OUTRAGEOUS renewal price lol!

[MikeCracknell]

Despite reaching pensioner age last year, AND having 4 years NCB, my renewal came through for the VTS and it is MORE than last year (was £385 last year) - they want £401 :fcuk:, and that was after they knocked 10% off it for having 2 policies with them (Elephant)

Still the cheapest with all mods declared, Tesco, Churchill and that group won't touch me on the VTS, but can quote me £201 on the Zetec all mods declared - what is wrong with that lot lol!?!?!

[Baz]

zetec is cheaper parts wise :p Saxo is shit quality build, then again so is the Zetec, either way your going to have to pay it lol

[woodsy]

im 25 with 8 years ncb and pay £360 or so

cant get it any cheaper though as im in a refer postcode

[Barry123]

You got twice as many yrs NCB as me lol! I have 7 years on a motorcycle, but no bastard will take them, as Direct Line and their posse (Churchill, Tesco etc) won't quote me on the Saxo

[woodsy]

its stupid isnt it

i think my insurace co think i live in iraq or somewhere where my car is gonna get bombed

i did tell them that nobody will touch my car as i will set the mrs on them but they wasnt having it ... lol

gonna be doing some serious haggling in june

[Hagwag]

I used to work for EUI Ltd (who own elephant) and you'll definitley get a better quote if you do a fresh one as they always load renewals.

You may be able to get more than 10% off as well if you have two cars with them. If you have 4 years NCB on one phone them up and ask if you could mirror them across to the other policy if you have less on the second vehicle. They don't advertise you can do this but anyone there will be happy to get a manager to authorise it.

Just be aware they WILL try and sell you other products and some of the staff there are shit hot at it (I know several who have turned down managerial positions as they can earn a shed load more staying on the phones through comission).

[devilsadvocate]

Some companies dont see the difference between 4 years NCB and 8 years. Tesco used to say have you got 1,2 or more than three. You could have 10 years and you would still come under the 'three years or more catagory'. They have changed this to 5 or more now however.

Didnt know that thing about mirroring no claims from one policy to another, might have to give that a go.

My renewall is comin up in May. Im paying £900 Fully comp atm so anything less will be a bargain cause other companies want like £1300 average, even with a years no claims.

MUCH more expensive than Elephant - £698.90 so I will be avoiding them!

The lowest I have had other than elephant was £554.00,

Admiral (same as elephant) £462

Direct Line, Churchill and Tesco (all the same company now) Laughed at me - wanted £950 - SOOOOOOOOOOOOO expensive!

I got 7 years NCB on a motorcycle going to waste here too.....

[MikeCracknell]

Phoned up elephant - they cannot mirror the NCB to the Zetec S policy, BUT they reduced the TOTAL excess to £225 and the policy cost me £425 so I am happy now :)

[Mystic]

Tried bell? Their affiliated with elephant & admiral.

when admiral wanted £800 for me tpft (£1400 fc) 0 claims 0ncb. Then bell took me for £950 fully comp and with a claim...

My insurance ends mid May & im 21 at the end of May so ill wat a few days b4 renewing it, hope it drops a chunk :sad:

[MarkyG]

Norwich Union bleed everyone dry! well they wanted £1450 to insure my VTS, Admiral (my current insurer) want £548.

[MikeCracknell]

Norwich Union are a con!

[mattc]

Was 17 with 3 points and 30 out of 50 companies would like *points finger and laugh*

Went on confused and my best quote was something like 5500 ish i think

Jumped on my dads and its still 1400 ish for my VTS

Tiz one of the only good things about getting old having low car insurance :(

Done well Mike

[Baz]

Norwich Union are a con!

not far wrong there! only 40 something days till we leave NU and get cheaper insurance!! wooo :panic:

[Ste]

Dont wanna sound cheaky but if your a pensioner your probably becoming a high risk driver....in the eyes of the insurance gods!

[brianS]

esure came up trumps for me this year £352 fc no excess either

[Yates]

pensioner he means 25 i think, or somethin like that

elephant wanted 750 for the vtr on renewal, i went onto the site and had a quote for 440, told them that n they said they could do me it for 720...

im insured on the s for the same
