Insurance renewal time

[plhorner]

I've just got my insurance renewal through, anybody got any got good deals recently?

I'm with Classicline and they want £370.95, 5000 miles pa, agreed value complete with european breakdown cover, not bad??

 

[porkersc]

£404, 5k p/a, Euro cover..So not far off the mark with RH insurance.

 

[Mike58]

Aon pretty good too
and good to deal with when a claim is made ( and points on licence!!)
Trackday cover too

 

[twinny]

I've used Boncasters (RH Specialist Policies) for years on classic cars. When I bought the 3.2 I looked around and nobody could touch them.

Checked again upon renewal - AON, Adrian Flux etc all way more expensive.

I paid £290 with Classicline, last October. No one could beat them and I shopped around the usual suspects

Asset Trust are pretty good too especially if you have modifications and no garage.

£350 for mine with http://www.rhclassicinsurance.co.uk/ 5000 mile limit

A Manning has been suggested recently, having put policies in place for PCGB which include any PCGB trackdays...might be worth a call!

£157 for mine with same people, same 5k miles, no points, garaged, cat 1 alarm etc

Depends what you're after. If it's classic with restricted mileage and kept in a garage then the above are the way to go, but for unlimited mileage and kept on a drive I've found that NU can't be beaten.

Wow, you must either be old or live in the middle of no where. That is mighty cheap, I thought £325 with same people for myslef and wife, 35, garaged, cat 1 and 5K miles. Mind you we do have a slightly iffy post code.

SC's are cheaper than 3.2's for some reason best known to the insurance companies.

RH quote around £320 for a 3.2 and only £180 for an SC.....strange, but true.

Thanks all, I'll have ring around this week!

Phil,

Just a thought -

My 84 Carrera (like my other vehicles) has always been insured through AON (previously Bain Clarkson). The premium dropped substantially at its November 84 renewal and all mileage restrictions disappeared.

At the last renewal (November 2005) I paid £217.50.

Once a vehicle is 20 years old or more the premiums drop!

You might like to see if your 86 car qualifies ..........

 

[plhorner]

Andrew, cheers for the tip off, I'll ask. Might be worth a word with AON.

 

[nathan 1981 930 G50]

AON, are very good.

With my cars though the car must be garaged.
No problem with me adding 100bhp to my turbo, extra 25% premium.
As long as you don't have a rollcage & you garage the car they will quote and it should be reasonable.

Nathan, a happy AON customer.

I've got three moderns (including my C7S - Ok Mark B?) and five agreed value classics on for £1650 p.a. with Footman James. Try them on 0121 561 4196 if you've more than one car.

Us considerate SC drivers must just be a lower risk than you hot-rodding youngsters [8D]

That £157 was exactly half what I had paid with Carole Nash the previous year.

I'm 37 and live between Northants and Banbury so not exactly the sticks. I did find that most of my premiums halved last year, same year as my hair finally gave up trying to look like any colour other than grey; should have done it years ago (lol)

 

[plhorner]

Well, I've had a right result I reckon. Classicline have done me a price match with AON and I've got it down to £270 but admittedly put my mileage down to 3K this year.
Thanks for the advice all.

Do they all have to be garaged ?
Any of them modified ?
