gutted...
« on: 12 April 2006, 17:18 »
i'm gutted and need consoling!  :cry:

i've just found out the insurance company i'm with on my driver wo't insure me on a cab! so i'll have to lose a years no claims or wait til december til i renew! to get insured!

i still haven't got money from insurance yet either, but when it comes through i  guess i've got longer to wait unti i can get one! but i'm looking at august when they'll next payout!  :angry:

maybe 2007 is the year of the cab for me!

What did they say when you asked them about changing cars ?

I know a lot of places will refuse to give people a new quote on higher risk cars, but if you simply change the policy they ask for more money and let you get on with it. Happened to me when i first bought my 1.8T.

i was looking into changing cars, i told them money wasnt an option, but its something to do with engine size, and them being classed as a "sports car" due to being convertible, my age also doesn't help!

topher.. i was expecting a bashing!

if you're planning that far ahead might be worth switching insurance companies now? only lose a few months then as opposed to august. Or have a parent insure the cab with you as a named until the current policy is up?

I'd wait... as you said you havent even got the payout yet... and atleast if you know its gonna be december before u can insure it that'll give you plenty of time between payout and the day you can insure so you wont get over-eager to buy and can shop around and find a cab you really like. :)
