Re: Insurance price hike
Don't get me started with insurance. The joys of getting your own policy, even after driving for two years at the age of 19.
Flux were going to charge me £1500 for my SJ, but I can get a quote through admiral for a rangerover V8 now for £1100, fully comp. For somebody aged 19 with no NCB I was rather pleased. Made it cheaper by listing the LPG conversion as a modification as well!
Whats more is flux said "we've got you a really good quote" and then they say £1500. I almost had a heart attack, was hoping for something like £800 - 900.
Got a policy of £600.00 for my SJ after months of haggling. Footman james slammed the phone down on me and basically told me to piss off and said I wouldn't get a quote.
After spending many nights playing with online forms the tips i've found are:
Park you car in a residential parking area (How is that cheaper than a locked garage?)
Put between 3000 and 5000 miles for the cheapest quote (how not 1500?)
Two named drivers who have been driving for 15+ years without any accidents
And a few others I cannot remember.
Have a feeling there was a glitch in the admirals computer system when I did the rangerover insurance quote.
GRRRRRRRR Dam Car Insurance
