Insurance

When stating figures quoted can we at least have insurance companies named please? Just a suggestion to save time trying to find who it is. (Especially G29s as mine is due next month)

Mine is insured with BMW, no one else could compete when I bought the car new, this year it went up £1.23 a month, that’s the only thing I don’t like, I can’t pay premium in full, only option monthly DD but even then total DD payments still cheaper than one off payment through GoCompare etc :thumbsup:

There seems to be no sense to the car insurance market. I switched to Saga for the Coupe last year following a MoneySupermarket comparison for about £190 and the renewal last month was only £135 with an ambitious 6k miles per year and NCD protection. The 2.5i is slightly more at £180ish , presumably because it’s a convertible and I can’t use my NCD on it.

I have my wife as a named driver on all our policies (including the kids’ car) as this seems to consistently result in a lower premium.
 
I just insured the Project Cheapskate 3.0i for 3000 miles, fully comp, me and the missus, through Compare the Market via TopCashBack.
Got it for £146 from Saga, with £40 cash-back. :thumbsup:
Of course, it's not the most valuable of motors.
 
Decided to go for the remap?

I took the car on its first 30 mile round trip to the office yesterday. It’s a completely different beast. Highly recommend it.

Actually, comparing prices is meaningless unless you live in the same postcode. Some insurers are more competitive than certain postcodes than others, so a company that's given someone else a great price for the exact same model may not be competitive for you, even if you are of a similar age.

Well yeah, it is a postcode lottery.

But quotes for my car in my postcode and my age. The quotes are all over the place.
Direct line last year were wanting just over £ 420.-- :o
 
Just been using the usual comparison sites and Carol Nash keeps coming up the cheapest but still £360 with a compulsory excess of £220 and £50 voluntarily.

Prices appear to have gone up but cheaper than my renewal quote with existing insurer which was £100 more
 
Just had my renewal notice from Carole Nash for their six wheeled policy (car & bike combined).
£357.27
Had hoped it would be a bit lower than that having turned 60 last year. :(

That sounds expensive, but it's been a while since I had a newish car!

Both of mine were cheaper than last year. :)
 
Either way I tried, via comparison sites or with companies direct, prices varied from £352 with Carole Nash to silly prices over £500.

Excuses were varied for the price rises but several said that they can no longer offer cheaper deals to new customers. They must offer the same deals to existing customers so they are now offering none. Wether true or not I don’t know but couldn’t get it cheaper anywhere. Would be interested if anyone else is insuring a newish G29.
 
My G29 is costing more to insure than my 718 Boxster did, I struggled to get a half decent quote. Full no claims, no points etc.
The Porsche was worth 15k more and was more powerful, makes no sense.

Dead right, I've looking at insurance on £20k Caymans v my old £10k e89, Caymans coming in 80 quid cheaper.. Corvettes around 20 quid cheaper :?

It does seem very random, but maybe Caymans are involved in fewer accidents? :?

I'm surprised that my MC is costing less to insure than I was paying for my 3.0Si - not that I mind of course! :D

Looks like they won’t insure anything modified, and my ///M would also need a tracker. :thumbsdown:

Just tried my five series and they want £840 per year :rofl:

I insured all five cars we have for lees than that last year with Admiral.
