Feeling much better this afternoon and ringing round for quotes on forthcoming car purchase.

I will be buying a 3 door cos, stg 3 - 320 BHP, 18"s, AP 4 pots and Koni suspension. Have a spare year to go on from S2 I sold at the wknd, and 2 years on daily driver.

Had SO many companies refuse as under 25.

I'm waiting on Greenlight to email me back and just have HIC to phone - best price so far has been Brentacre from back of Fast Ford at £1594.70!!!

I've tried - Adrian Flux, Boncaster, Performance Direct, A Plan, Sky, Chris Knott, AON, Peter Best, Michael Ward, Endsleigh (!), Cover Sure/Term and 1 more I can't remember!

Anyone recommend anyone else?

 

Greenlight always sorted me out with my 3DR

 

Greenlight here buddy

p.s dont forget to mention you are a passionford member

 

i had my saff insured with greenlight for just over £600 when i was 25

with only 3 yrs ncb and london post code

 

HIC always sorted me out. Try and get it on classic insurance as that will be cheaper and limit your mileage.

I bought mine when I was 26 and paid adrian flux £210 0 for a fully comp policy (not classic). Then the following year went to HIC and it was £1500 and year after that 1000, then 850 and finally waqs quoted 650 this year.

All mods delcared to 400bhp too.

 

Just off the phone to Neil at HIC - very helpful and down to £1508.

Greenlight are gonna have to go some to beat that!

 

was that on classic?

if you increase your excess your overall quote goes down

 

Its a policy with equity red star. I can't get the classic at the min as they won't cover my age (24) for 300+ brake. My S2 was on the classic which was pretty cheap!

XS is £450 for HIC compared to £750 for Brentacre - TBH I'm prefering slightly less XS incase the worst happens! I'm gonna call Greenlight in a min cos I hate waiting for emails!!

 

is classic cheaper than a normal insurance?

 

Just as I was about to call them, my email arrived:



SUPERB NEWS!!!!!

CHEERS TONY AND ALL AT GREENLIGHT!

 

Hi Chez,

Having just seen your post, can you PM me your actual name and postcode - then I'll be able to check progress for you.

Kind regards

Tony

 

Just searched for 3dr, 300BHP Cosworth - think ive found your quotation.

It's already been replied to using a talk21 e-mail address, but if you havent received this i'll send again.

Kindest regards

Tony

 

Diamond insurance for me everytime

£550 FC

 

I have it now, excellent quote, you guys will have my business.

 

i take it you spoke to bufty then mate

what u worried about them insurance quote for, they are only a little more than i pay for my RS2000

 

just out of interest what price did you get Chez?

 

Yep.

£892!!

 

good result

 

Hi Chez,

Just to clarify, the policy is not a classic car contract, it's based upon our one of our modified car schemes which unlike classic policies actually accrues NCB.

Classic car policies do not require NCB and although they can be quite competitive your NCB is not in use and will expire after 2 years.

With regard to your cover under the modified contract - in addition to the traditional cover you expect from comprehensive cover polcies this also includes like-for-like replacement of individually damaged/stolen modified parts, agreed value is available and track cover is available on a per-event basis from the Underwriter concerned.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Tony

 

anothe happy greenlight customer

Tony i'll be back to you guys next year...started saving already, and the donkey diesel will be gone it time for something suitbale for lemans 2008

may not be a ford, but it will definately be a little exciting, and i'll be calling you guys first

 

It just getting better!!

Can't believe within the space of an hour I can half my premium and XS, and keep/accrue NCB.

Excellent work, and I shall be recommending Greenlight as first port of call from now on!

Thanks again Tony.

 

Glad to hear it buddy.

You'd been with us so long that the place just doesnt seem the same without you

Kind regards

Tony

 

i just sent my details off to greenlight for a quote as i think im bein ripped off at the mo...

hope they come up trumps

 

I cant do an online quote as I havent got another email addy other than hotmail

 

Vroom,

You can still use hotmail, but you will need to add greenlight to your safelist before you apply.

Due to our sending a quote guarantee and details via e-mail for our potential customer to retain for each application made, we do send an awful lot of e-mails each day.

Whilst these are genuine (ie not spam) the enhancements to Hotmail accounts in terms of their spam/junk filter often mean that our e-mails unfortunately end up there.

We have contacted Microsoft three times in an attempt to resolve, but they are such a goliath of a company and the best they could offer for a sizeable fee would be around a 25% improvement in receipt of mail.

With this in mind we backed off and continued our development of an automated process, which will be available next year.

In the meantime, if you have a hotmail address you can still apply online with that address - but in the event that you do not receive a reply simply call our office and we will be able to trace your online application.

Alternatively, you could set yourself up with another free address that has greater flexibility (such as gmail - google mail or similar).

Kind regards

Tony

 

hiya tony. I have a series 1 escort turbo, with 5 years NCB. Im 24, no dodgy history. What could you do for me? car needs insuring ASAP as it ran out 2 weeks ago. best i have had so far is £350 with 5000 limited miles and protected NCB.

Cheers!
Mike

 

CAROL NASH in 26 with 3dr only pay £280 on classic policy

 

Wow tony you are very helpfull,

Im gonna set myself up a google mail account and get busy as ive just picked up a non custom series 2 that maybe be used for the odd track day......Also i would prefer to use a company that will not penalise you for having modifications aswell

Cant wait to see what they come up with

 

Hi Mike,

We can certainly cover the vehicle and your record does sound good, but I think our comprehensive cover minimum premium for a 24 year old is above £350.

So although we can offer the cover you need (like for like mods replacement, Protected NCB, track cover option etc), until you turned 25 we'd be more than the quote you've already had.

If you have 5 mins spare and still wish to see what we can do, simply log onto www.greenlightinsurance.com we'd be happy to do our best for you.

Im just mindful that due to the type of cars we Insure our minimum premiums will impact upon what we can offer.

Kind regards

Tony

 

greenlight came up trumps on my quote £1000 cheaper than im paying now...!!!!

BUT... BUDGET (RIPOFF) want £500 + to cancel my existing policy

so im stuck...


god im angry...

 

JUST SO EVEYONE KNOWS, BUDGET INSURANCE ARE AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF, DONT TOUCH THEM, ONCE THEY TOOK YOUR MONEY THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT, CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!

NEXT YEAR I'L DEFO BE USING GREENLIGHT !!!!!!

 

Just got my quote through from greenelight,

But i have a ? where the first number goes on the price it reads

Estimated premium: ?82.70 (inc insurance premium tax at 5%) based upon the details provided by you and with yourself only driving

Just waiting to get in touch now

 

Tony @ Greenlight, Thanks for that, will give it a try! Always more than helpfull

 

£482 Fully comp with all mods declared how cool is that!!!!

 

Does anyone know whether Greenlight Full comp insurance covers you to drive any other car (with the owners permission)?

Cheers

 

I do..

As a rule of thumb, if you are aged 25 or over (doesnt have to be comprehensive cover) are not involved in the motor trade, self-drive hire, or taxi/courier driving then it is likely that you will be able to drive other cars that are not owned/registered/belonging to you on a Third Party cover basis.

All main scheme underwriters include this extension as above, but our older limited mileage policies (arranged pre July 2007) may also have this extension excluded.

It takes 2 seconds to check on our system, all you need do is contact us on 01277 263030 so we can confirm.

A more immediate way to check (for all Insurance providers - not just Greenlight) is to take a look at your certificate of motor insurance, as if the extension is included it will usually be listed next to the classes/permissions/people allowed to drive.

Kind regards

Tony

 

Just got my renewal for my escos and will be sticking with Greenlight always good service.
