Terrible Insurance Renewal 35is...

[mcbutler]

DO NOT use price comparison sites, you will pay a premium to them on top of your motor insurance itself.
If you use them look for the deals then contact the insurer direct.
Try Direct Line, if you have more than one car, add your house, and like me a Buy To Let portfolio its almost free.
Besides giving great pricing they, more importantly ALWAYS pay out no matter what in my experience.

Try Admiral, they are very competitive with young drivers

I have my 2013 35is and my 2015 535D MSport insured with Aviva for £810 on multicar. I am 50 and full no claims and the 35is is garaged. Both cars less than 10000 per year.

Note sure whether this will help you, but hopefully it does.

I've owned a z4 coupe since I was 20, I'm now 23, have had a speeding offence in the past 5 years, no longer showing on my licence, and a non-fault accident which insurers always love an answer for i.e ££££, but I do comparison sites and then handle directly with the cheapest insurer to get around the fees.

If it's true the quote they have given you, they're taking you for a ride, literally, and you should definitely shop around in future.

I'm currently insuring with Direct Line under a comprehensive policy which includes business usage, this was done in August, not that long ago and I paid around £800 for the year, I have my parents on the policy as second drivers who hardly ever use the vehicle, by doing this the price reduces a little so it's always worth it

Add your girlfriend to the policy or your mum, will definitely make it cheaper. I'm 40 and still add people to get the price down.

You might get a discount by adding that dog as a named driver

Try telling them its parked on the road rather than in a garage, Mine came down when parked on the rd, do you have a private registration? I have to put my old reg in for cheapest quotes then change it over after accepting price.

I must be doing something wrong? I insured my 35is with AXA when i bought it in June 2017 and it cost me £420 per year fully comprehensive with £0 excess?

It also comes down if you select social, domestic and commuting?

Add parents to your policy, my son has the M140 (new) and that was less than £800 to insure. He is 23 as well.

This trick usually works a treat. +1

Try changing your job title, that can make a marked difference.
The only people getting insurance cheaper than me are farmers.

In price comparison site, try different professions, you can find out who the insurers find a liability.
