I've just waisted a weekend trying to get cover for my new surf, following numerous telephone calls to my current insurer IT's 4 Me The've finally told me "they don't cover imports!"

So I've now taken an afternoon of work to try and get cover.

After much surfing (no pun intended) I've spoken to a very very nice man from Lifesure insurance brokers who has given me a very competitive quote (£520, 7 years no claims, fully comp + business use & parked on street at night)

they were not the cheapest, but were the best in terms of cover and excess (£200)

They asked if I would mention them so here goes

Lifesure you have saved my bacon!........ Thank you!


If you can't stand the heat......... turn the heating off!

do mine with its for me.
but the policy is norwich union go there direct and save some dosh i am next time its due mine is £297 fully comp with breakdown cover

Just tried LifeSure online and received a quote of £642 full comp with 3 penalty points, parked on driveway and 10000 miles! and Adrian Flux who I'm with and quoted £609 has just gone up to £650.....

Who's got the balaclava...watch out Barclays here I come!

[DGraham]

insurance quote...the cheapest.

Adrian Flux was ok, but we have just insured our surf ssr-g 1996 3.0 litre with a company calld TET HAMILTON. It covers myself and partner fully comp at a cost of £413.95. I have sp30 partner has sp60. Needed a immobilser fitted cat2, but it was cheaper than any other car we've owned here the number 01275 856618. Let me know if they were any good for you cheers..... Thought i better add that we are aged 36 and 25. cheers

Try Admiral.com fellas.

I had a quote from Lifesure around £1200. Renewal from NU (via Dorset borkers = £1500). Admiral = £650.

You MAY be surprised.

insurance

cheers for all the advise, phoned around all the companies and here's the result:

25 years old, 8 years no claims, totally clean licence and record.

Direct Line, tesco, Footman James all came out around £560

Adriun Flux came out cheapest at £525 but with an extra named driver only £25 extra for the year.

Insurance renewal

Hiya,

Just renewed, 36yrs old (but don't look it!), fully comp with business use, full no claims, £286.48 including usual legal cover. Haden Welbeck Group, 01322-430141 - nice people too!

[Gizmo]

Adrian Flux

Just thought I'd wait for my renewal notice to come through and you guessed it....

Last year £609 full comp....this year nearly £700....

1 year extra of No Claims (8 yrs now) but 1 Speeding fine [SP30].....They do say however that they will beat quotes provided.

Here comes the Rant:

What the hell are they playing at....if you can match quotes then gives us those best prices in the first instance and not...well if thats what you've been given we will match it. I for 1 am certainly starting to phone round more as I want the best price on the first call and not on the 2nd or 3rd!!!!


And the joke of it now to start charging for Road Rage Cover!!


PS: Footman James Cover watch your excess..just been on website and £350

[Gizmo]

Addendum

well just been contacted by LifeSure and yep...£541 full comp, so a saving of £68 on the original quote from Adrian Flux last year and £158 saving on renewal quote from Adrian Flux.....

Possibly new spare wheel+tyre to match the 4 Colways

[BUSHWHACKER]

Have you tried Tesco insurance on line?
I've just renewed mine recently and it went from £320 down to £294.
@ 4 years no claims, wife as named driver, toad alarm/imob. fully comp.
plus discount if ordered on line.

[dirtydog]

Yeah im with Tesco - and they list the Surfs within reason.

[Chillitt]

just swapped from the escort to 2.4 with footman james. £10.50 extra for rest of this year and about 50 quid more for next year! woo and indeed hoo!
