    GSI here as well .
    Did go up quite a bit this renewal but still under £600 . £15k car value ,1k excess + Me-Dawny on policy to drive owned cars .
    Should have paid in full though as that added another £95 to spread over the year

    No ,fully comp Robbo .Up to 15k single car value ,1k excess .I'm road testing customers cars etc so tpft wouldn't be much use .
    Reminds me ......I must up the cover for the unit and home storage now .Adds another 200 odd for 30k value at both places + public liabilty .
    As with all you never know how good it is until you really need it but I'm fully legal at least and cross fingers won't need to find out
