Renewal Time - Mk5 GTi-T - Reducing My Quote?
« on: 14 May 2008, 12:13 »

Right,

The most painful time of year is upon me...renewal time... :cry:

Been insured on a 10 month bonus accelerator con policy with elephant.  I want to now change.  Partly due to the renewal popping through the letterbox with the grand discount of...

Zero.
Zip.
Nada.

 :angry:

So any ideas how to move on?  Been looking at websites profusely over the last few days and cant get the quote to reduce:

26.
1 years NCB (ish).
No accidents within last 5 years.
2 SP30's (in 2003, five years old, the last one of which 'runs out' this October).
Good postcode (I think - rural Hertfordshire).
Only Social, Domestic and Pleasure - I dont commute.
Only 8000 miles per year.

£867.

Does this sound fair?  One annoying point is that my tiny village where no-one has even heard of the term "crime" has a Stevenage postcode, where the inhabitants will almost certainly have heard the term before.  Is there anyway of getting insurers to recognise my location better?

Parked on a private driveway all day.

Ill bite the bullet if I need too and I accept its a group 17 car (which IS lots of fun  :evil:)

Can anyone suggest anything?  Company's etc?  Methods for reducing the quote?

Many Thanks, Jim
