I'm best part of 28 (in a month), been driving 10years, no "fault" accidents, no accidents of any kind in the past 4/5 years, but yet to insure a 1.8 P reg Escort worth £300 is nearly SEVEN HUNDRED QUID third part fire & theft

Nobody seems to want to accept a letter from my previous company stating I was driving a company vehicle with no accidents, so even with all my "driving experience", I'm starting at the bottom paying the sort of figures I was paying when I was a new driver in the 90's!!!!

jeeeesus on my 1.8 si at 19 with no no-claims TPFT car worth £550 i was only paying £960! at 28 thats a pee take!

666

its due to the credit crunch there pushing prices up as theres less people insueing cars, and more people claming

my escort gti was only 370 2 months ago full comp, now its 784 (im nearly 29)
so not just you mate

Lol! £700 TPFT on a group 9 car?

I pay £450 FC on a group 17E car.

It must be down to where you live more than anything else.

Admiral is who I just insured with! They did ask for proof, told them it was company provided, they told me that don't mean shit to them and would only do me a policy based on no NCB prices

Thrush

Yeah, low crime area, car only used for social domestic and pleasure (no commuting) and only used once or twice a week, covering probably less than 4k a year

kniterider

lol i went to insure my beemer with them, went through compare site, 1300 FC but if i wanted to pay monthly had to ring them, they wanted £2200 because i would loose the online discount...i told them to go forth and multiply

gary fraser

thats a bit steep like im paying 300 f/c for my frst with ecar try them their usually preety good when my missus passed her test she was only 256 tpft on a s reg 1.6 astra.

I used compare the market and confused last night and they seemed to throw up decent quotes for cars way more powerful and higher value than your Escort. I'm 26, company NCB and was getting quoted around 350 FC on stuff like Impreza Turbos/Leon Cupra R etc and that was with my 21yr old lass on the policy too?!


Cheers,

you could have taken out a limited mileage policy if your mileage is that low, it would have gone down alot then

P_is_for_Paul

Holy shit mate. I've just came off a 12 month ban and my insurance is only 420 for a 03 plate corsa Sri!

Rick Astley

Abit of a sweeping statement there mate, as I was asked for proof when we got a policy with me and the girlfriend on.

Rick Astley

Interesting piece of information for you, Admiral Group own confused.com They tried to bullshit me asking me for the same information as I had already entered, they then said they had no access to the information I submitted other than what was sent to them.

I told them they need to communicate more within their group of companies then He went quiet and said yes sir.

its probably because the car is a shitter. if you tried to insure something worth more, i bet it would be cheaper.

Insurance is a joke, im 27 Drive a group 15 ST170, 9 years NCB, got this years premium through of £1250!! Fuck i paid that for TFT on a 1L Nova Spin when i was 17, insurance is going backwards, each year it seems i pay more now!!

Thats not the recession!! thats robbery

doubling the cost takes the piss. Cant believe theres that fewer drivers versus more claims.

Hell i know bradfords bad for somalian/pakistani crash scams but thats taking the piss!!!

brad

Try insuring it fully comp instead , and add a family member as a named driver .
I was in exactly the same boat as you when I went to insure my own car after having a company policy , I had my BMW 540 with the wheels declared and re map etc etc f/c only cost me £600 with my old dear as a named driver. It was £1700 tpft on my own

My renewal came today, been with Bell for 3 years (same company as Elephant/Admiral) and they wanted £354 for a shite 1.8 zetec focus mrk1

I have no convictions, points, claims, Good NCB and 13/14 years driving and drive for a living

I didnt pay that much more when i owned a cossie rs2k and mondie STs

Went on compare the market and best i got was £230 with some cunt i cant remember but teh co-op were £245 which suits me fine

Phoned bell for the haggling session and they offered a £30 discount so much for wanting to keep custom

Ahh well co-op for me this year

KregRS

Years back, when I passed my test, in 96, I had a 2dr 1100 mk2 Escort, cost me just over 700 tpft. 3 months later I bought an Orion 1600 Ghia (non injection) and same company quoted me just over 400 tpft.

Might have to cancel the Admiral one and take out the DirectLine one, but need to double check the details on the phone first - might even be cheaper if I go down to TPF&T...
