Insurance

[rob88.]

My first post, and it's not a question but an answer.

I'm just buying a 92 Surf, and I called a few places to get insurance.
But as it's a second car it turns out I can't use my no cliams bonus on two cars/policies.
Strange but True.
So I ended up getting quotes around the £1,700 mark
(2 speeding endorsements - 1x 1 week ban & 0 points, 1x 3pts)

But, a nice man at A-Plan found a company that will give you the equavalent discount that I would have had with your no claims discount.
So I got fully comp for £700.

(They didn't even require me to insure both cars with them, so I also was able to leave my other car where it was.)

So, if anyones in the same boat - try A-Plan.

I also found out that a few places will insure two vehicles on one policy thus getting around the "stupid quote on a second car" scenario. Liverpool Vic do it, and I also found out the company that insures my motorbikes does it too (can't remember the name though) - so worth asking your insurer becuase these policies are not often advertised.

Interesting News

I just had to cancel my policy with Direct Line on my Xantia, so that I could transfer the no claims to my Surf with Lifesure. If I thought that I could insure both I would keep the Xantia, cos when all is said and done it is a superb car.

I think I will give Lifesure a ring tomorrow and see what they will offer?
