Insurance renewal for v6 :(

[biagioni1]

Just had a renewal through the post for £1350 for the clio v6, its with admiral and seems a bit steep.

Im 23, licence held for 6 years, four years no claims bonus, no accidents, no points, the car is garaged at night but is my daily and only drive, postocde is swansea, its a 255 illiad blue v6

Iv looked on moneysupermarket and confused and they are coming back with quotes ranging from £1800 to £5000 [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

Any idea where else to go.

Thanks

try green light

they were half the price of anyone else for me.

Admiral are always good for me.

 

[biagioni1]

Green light were a tad under £900 for me with remap exhaust and induction kit quoted. Result :approve:

Mine is 670£ and i was 22 with 3yrs NCB with Admiral!

Im paying exactly £1350 for my V6 from Ady Flux and I'm 23 too. I thought that was very good for a 23 year old running around in a group 20 car. All previouse quotes were around £4500.

Done a few quotes tonight, its a few months away yet though.

Directline who I was with for yrs wanted 1300 quid lol

Bel.co.uk are 580 quid

Elephant are 514 quid

Just turned 26 (2 days ago) with 3 points, im sure greenlight will be cheaper still when the renewal comes through.

Anyone tried these http://www.comparethemarket.com/car-insurance/ i tried them as a try out and they came up really good.

[Jainy]

I did.....came up £2,200 quid for my last renewal.....think they were taking Class A drugs like most insurance companies....that was on 13 years NCB too....

I tried comparethemarket as well. No good for me either, a lot of companies refused to quote or they were sky high... (2k+ range) even being 31 and with many years NCB!
I'm with admiral now , they have been the best for me the last 3 years. I was with elepant before that...

 

[Jainy]

Yep, know what you mean....I'm with an affiliate of Admiral too....Shiela's Wheels were the bigest joke of all, they didn't even have the Vee listed...!!! Had to call them and when I did, they quoted me £2,800 quid..!! ROFLMAO....!!!!! :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

I suppose for the 99.9% of female drivers in the UK, they might be okay, until of course you want to insure a "real" car.....

(always on my V6 insurance soap box too..!! :evil: )

 

[Lucy J]

Yeah I tried Shiela's as well and they were pants! Sounds like we probably tried all the same ones! Lol :badgrin:

I think 99.9% of girls drive shopping trolleys as cars - where's the fun in that though??!! :badgrin:

 

[Jainy]

Maybe we should set up our own V6 Insurance company.....!! [smilie=bowdown.gif] Now there's a thought..... [smilie=drunken_smilie1.gif]

[Lucy J]

Brilliant idea! Lol I don't think we'd be short of customers if this site is anything to go by!!! :badgrin:
Although we refuse any that have the nasty green alloys as shown in the pics on another forum thread!! Lol

i find with admiral quotes that it helps to add an additional driver as a named driver. ie. your mother (female driven for years loads of ncb typically) can knock as much as 25%ish off quotes. seems strange i know but give it a go!

 

[monkey636]

FYI Shiela's Wheels = ESure (aka. the Michael Winner show).

I'm with Quote me Happy at the moment, both parents on the policy makes a good difference in premiums. Also removing courtesy car and other useless bits and bobs can lower it.

No work today, so I did a bit of shopping around and sorted a new policy for the Vee. I'm currently with Norwich Union Direct at around £750 with a full no claims.
Greenlight quoted £623 and Swiftcover (Iggy Pop) wouldn't touch me with a bargepole!

Got it from Swinton at £354.

Some other places worth a look were:
auto direct (quoted £36, tiger.co.uk, be wiser insurance, and heritage insurance.
