SupraDan24 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I got my renewal quote from sky at the start of Feb, it was over £100 more than i was paying the previous year which was around £1050 for both my Supra and my mini. It was a rediculous quote which i was never going to accept to ended up insuring the cars seperately in the end. The mini is under classic insurance with Adrian Flux for £199, the Supra is with Competition Car Insurance after Jurgens thread, and it was £530 fully comp for the year. Both are insured as just me as the driver, so no mums/gf's on there to bring the prices down. I'm 27 and have 4 years no claims. CCI was about £200 cheaper than anyone else. I saved around £400 in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 See THIS THREAD My insurance quote from Sky was by far the highest of any insurance companies I tried at £1200+ CCI were easily the cheapest at £311 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The only issue with CCI is there seems to be a few clauses that other members have mentioned which would really concern me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The only issue with CCI is there seems to be a few clauses that other members have mentioned which would really concern me If you are referring to my comments on cci, then I was wrong The only exemption that troubles me is the no third party cover to drive cars not owned. I thought that the car had to be home at night(after 10pm) and a few others but after reading the policy thoroughly they don't apply to me. If it wasn't my comments you were referring to then any other info would be good. I found CCI to be the best out of all of the specialised companies I phoned, not only because of the lowest price but also the friendly service. Need2insure were my second choice as they were great too. They even told me how good CCI were as they use them for their trackday cover. Need2insure can also do agreed value but only on OEM cars. All the others I have seen recommended were either too expensive or just couldn't be bothered to pick up their phones or ring me back after I left a message that I needed a quote. R.

Well thats good to hear as that was one of my concerns, my other is the agreed value side as its not agreed and you will have to prove your car is worth x amount which might be a problem. Only time will tell with that and if anyone we know has to claim, thats the only true time you really know how good your insurance is.

SupraDan24 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My CCI cover only covers me on the Supra as well, but i have the mini and the Mrs Stilo to drive as well so i wasnt bothered. 3 cars is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 LWIB wont insure you unless your 25+. i would definaty recommend Graham Skyes Insurance, they quotoed me £710 with all mods declared on my single and im only 24 with 6 years no claims. Nobody even came close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its with Aviva so I'm hoping that there won't be issues. If I had a truly perfect supra with huge power and a lot of money invested then I'd want agreed value.

Safely Insured Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 £1942!!!!!! the damn robbing bitches! was £1400 now went up to that.. now have 4 years driving exp and 4 years no claims!! with sky insurance.... any one got any ideas on who else?

dukenukem Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Try A-Plan. They've given me the best price for the past 2 years and I shopped round loads (around £640 per year for a '96 J-Spec TT). Sky were almost double. Tell them it's an import before you go through all the figures first so they can send you to the right dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robzki Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Can I ask what has changed as sky said that the renewal was not in line with their increases? Give CCI a ring. I am getting fed up with inflated renewals every year, Admiral lost my business this year after a 25% increase. When I phoned to cancel as I was now insured with someone else they told me I should have phoned as they could have saved me money. The bloke says its normal to haggle from renewal time as the renewal price is just there to give them somewhere to haggle from. I do haggle every year but I'm bored with the insurance game now. They can suck my socks in future. All I want is a decent renewal price in line with inflation not just a figure that they pluck out of the air to 'try it on'.

Dnk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I did say earlier you need to be 25 + for LWIB to quote you So what changed to knock nearly £600 off your premium ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You have to be 25+ with CCI. Do you? Damn. I've just renewed with Admiral but was going to check CCI out. I'll try speaking to them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I thought as all these companies are brokers that they would have access to other companies for the 'younger' driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The bit i dont get is, if you go direct to Aviva they dont seem to be very keen on mods yet if you go through CCI they dont seem bothered whats on the car, well they werent when i phoned them.

stevie_b Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Echoing Rob's and Dnk's comments, I'm also interested to know how £600 was knocked off the OP's premium. I applaud Ollie for taking the time to post in this thread and I'm pleased that the OP got a quote that he is happy with. I'm curious as to whether it was a drop in something like the estimated mileage: if so, it's not a like-for-like quote comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Your quote: £2735.44 admiral Where do you live? Mosside? I paid £1900 with Admiral on my first supe at 19, I'm now 23 and pay £750 fully comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
