JustGav Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 well instead of the mods make the decision why dont they set up a poll weather to keep or get rid see what kind of response it gets The mods run the board.... please don't let this deteroriate into a mods vs general population thread.

JustGav Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'd like to revive my suggestion of allowing a 2nd insurance company onto the board and allow 'friendly' bartering in order to get the best for club members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 This is the thing, I am with them as well and I am happy, however there are is a lot of noise on the board re sky and it shouldn't just be ignored IMHO. you only ever hear about bad news. I bet if you looked at the number of bad threads people post up, then asked how many are insured with sky. there is a hell of alot more insured with them then people moaning. Plus Jazz moans about every insurer and everything lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but insurance isn't an easy thing to compare like for like on. This particular thread isn't really very productive as Sky themselves state they aren't competitive for standard cars.

Guest coldflame Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 no thats not what im getting at its just to see what ppl feel about sky but saying that if the general population disagreed with the mods over things they would all disband then there wouldnt be a board to mod if you see my point its the the population that keep this place going not the mods and if there unhappy with something there opinion should count should it not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sky wouldn't insure me until I was 21, even then they won't insure me fully comp on an N/A until i'm 23. Thats all I have to say about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 that accident was not my fault but no i did not tell them:(, OMFG?? Talk about committing financial suicide.... If you had got a good quote would you have then told them about an accident that you had. They do ask if you have had "any" accidents!! H.

TrickTT Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've just renewed with Sky for the 4th year. Phoned a few other places, but non were as good as Sky and included all the cover I wanted. Cheaper than last year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 i rung 2 weeks ago to test the water they quoted me £1200 for a twin turbo asked if i was a member of any club i said no then got my mate to ring up the day after with all the same details except name and address with the same postcode but diffferant house they asked him if he was a member of any club he told them yes this one and guess what £1200 thort we were suposed to get some sort of discount not likely hmm, I'd really like to see that one explained away. I've often wondered if they really give a discount or if its just bull. I was planning on trying them when my insurance is due as the price they quoted was good.

I had a crash as a named driver and had to declare it on my policy. have you had a crash in last 5 yrs is the question, not have you had a crash on this policy. Also if a claim isnt settled and you are renewing you still have to say it happened as the incident took place prior to you taking out the cover.

jazz1 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 wel this non falut accident only happend 3 weeks ago and when i called sky last year i told them the whole truth so i cant see how i lied to them? i wont be renewing with them anyways as they are too high iv already been quoted 580 and yes before you ask iv told them everything i know off:Pling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insurance was taken out last year on my micra with sky so not as if i lied mate because i told them everything when i took the policy unlike some members i know who lied to insureres about their points You must tell them about the accident whether it was fault or not. I had some stupid bitch run into a hire car whilst it was parked up two years ago. We claimed off her insurance and I wasn't even in the car, but I still tell the insurance company. Should you ever have a claim, it won't be hard for them to find out and they won't pay out. Give an insurance company an inch and they fook you up big time!! H.

jazz1 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 well i never knew even though the accident recently happend you had to phone them up and tell them of a non fault claim. Well im not renewing with sky seeing as they added the clubs insurance scheme and even after adding 2 years, the price goes up by 20 pounds makes me laugh. I got a quote of 580 today told them everything and that inludes break down cover, hire car which sky were charging me extra 50 pounds for break down, so 580 compared to 700 is a big save and that company is not our club insurer:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I think Sky's biggest problem is that they seem to have gotten too big for their own good. Go on almost any car forum these days (certainly the Jap ones) and you'll find them there as the "recommended club insurer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I have been with Sky for a year now, my renewal has come through and its abit steep so im looking round , gathering quotes and comparing policies;) I have been happy with them so far but you only find out how good/bad they are when you claim...lol as others have said i would like to see some evidence of the club discount on the paperwork if possible.

Jay_vr6 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 hmmm I have just gone with sky insurance, they were over £70 cheaper than my renewal and inc like for like cover as an extra. I couldn't find another insurer that was cheaper than my renewal who were Admiral. go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I do hope its a one off about the Jazzs post. If they quote the same price for owners club memebers and non memebers then they are ripping on us. The whole point of being promoted on here is so they give us a discount?
