Insurance help
« on: May 29, 2009, 11:53:04 am »
Insurance up for renewal.

26yo, driving for 3yrs, 3yrs NCB. Clean license.

Renewal with Directline £750
Adrian Flux £821
Greenlight £970

This is sunny Bournemouth too!

Any other companies that are worth going to and are mod-friendly? Not modded now but definitely in future.


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm with Chris Knott.  :happy2:

There are others like Brentacre but mostly they use Highway as their underwriters.

I'm through Adrian Flux, but it is underwritten by NIG, so you could try the direct approach.

I paid £530.
Full NCB
No points
Garaged
44 yr old
All mods declared with like for like replacement
Guaranteed valuation
£200 excess
No claims protected
Legal cover
courtesy car
Etc
etc
 :smiley:

I did some phoning to and fro between AF and Greenlight and managed to get the quote down to £530 from a renewal quote of £602.

£245 with More than, fully comp, guaranteed bonus, live in the sticks & reasonably aged at 33.  Actual quote was 320 but managed to get £75 cashback from quidco.
