Insurance

what that thread on pistonheads illustrates is that we all have to shop around - the variables are ever increasing and you have to find the company that at any particular time is competitive given your personal circumstances. There is no easy way to do this other than shop around - every time you renew. This year Adrian Flux were the cheapest quote for me - clearly were not for others... go figure.
 
sorry for two posts - I'd got an error message after my first, so assumed it had failed to send, so I went off and read the pistonheads thread, then came back and re-posted. [&:]
 
Try compare the market, they quoted me £340 using diamond which is part of Admiral i think for a 2.7 boxster 04 and i'm only 34!
Touch wood i'v had a clean licence since 17!
 
I've had the same problem i owned a Ferrari 308 GTS for 18 years with Aon / Footman James. I then sold the car and bought a boxster 3.2s 2002 manual, when i enquired in August 2010 the told me that i couldn't have the same policy. This was due to the car not being 10 years old+. They wouldn't allow me any NCB because it was on a classic car policy. I was quoted £1200-00 through them, i shopped around and i paid £740-00. I now have a policy with Admiral which i've attached 3 cars to it i have an Alfa 147 2.0 lusso and my wifes MB 230E. It's a group policy but each indivdual car has it's own NCB. Incidently i pay £470-00 for the Boxster so its quite good.

Thanks guys I will try Saga and Adrian flux certainly. Pearts quoted over £1000

Adrian Flux failed to respond to an online quote

Compare the market come up with the best so far ONE CAll (new outfit) at £587 ut I have not heard of them so am a little wary!

Last year Saga wernt interested.

I do use for the daily comute (no businesss) but not during peak times and my milage is limited to 8K no other cars on the policy my wife is on the policy not that she drives it ad that brings the cost down a bit actually.

Post code is B16 central Birmingham but actually a good deal more secure than my last home that was rural

AAny one heard of ONE CALL

Thanks for the replies
 
admiral have been fine for the kids cars but were a nightmare when it came to trying to get a proper OEM windscreen-they made a small contribution but I ended up being £600 out of pocket so wasn't such a great deal after all[:mad:]

Been quite a few posts on Pistonheads regarding them, say no more.

Wanted you to use National by any chance?
 
I'm with Manning (for the included track day cover) and last renewal was £630 I think - dropped a little over the previous year. Personally I wouldn't use any of the big companies like Admiral - stick to the specialists.
 
When my car was vandalised Admiral were incredibly helpfull and agreed for the car to be painted at an approved Porsche bodyshop within 2 days of the incident. I was concerned my renewal premium may be very high but was marginally higher only.
 
I prefer speaking to people in UK call centres. Personally for me and maybe just unfortunate, Admiral were a nightmare and didn't even know what winter tyres were when I spoke to them to change over. Say no more....
 
Admiral may be good or bad and I hear what folk are saying about specialist insurers my point was that premiums are lower this year than last and significantly so.

Last year my details in Compare the Market generated quotes of £850 and up this year same details £350 and up.

What he said. I've been with Manning for years. They were really helpful when I had a claim - actually taking on the Insurance company underwriting the policy for me when the wording said one thing, but meant something else...
 

I've been with Manning UK for a couple of years. Good, courteous service and a competitive price.

I'll probably get some other quotes this year, including one from the Club's authorised insurer, Lockton, just to check that they're still competitive.

Renewal notice from Aviva came in at £495 for 2012 Boxster 981 PDK so went on line - ridiculously cheap quotations from companies never heard of - Admiral was about £100 cheaper so telephoned Aviva to tell them to do better so they dropped it to £429 - so stayed with Aviva who we have had no complaints with - 2 new windscreens replaced in last 5 years without any problems. Price includes foreign travel and legal fees - excess £350.

Called Adrian Flux today to cancel old policy (renewal £915) explained why and quick as a flash they said they could do my policy renewal for £495!

So I asked them why they sent me a renewal for £915 - to which there was no answer.

They are just greedy if they had sent me a renewal for say £750 as it was less than my premium last year inertia probably would have had me renewing without shopping around but they had to put it up so lost my custom.
 
Just put mine back on the road 3.2 2001 boxster. been driving 6 years with 4 years no claims. went with axa who seemed to be the cheapest for me £758 for me not too bad, next year with 5 years ncb will be just over £500 i think
 
Just to show what a huge divide there is in insurance I too have just changed to AXA and with the 2000 3.2s Boxster my premium went down to £350 fully comp with named driver 3 years ncd saved myself £300 changing from sainsburys. Why? Such huge differences for same cars etc it really is a mine field out there.
