Does not Cover Manchester
Hi,
I asked for a quote from these guys and was very disappointed to find that they don't cover the city centre of Manchester!
My Z4 is parked in a secure underground garage in my block of flats ... but apparently that does not matter as the underwriters wont cover my post code!

Hi, sorry we couldn't help you but the insurers on our panel won't let us quote for high risk areas regardless of your garaging arrangements. Of course we'd love to be able to quote everyone AND keep the account profitable for insurers but that's not realistic.
Your subject line's a bit misleading as it's only some areas of Manchester we can't cover, such as City Centre.
best,
Nick

Don't worry, they don't cover London either. Or generally anywhere i've tried them. Or if you're young, or basically not a Grade A+++ insurance candidate. Totally pointless forum scheme - would be better to pair up with an insurer we can actually use.

I live in a small village in the high peak, only has 4 streets and a main road..
Guess what
Too high risk for Ck. Ha ha
That much of a risk that many companies quoted under £200 for my M coupe..

Maybe a list of postcodes that aren't covered would be useful to the forum save people wasting their time calling

Post codes they do insure may be easier

Guys, we'll insure most postcodes but there are some where the insurers require off road parking, or specifically garaging, or won't allow us to quote at all. In the Preston example above we can quote as long as the car is kept on a driveway or garaged overnight. In city centre Manchester they don't want to take on the risk. The insurers on our panel drill down to the digit after the space in the postcode so that they can get a more accurate risk reading.
Additionally, if you've had the Z4 and no previous experience of the performance then that's a no (not actually down to the postcode).
Rest assured there are plenty of this forum's happy members insured with us.

Know the odds??????? Don't be ridiculous!!! I asked for a quote to beat Direct Line's of £190. They eventually came back with £550 with an outrageous excess and said it was because of my postcode! I live in a small, rural Yorkshire farming town. BOLLOCKS _ total rip-off outfit who should NOT be entertained. Why are they even plying their trade on this site anyway?
