Morning,
Noticed the ugly subject of insurance reared it's head in a previous posting. Does anybody have any recommendations of brokers that can cover a modded (engine and suspension) Mk11 8V for mostly commuting but also for track days?

HIC
works for me
40 quid for a 40bhp increase - regardless how you do it
-
Cool - do you have any contact details?
:D
-
I don't know if this is a good deal (but it is the cheapest i could find) - ?1000 for TPFT on mrk2 8v with 2years ncb and 20 years old. I am with adrian flux
-
Cheers - Should be cheaper for a 32 year old duffer then... ;)
-

I'm paying ?360 Fully comp on an MkII 8v GTi with Norwich Union, although they want to charge me an additional ?39 for a modded exhaust + another ?39 for an induction kit >:(
What insurance company is HIC and what is the web site address??
-
Whats the best company to use for a 30 year old with 4 years no claims?
-
I'm only a little younger than you (28) and do well with Bell Direct. They charge very little extra for mods (and you can check the cost of mods on their online quote). I'm paying about ?350 TPFT with full no claims on a 16v, but this is on the street in central london. Don't know about track day cover but they're helpful with most things.
-
Cheers, i might give them a go :D

HIC is Herts Insurance Company, but they dont have a web site. They quoted me ?440 for Fully comp with 4yrs NCB, 1 non-fault claim and track day cover (25 yr old). In the end though I went with Barry Grainger Ins broker (www.barrygrainger.force9.co.uk) and got fully comp for ?410. By the way thats on a mk3 8v GTI
-
Im 34 16v, park on the road in central london, FNCB. ?450 full comp with Elephant.co.uk
-
not bad ;D
-
I'm 22 with 2 years ncd and i pay ?520 fully comp for my G reg 16v through elephant.co.uk. They have always been the cheapest i could find!!
:D
-
I think elephant and budget are worth a try.
-
Check exactly what your getting regards hire cars and excess etc. Sometimes the cheapest isnt always the best. After a bad experience with a broker I know use directline.
-
Yep always check the small print ;)
-
Tried Budget and Elephant but both came back with high premiums, which I wasn't overerly impressed with especially as I already have a policy with elephant...
Went with HIC (cheers!) found them quick and helpful and staffed by like minded people, track day cover is included and came out at ?340 for a 150bhp MK2 GTI.
Which was nice.
Sod the Norwich Union, HIC quoted me happy!
-
I'm paying ?1014 fully comp for my '87 8v Gti.
I'm 21 with 0 NCB, sp30 and 1 claim in the last 3 years.
That's with AXA
I called them up today to tell them I had an alarm on there and mentioned wheels and mods. She added my 15's to the policy for no extra :D
I then asked about putting the later doors on (wing mirrors at the front instead of halfway down the door) and she said that was fine. As long as they're a direct replacement that's fine. I said it was hard getting parts so that was all I could get and she was ok with it :D Bargin. That covers my big bumpers, leccy recaro's, crystal lights, 4 bar single light grill too :D
Excellent.

Do HIC have a website, please can someone post contact details for them as I'd like to see how much they quote me :-\
