Insurance- Who is cheap?

[mk3miniturbo]

Just had my renewal through and it has gone up again.  My insurance now stands at £379.  I have 7 years no claims, been driving 10 years and have a clean license.

It has gone up £45 ish becuase I have another years no claims, theres justice for you.  Insurance said they can do better....... heres the catch "if I find it cheaper elsewhere".

So much for HIC there getting binned this year.

Standard GTi 8v lowered.... thats it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks very much

I always shop arround. Its the only way you get a decent price. Try the usual online searches

and also give a few other companies web sites a go. I usually find tesco very good.

Also give Greenlight a go, very cheap for me last year

Believe it or not - The Post Office!

They quoted me £290 tpf&t with a 3 point speeding conviction and only 3 yrs no claims

And ya get £50 cash back!

Swiftcover quoted me happy!!!  Just over £400 fully comp for my 96 GTI, while all the usuals wanted well over £600!!!!!?! Some wanted well over £1000   I cant understand why the companys want so much from me?

Hi mate, sorry to hear about your renewal, i work on sales for hic but if you wanna pm me your policy number and/or a phone number i can look into it for you if you want. Renewals is not really my dept but bet i could get something sorted out.

Hope this helps, cheers

ps. be wary of standard insurers, dunno if you have an agreed value with us or not but insurers like tesco, swiftcover, post office etc will only usually pay out book price on a mk2 (so about 300!) and most i,ve seen on here are worth a lot more. Pay for what you get sometimes....

700 pounds on the audi fully comp from Norwich Union


p.s Len is cheap!

Insurance is always a bit hit and miss - even spelling your name wrong on an online quote can mean a price difference beleive it or not 

Elephant.co.uk come up cheapest for me

Like Martin mentions - you need to be careful on what cover you are actually getting. Pay 3k for your mint late mk2, insure it with some average broker and get 750 when you write it off What an ethusiast actually values a car at and what 'normal' price the insurers work on can be a long way out.
