearly sub with footman james very cheap :D
-
Re: What car insurance company are you with? Please vote in this poll :)
I've used flux for years and always been competitive and helpful on the phone for mods and changes etc.
however I've heard they are awful when it comes to a claim and actually paying out. touch wood I've never had to but I can't say it doesn't play on my mind, especially on the daily as it sees a lot of mileage.
as such there's a real possibility i'll be swapping this year to a competitor with a good rep for payouts for the daily and perhaps even the turbo next time if I decide to use it on the road more

Just taken out insurance today with Sureterm - £123.82. I allowed my previous policy with Barry Grainger to lapse by 5 days (didn't use the car!) and they had to do a new quote which was £60 odd more, so naturally I told them to do one. :)
