Scutch0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 wanting to reduce the cost of insuring the supra as i have a runabout now, currently with sky and dropping the mileage from 10,000 to 3,000 has only reduced the cost of insurance but £100 I was hoping to drop it down a couple of hundred! Anyone know of companies that offer good discounts for limited mileage? I was considering going for a classic policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 have you changed the type of milage from commuting to just social sort of use? heard that helps abit mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'd get a few quotes from other companies & ask Sky to match it, you'll have to do all the leg work I am afraid. I am with admiral (ex sky customer), they certainly do a good price & excellent customer service. Classic policy will certainly make it cheaper in most cases, though some policies have increased to 20 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Abz, Its about ringing around, painful but worth it, Admiral for me as well on my cars (no imports!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My insurance is up in Feb I think...will be shopping around though. Renewal came in for my MR2 and after phoning sky saying I had been quoted alot cheaper they immediately dropped their price around £150!? Why not just give a good quote in the first place!

Josh42 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Although mine is only an NA, I'm 18 and I'm with Admiral. For some reason they would quote me on imports online, but when I called up after paying, they said they wouldnt insure imports. Fortunately for me because I had paid and had quoted them their number they said they had to honour it. The guy on the phone seemed quite pleased for me=] And before the questions I'm a design engineer Living with parents Mileage is 10000 a year Kept on a driveway SDP&C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So despite you being a club member and them being the club insurer you do all the run around and get yourself a decent quote and then give them a chance to get your business despite failing you miserably the first time round....

Scutch0 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Sky's quote was £790. So considerably cheaper. The reason I'm giving them a chance to match the quote is that I won't have to come up with a deposit if i can stay with them, plus my other car is insured with them and It has mirrored no claims Edited December 30, 2011 by Scutch0 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over £200 differance is a joke seeing as their the club insurer, its strange how the other companies seem to get straight to their best price with none of the messing around.

haz182 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 i would suggest going to a site called competition car insrance - quoted me half the price of what sky did. im 26 got a 550hp single with 100s of mods paying 51 quid a month. agreed value of 13k millage limited to 5k a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am a happy bunny tonight. My renewal has just come through from Competition Car Insurance and has gone down by £200! The great thing is that although they have a list of the modifications on the schedule, it doesn't seem to make any difference to the price. Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
