GTI Insurance + Business Use =?
« on: 26 August 2009, 16:28 »
Hi folks, I have read a number of articles on insurance on here, with recommendations for e.g. Greenlight & Adrian Flux etc

I wanted to hear from any members who have business use included on their policy, i.e. who offers it? (Currently with Zurich, renewal Oct)

I am trying to cut down the number of calls i have to make; both my wife and I have this cover on are main cars and as a named driver on the others - so we can swap cars if and when its needed, that way i get to drive the GTI more  :grin: (greenlight & adrian flux can't do this)

Any help or info appreciated  :wink:

Zurich are seriously shyte!  Twice in the past I needed to make a claim, both for fully non-fault accidents (independent witnesses and police reports both times confirming) - and both times, they SERIOUSLY fcuked me around.  :angry:  Avoid at all costs.

I'm with Zurich and can't fault them at all

i have business use included on my policy as i'm sometimes required to use my own car to attend meetings etc

thankfully haven't had to make a claim so can't comment on that side although i have my home & contents insurance with them too and they've bene ok to deal with

does help my old man is an insurance broker though so he shops around for the best deals and pushes thme for extra discount  :smug:

Avoid Admiral. They are really cheap, but rape you if you need to claim.

....and if you need to change the slightest thing regarding your policy.

They are possibly the worst insurance company i have ever dealt with but they are the cheapest so its to be expected.

I am with Privilege and they seem very good. Not needed to claim yet tho.....

Thanks for all the helpful info.

Just to clarify matters Greenlight will offer business use for the policy holder (wife) on the GTI, but won’t offer business use cover for the named driver (me) and won’t offer me cover on the Audi (non performance car) (maybe I should tune it :grin:)

I am waiting for my renewal premiums on both cars (c£500) each and then will have to do some ringing around; I will let you all know what unfolds.

I guess it would be a real headache if the GTI was modified :undecided:

I currently have my Wife's 58-Reg ED30 insured with Norwich Union (Aviva) for approx. £450 including business use.

...but, I have my 07-Reg Audi RS4 insured with More Than for an unbelievable £380 - Which also includes business use (that I don't even need)!
