GTD Insurance quote
« on: 14 May 2013, 18:49 »
Just phoned my car insurance provider and pleasantly surprised that the new gtd will only be £30 more to insure until next march. Considering the value is much more than the tiguan I'm happy with that. Means come renewal time I'm looking at circa £200 for a full years cover  :laugh:

Blinking heck mcmaddy. Are you in a real low risk postcode area or just really old (or both)  :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously, £200 for a full year that's incredible. I'm 50 this year, with a good driving record, no convictions etc, car parked on driveway each night, 10k per year and just the wife and myself on the policy (she's 45). With protected NCB, courtesy car and legal, I'm currently paying just over £300 per year on my Rocco (a 2.0 TDI Bluemotion GT), and that's a few insurance groups lower than the GTD I've ordered.

I'm with directline as well.

I looked at insurance about a month ago. Currently on £360 a year on the cheapest deal available in Nov on the comparison sites (the "not on comparison site" insurers like Direct Line and Aviva were poor value for me).
Current Roc price for me if I were doing a year now are about £280 (esure and Sheilas wheels) - presumably the big drop is down to the gender equality stuff coming in for Dec. The closest comparison for a MK7 GTD is insurance on a MK6 GTD (assuming same risk - 15 more PS, but a raft more safety features), coming in at about £230 with protected no claims - very pleased about that. 37 years old, about 11 years no claims, no convictions. I'm in a low risk occupation too - try getting a good price if you are a builder!

I'm with "onequotedirect" who have a £50 admin fee to change anything, whether or not they want more for (potentially) a riskier car.

I'm 39 with no convictions etc etc etc. Car parked on road outside of house as garaged or driveway doesn't make any difference to an insurance company any more. With more than insurance but I do get discount for having other insurance with them. Direct line have never been competitive for me but I do spend a couple of hours each year on all the comparison websites looking for the best deal. I never let the insurance just roll over from a renewal. I should be paying about 230ish next year with 14 yrs ncb, business use and protected no claims. Its taken years of careful driving to get it down this low mind!

No affiliate money for my cheapest quote, so I got a meerkat for the missus instead.

Who are you insured with mate? I'm with Direct Line.

Are you taking your number off your current car so that you'll have the retention certificate for the dealer to register the new car with James? They will try to charge you as much as £25 to amend your policy details, but if you pull your face, they should do it for free.

Exactly mate, the dealer was originally going to do it as my new car was going to be sat at the dealers for 2 months but now it seems that it'll be arriving in sept so could do with having the certificate rather than having to wait upto another 3 weeks for the DVLA to turn round the registration, tbh it's all new to me but it looks like it's going to cost me another £105 to re-register my current car which i'm assuming the dealer will pay me back although i need to check. :angry:

Plus like you say it could end up costing me another £50 to change the reg on the current policy and then change the car on it!? Getting expensive! :cry:
