Tin Top Insurance

[Guest macca]

Hi All

 

Its that time of year again when I need to re-insure the tin top.

 

Volvo Owners insurance want £800 Hmmmmm I think we know where they can stick that!

Esure seem to be the best of the standard companies £670 ish

 

My mate recommended Adrian Flux who came back with £501

Can you lot recommend anyone to beat that?

 

Car is a Volvo S60 Diesel Old mans car I know, but I'm only 29 so saga is not an option (I know quite a few of you are eligible )

I did allot of ringing around then called into a local broker and found he beat the lot so don’t turn down local brokers out of hand. I nearly did, expecting direct (phone) to be cheaper

After getting a major hike in my renewal from the Company that's suppose to quote you happy!!! (Yeah Right!), I used confused.com and genuinely saved £90 over the renewal quote, plus I get a courtesy car and free legal.

 

You only have to type your details in once on the confused.com website and the engine does all the hard work.

 

I'm now with Admiral... but as with ALL insurers.. it does pay you to shop around at renewal time every year, I'm now paying over £100 less than I did 3 years ago for a Saab 93 LPT.

 

Give confused.com a try, I'm so glad I did (end of Advert )

Cheers

(Dont think it's any good for Kit Cars though !!!!)

This year and saved over £150 on my last insurer (Direct Line)

I went to Flux this year and saved £120,then I fed breakdown cover into the moneysupermarket web site and saved £50 on that as well.Well worth the effort.

Direct line renewal £386

Direct line on-line new customer quote £326

Sainsbury on-line £265 almost like-for like....better level of breakdown cover

with Sainsburys !!!.

 

Bob (over 21......well over)

 

BTW last weekend the Vette did 8.95.....165mph at the Pod's Bug Jam, & came

3rd in Sundays eliminations with the second quickest time in the class.

Also fastest speed in Saturday's RWYB at 147

(which was our first tryout run after the rebuild!!!

 

After having the engine as a bare block last Monday & rebuilding it completely,

new bearings, new pistons, repaired head, 2 new valves......

not bad for two old fart amateur mechanics

Thanks for the advise but Budget cme back at £718, it must be for the more mature driver!!!

 

Adrian Flux is still the best, with confused recommending RAC £511, I think Ill visit the RAC web site and factor in some breakdown cover, see what that comes out at.

I've just done mine through Admiral. I got a cheaper price by doing it through their internet site directly (rather then through confused.com etc). Then phone them up too, and got a slightly cheaper price again.

 

I actually went for a multi vehicle policy, so my wive will join Admiral from Jan next year when her existing policy runs out.

 

Saved even more cash doing this - £100 on mine and £150 on my wives.

 

Maybe worth a look

I found Tesco car insurance a very good price...

[Guest tom2b]

i saw an advertising banner for tesco "value" insurance, whats that all about?

[Guest salty_monk]

Tesco (actually they are direct line as I found out when someone took my wing mirror off) & Elephnat have been the best two for me since I went fully comp.

 

Budget were ok TPFT before that. I've also used Edgehill & a couple of others.

I've found the problem, Its my post code: CV2 is a group E where A is the best and F is the worst.

 

So I need to spend abour 50K moving post codes to save 100 quid on my insurance.
