The insurance search

[schrodingers-cat]

My insurance runs out tomorrow and as them people are getting married i had to sort it out today as it seems everyone except me is getting a day off.
The quote off my original insurers (A Plan) was triple my last one, coming in at just over a grand so i broke the habit of a lifetime and put some effort into finding a quote that wasn`t taking the p1ss
Tried all those search thingy`s. They ranged from £800 to £3500. My bank £850. Money supermarket was mostly over a grand with one or two getting down to the mid £800s
Went for our sponsor in the end. Adrian flux quoted me just over £400. Went down to 3rd party fire and theft to get it that low but i`m vaguely happy with it

Did you try Lifesure? They've done mine for 3 years and it's usually around the £350 mark. 41 year old, more than 7 years NCB.

On a completely different subject are you close to Lydiate?

yeah, live about a mile away. The milk round i do goes right through it. starts at the weld blundell, down southport road into maghull

[daisy710]

I remembered the picture of the milk float you once posted. I grew up in Lydiate and my mam and dad still live in Lambshear Lane.

Small world lol

[shokenore]

Damm I thought £350 fully comp thru' Aviva was good ;(

[schrodingers-cat]

Small world lol

Certainly is. The whole place is slowly going down the pan tho. I`m seriously considering emigrating. Got rels in south africa. Dont really get on with them but w.t.f. Might drive there
On the subject of insurance, if these company`s that are cheap quoted you a few months ago your in for a shock. things have gone up big time very recently

[Bogus]

I doubt you would find South Africa any better.

[Spoggle]

Went with Sky again this year, but gone up to £336 from £250 last year. Not as bad as some price hikes I seen this year

Just remember when moving insurance companies and you have got mods on the truck,make sure that the insurance covers new for old on all mods.Lifesure do not cover the mods new for old as with several other companies.You will need to notify your insurance of any mods so they can be noted but be aware of the new for old bit though

Im 58(I know,I dont look it)9 years NCD,although they say they dont take NCD into account,no mods,3 litre d,they charged me £200 last June,am beginning to wonder if they make it up as they go along.Renewal is due shortly,wonder what figure they will come up with this time ?????

[lord_flashart]

All insurers chance whatever they can, that cheap quote was only two weeks ago and then others get stupid high quotes which doesn't make sense. There needs to be some sort of regulation in the industry.
