Sorry, it was £38 to cover the remaining 8 months, but still not bad - age has some benefits:)

If you dont declare it your insurance would have been invalid. What if you then seriously injure/kill someone and have to pay the hundreds of thousands of pounds compensation?


Anyway more to the point, how are you finding the map? :cool:

Ah, that'd probably be it. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 26.

My situation probably wasn't helped by the fact that the guy in India had truly no idea what i was trying to get a quote for. Even after I spelled it out. I'm sure Directline have some english call centres - might try each number until I get lucky.


Edit: Just called back, managed to speak to someone who knew what I was talking about. £452 increase for stage 1 remap.  :cry:

Ouch!! have you tried the likes of HIC / Greenlight (both forum sponsors) or Brentacre

More likely to get a much better deal  :wink:

Yeah, I've been meaning to look into them for a while. I think Greenlight came recommended. It's probably snobbery/stupidity but I've always been a bit more apprehensive about going with the smaller insurance companies. Chances are, though, that they'd look after me a lot better than Direct Line and their delightful ilk...

Agrre with everyones comments posted a re-map SHOULD be mentioned to the insurance company at least if the worst happens you know your covered and won't find out in the event of needing to claim your cover is invalid always best to mention stuff to your insurance company really
