What’s your excess?
« on: September 10, 2009, 08:52:43 pm »
I know insurance can be a drab subject, but I got my 1st renewal premium today on the GTI, which wasn’t that bad, but they are insisting on a £200 excess because of the model (the car not the wife)

So I would be interested to know what others have as a compulsory excess.

compulsory due to car = £250
voluntary excess = £0

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