Insurance Suggestions

Post by rharris19880 » Fri Dec 22, 2017 9:06 am

Dear All

Can anyone recommend good option for insurance for Suzuki SJ.

I have a standard SJ413K, but my insurance company has changed it's outlook on things and pricing has gone a bit silly. I am getting on a bit with 11 years no claims and this is a 3rd car so shouldn't be deemed high risk.

Any good experiences with suppliers please share.

best regards

Richard

If your SJ is over 25 yrs old it would clasify as a classic, meaning you can get some great low rates especially if you just use it occasionally and for S, D & P only.

I've used Grove & Dean for 4 years now and at renewal time I head over to moneysupermarket.com to make sure their renewal premium is still cheapest.

It always is so I stick with them, I've also found their telephone people excellent also ;)

Adrian Flux. The LJ is a classic and fully comp with all mods and off road insurance too was £150.
If it ticks over...leave it

I had a very 'shirty' phone call with someone from Adrian Flux, put me right off, of course YMMV.

Yeah, I've heard quite a few people say that they've had bad experiences with staff at Adrian Flux, but I was with them for a few years and they were dead nice to me.

I think it's like any company - get the wrong person on the wrong day...

I know I’ve said it before, but here goes... I wouldn’t go anywhere near flux
Someone clipped the SJ tyre whilst it was parked and claimed we did loads of damage to his van. Was all sorted in less than a month, went down as no fault for the SJ, but took flux nearly two years to remove it as a fault against the wife.

Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

I’ve never had a bad experience with flux, but I’ve never had a claim either so couldn’t say what they are like in that case.

They did once try to randomly put the price up on a renewal by quite a big margin once but a phone call to them soon sorted that out.

Dear All, thanks for the suggestions. Went with Grove & Dean in the end seemed pretty reasonable. Thanks again.
