hi guys

I've been looking into insurance for a small turbo escort (in standard trim) and it's on the high side i'm 25, 6 years no claims , 3 points sp30 , to be kept on a drive which has a locked gate , cat 1 and a tracker doing about 12-15k a years, car is about £13000 in value .

quotes so far

autotrader insurance £1856
admiral £ 1534 (best so far)
aa £ 3700

I've not tried the performance insurance companies yet which should lower it some what . Do you guys think 1200 would be unrealistic

Have you tried tesco m8 ?

whitevanman

kl-mortiss

whitevanman

Greenlight mate, the'll hopefully be best by far !! 01277 263030

whitevanman

Don't use Tesco or Directline. They might be cheap, but they are c**ts when trying to make a claim.
Try a local broker. You never know.
Also most of the cheapo's don't do agreed value, and do you know what is the book price of a Cossy these days?
£8-9000 I guess.

dave green

M.A.D.RST

How much???? Your joking right
Mate when i got my first escos i was 25 and it was £860, but now im paying less

whitevanman

can you tell me where he got his insurance from . quoteline come back to me with £1083. which i think is petty good coz i'm payin £750 on my 20v turbo golf right now .

cos jon

Have you tried Greenlight mate ??, i should think the majority of people on here are with them !!!, they were around £300 quid cheaper for me !!

priviledge were a total waste of time when i tried them,they were laughable,maybe they are only good with unmodded examples??

whitevanman

i'm going to try greenlight tomorrow . do you think fixed value is the way to go or is it a lot of extra money for a small return if nicked or a wirte off .

redrsmk5

try and get really low mileage per annum if you can, you said earlier that you would do 12-15k per year....will you really???? if not get it lower it will make a big difference to the quote. i have 4k maximum per year on mine,it all depends whether you will use it everyday or as a 2nd car.

whitevanman

i'll do 12k-15k i live in paisley but come from newcastle so i go home and that adds the miles up .

whitevanman

greenlight will do me it for £814 for a standard car and £857 for a stage 3

there were great and offer me a very good package but i still think i can go lower

think postcodes!!!! or are you all living in the same house-lol,no one has mentioned agreed yearly milage!! it works just ask your broker. some even ask for four sided photos to show no mods!!!! (after market wheels etc),
insurance assessors are on the ball these days you.ll loose your claim with uprated bulbs fitted if you dont declair them!!!!!.just remember your not insured if you dont declair- there not not in the game to pay out!!.so onwards.-cental notts/45 years old!! small turbo modded /3 points speeding (off this march) £450 fully comp max no claims (and i mean donkeys years!!)-agreed milage/garaged inc tracker /cat 1(might need to see installer certificate for you).

Have you tried to claim through them though

PT

no mate got the cos and my daily drive insured through them. cos in on limited mileage of 2000 miles a year agreed valuation.
have you had a bad experience with them mate

MATCOS

iTrader: (1)

I work in Insurance and havent heard many good things said about them-sorry , maybe these are isolated cases but to be honest it tends to be the cheaper the premium the worse the cover.
I hope they prove me wrong if the worst was to happen though mate

PT

might be worth a shop around next time then, will need to renew policy before cos is next on road so have to keep eye on this thread see who peeps use.
cheers Matt
