Default confused.com

yup, certainly left me confused because apparently my dad's not old enough to have a valid driving licsense or date of entry to the uk

and the same people are giving me 2 different prices beacuse they are generally cheaper on moneysupermarket.com

and no, i'm not on any comission either

but norwich union on one quote £455 but on the other want £548?

why am i going to fork out nealry £100 more for the same policy?

i can't understand it, which is why i'm confused

can anyone else find me insurance? greenlight have declined as the cars not modified enough and currently the renewal is close to £800

greenlight want a certain amount of mods, let me dig up the reply

We thank you for taking the time to complete an online quotation enquiry. Unfortunately the details entered into the system do not fit the required criteria for our specialist schemes. However, if the vehicle is standard or only has a few minor modifications, we would recommend that you contact A Quote on 0800 298 2836 who should be able to provide a competitive quotation for you. Additional Information: We are currently unable to quote this postcode sector.

dojj yes the details you entered did not meet their required criteria for their specialised policies, ie they will not give a specialised policy due to the postcode you supplied was not acceptable. after the full stop it advises a plan can help with lightly modded cars, (mainly due to the fact they are telling you they cannot quote currently) in no way does that reply state you do not have a car that isnt modified enough.

the top part of the email will be sent on all or most unsucsessful applications will receive this reply with the additional info line being added with the reason for decline
