I had my renewal through from elephant.co.uk - it was £640 (all mods declared). I did an online quotation, and it came out at £605. I rang the renewals dept, and they then said "oh, we can now do it for £570".

I then sent in my extra 2 years no claims bonus from the now sold punto, and they then told me that my new premium, on a modded VTS for the next year is...

£395.59</font>
3 years NCB, all mods declared!

Hoorah! (well at least its cheaper by £300 than the punto was !!!) smileys/smiley14.gif

Well... I'm paying around £1,300 fully comp on the VTS in my name and that's with 5 years n.c.b but two convictions smileys/smiley5.gif Roll on 2007 when they are all cleared smileys/smiley16.gif

I'm paying £10 more this year than I was last year. I phoned Elephant to ask why and they said Elephant isn't as competitive as it used to be. I was like... GREAT!!! smileys/smiley7.gif

lol the wonderful weird world of insurance - i was paying more on my 1.1 saxo than i am now on a 1.9 pug 306 dturbo.

When i phoned my insurance company and asked what my payments would be if i was to add an additional driver and they said i would have to pay £35 admin fees and then an extra £11 a month.. i thought it was cheaper when you add an additional driver
