Excess is £250.
Are you saying that's a good deal?
Adrian Flux did say they would beat any other quote is if i call back. Part of me doesn't want to give them the change though after such a crap renewal quote.
PS, did you ever get the spacers?

I have been using NFU for several years. They are not the cheapest but usually finish in first place for quality of service in the AutoExpress annual survey. They have local offices so you can pop in and speak to someone face to face.

Just put your details into a search engine like 'Go Compare'
You can set your excess etc and it will give you an idea of how good those previous quotes are.

Aviva - not the cheapest for everyone but good for me. Just had my second windscreen in four months and again they agreed gen BMW screen and seal/gasket without any hassle (automated response to autoglass I think). Worth the money for me I know they pay out!

The Pope was insured with Allianz the same as us, AA are just the brokers. I suppose this helped things a bit.maxman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:21 pmIf I remember correctly my quote was £170 ,limited to 5k miles low excess,wife as a named driver.Price was good but the reviews put me off.patriot66 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:55 pmI've got 3 cars insured with the AA and no complaints whatsoever from me.

It's sad that Insurance companies don't seem respect to value any brand loyalty / laziness to search at renewal time.
Comparison web sites are the way to go - then hit the current provider with the numbers.
I try to give our site sponsor a try most years but they've not been able to win my business yet even though I tick all the plus/good risk boxes.

I always get a stupid price every renewal.
So I always get on a comparison site and use whoever is most competitive - and it's usually someone different each year!
But that's not so easy with my current Z4 as it has a custom exhaust and most of them don't like modifications - so it's on it's 3rd year with Chris Knott.

Insurance companies are like overly expensive wine.. you get a quote from all and pick the second cheapest
