5dr is 13 and 3dr is 14.
the 3dr is seen as 'more sporty' to the 'family' 5dr in the insures eyes.

Hi, I work for an insurance broker called Barry Grainger Ltd, I don't know if we can help but I can have a look if you give the office a call on (01892) 542736 My name is Tom. Otherwise the only people that I have found that seem to quote quite well are H.I.C, they advertise in all the VW magazines. ;)

I'm a bit older and have more no claims. But I tend to find as a relatively young driver of fast cars in London I get best quotes from Bell Direct and Sterling (part of Adrian Flux group). Worth a try...
Title: Re:Insurance quotes
Post by: OP on 11 January 2004, 13:49
36, full no claims, unlimited mileage etc for ?202 tpft with Direct Line. I know loads of people who have had trouble with HIC, myself included. They may quote cheap (when you finally get through th them!!!!) but they're a git for paying out. They insured me once and then 3 months later said they'd under quoted and I owed them ?300 :o Told them to sing for it and changed to Direct Line.

I paid just over ?2000 on my 8v at 17. Then again i knew a few dodgy people who sorted me out.

But the 1.3 shouldnt be ?2500! :o

I thought I'd seen that both the 5DR and 3DR were the same insurance group that being 13.

Title: Re:Insurance quotes
Post by: simg on 16 January 2004, 12:52
www.screentrade.co.uk are worth a look - got fully comp on an '88 8v, protected no claims (got over 5 years), for ?329.
31 year old with 6 points (SP30 and SP50).

Or try your local broker and haggle - most of them get a fairly hefty commision, so the first price isn't always the last...

If you ring up one of the direct (Norwich Union, Direct Line, etc.) insurers then they'll normally drop 10% without any real hassle.

It's arisk based commodity they're selling and I remeber not seeing the logic in paying as much (every year) to insure the car as it's worth, but it's the destruction you might cause to other's which is the big risk. Blame all those no-win no-fee lot for your rising premiums.

elephant.co.uk

they will beat anyone and great service, they knocked ?222 off my direct line quote.
Title: Re:Insurance quotes
Post by: Luke on 17 January 2004, 20:55
Yeah Im with Elephant also, and it was by far the cheapest quote I could get.
Im 23 now, but always been on my parents insurance until last year, so only 1 years no claims.
Ive told them I do 3500miles P/A and that my car has no mods, also, cat 2 and tracker which they didnt count!!!
I paid ?750 for 10 month bonus accelerator, then my renewal turned out as ?750 for the year with the one years no claims, tpft.
