The car insurance comparison thread

[V_Arse6]

Car spec Mk3 VR6
Car age: 1995
Mods: PiperCross Induction
Car value: £1800
Car security:  Cat 2 immobiliser

Driver age: 27
male/female: Male
Driver no-claims: none
Approx location: Bath, South-west UK
Driving convictions: none

Insurance cover (3rd party, fully comp) - TPFT (will change this on first renewal.. but for now cost prohibits)
Insurance company: HIC
Insurance company tel number/website: www.hertsinsurance.com

Insurance price: £1172    (not held licence long - 20months, also got a couple of claims against me )

Considering the cover, and the fact that's fully-legal (previous owner was a bit naughty about declaring the filter.. silly ), I'm quite happy...   Or put it this way:  It's twice what I was paying for my old escort, but I'm several thousand times as happy with the car

Martin at Highway did try and get me a qoute and i reckon he may have been able to match it, but as i have CCJ's (only for council tax!!), Highway would not quote through HIC. It is weird how the other company got me insured through Highway even though i had told him what happened with HIC.
