kdubya Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I will second confused .com. AS although I now have a series 5 BMW (£304) fully comp, and with 6 points on my license? my previous CAR as opposed to my truck, was a vauxhall omega 3 litre elite! and for some reason the renewal jumped from around the £300 mark to nearly £900!! went on confused . com got a quote from think it was lifesure for £280 took it up, thinking ok cheap and cheerfull but what about the service? well the inevitable happened, farmers wife came out drove out of a hedge opening straight into my path ( I am in cornwall miles from home) bang front end of car wiped, phoned lifesure and they arranged everything ie car pick up , provision of a curtousy car etc and the prompt return of a nicely repaired omega. I have since taken the cheapest quotes every year, this year churchill came out cheapestl? cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm with the lads above, confused.com. It was recommended on the Money Programme on Radio 4. I have not tried them yet but will the next time my renewal comes up. Ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I find getting on the phone and letting them do all the hard work pays off. I ring round every year and always get a reduction. Staying with the same company year in/year out just wastes money. Get the Yellow pages out and scrawl each companies prices next to their add. Never tell them how much you've already been quoted either, spookily, if you do , they're quote is always much closer to the one you've already had. Hastings have been fairly cheap for me in the past :blink: P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bipolar Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Confused got me a quote for my Rover 75 Tourer down to £390 from the £1600 my original insurer (Liverpool and Victoria) quoted my renewal, I only paid £500 the year before , I did claim for my Tom Tom being stolen (only could claim £200 max ) I have no points I rang them up and they just said thats the quote and could not give me a satisfactory answer!

NickHead Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I went with TSB bank for my insurance, did me a well good deal. I like local insurance places because I like to deal with them eye to eye, yes, it does cost a slight bit more, but you can always chat to them and put your point over..

Browning GTS Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 My best quote for past two years Norwich Union ( quote me happy ) Mind you best price for me landy was from Sureterm Direct 0845 20 20 230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big simmo999 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 yep - got to confused.com - saved myself £120 this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Privilege were best for me, brand new A4 2.0 S-line TDI £345 (bloody good price for insurance in London). Only of use with 4 or more years NCB. If you have none try bell.co.uk. If any of you have seen the low rent advert with the bloke in the orange shirt, thats my mate Simon. Actor, lol Another tactic is play brokers off against each other, or look for deals where you get a discount for having home / contents with the same people (Norwich Union etc).
