strange insurance Co.!!

[da SLUG man]

Admiral sent my renewal at £509...

thinking about getting a fiesta as a runaround and the quote for BOTH the fiesta AND the surf is.....


£456.38!!!

£281.82 for the surf and £174.56 for the fiesta!


WTF!!???

[Sancho]

I think the theory is that when you drive the Fiesta you can't be driving the Surf, so they kind of average between the two.

I have a female friend as a named driver on my insurance to make the premium £200 less. Theory being that she will drive it sometimes and is less likely to crash than me.

No comment on that....

i cover 100,000 miles a year, so i guess i'm likely to have a couple of crashes a year, where the old lady that only goes to co-op once a week will have 1 crash every 5 years.... (but i don't think the theory works cos i'm less likely to reverse through a shop window while parking!!)

Heres another Insurance tip. If you live with your parents (I returned when I lost my work accomodation due to leaving the job), put your mother as a named driver. Mine for the last five years has had points on her license (I haven't) and she still reduced my premium, (not that I let her drive it).

mad insurance

I`ve got my renewal for surf at £199 for full commercial/social use. I want to add my little 1.3 Skoda (sorry for swearing) runaround to the policy doing only about 2000miles p.a. down to Asda`s and the tip and back. They have quoted me £245 for the Skoda and say they cannot have 2 vehicles on one policy. Is this true? As I am the only driver- I cant drive 2 cars at once so what is the issue??
cheers, off to Weardale to join the other nutters!

[plumb bob]

Got mine at direct line, fully comp for £301.00 got the wifes car already on with them so got a two car discount.

I talked to a guy about my age who paid £1200.00 to insure his surf!!!!

I told my daughter to put my wife on her insurance although she has 1 sp30
(1st in over 30 years driving) and the b@st##ds wanted £100 more, they seem to make it up as they go along !!!!
