Suprakeith Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My insurance in up for renewal end of month and am with sky insurance,the policy last year cost £720 which i thought was fair as it was 1st year with sky plus new car, this year my renewal from sky was £1018!! I almost fell over when saw that figure,rang them up and said best they could do was £782 but still thought too high so rand adrian flux and quote is £610 for the year so alot better. Does make me wonder why a insurance compant can increase my renewal that much when havent made claim or got caught speeding and dont use the car that much i have only done 4.5k miles since got her last year. Needless to say i will be changing insurance companys later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to look at a classic policy if you are doing 4.5K miles. I am 37 with two other cars in the household. Supra is on 5K limited miles and I paid £303.00 last year. Car is NOT garaged but on my drive. We do not live in the best of post codes either. I would give Lynbrook or LWIB a call. They were the best when I was looking. H.

kokoro Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Can recommend Livingstones Warman. They beat all the competition by a whopping £100. Mine was £485 all in, fully comp. Excellent policy and they do club discount! Extremely helpful staff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Most the insurance hikes are due to being a repeat customers as there was a feature on watchdog about how new customers can get nearly a 30% better deal than existing, As stupid as it sounds you are best off by getting your old policy to end and applying again as that way you can get the new customer rates.

Basically if it is a luxury car tht is only used for SDP then getting it on a classic is a no brainer. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware of classic policies - you don't accrue NCB with them. I had 5 years claim free driving on a classic policy and they wouldn't issue me with NCB as proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 5 years claim free driving on a classic policy and they wouldn't issue me with NCB as proof I know. If you have other cars in the household you should be accruing NCB on them instead. You can't lose can you? I have NCB on my daily drive for work and the missus havs full NCB on her daily too. During negotiations woth insurance companies I have mentioned that we have the Supra on a classic for 3 - 4 years without a claim and they have given additional discount to the original price quoted.

stevie_b Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Soopra: too late for you I guess for but for others, most insurers will honour NCB that is 2 years old, so you could insure the car on a classic policy for 2 consecutive years, then on a normal policy for 1 year to refresh the NCB. I'm in a similar position at the moment: the household has 2 cars and 2 drivers, both drivers having built up significant NCB. I've nearly done 2 years on a classic policy. At renewal time I'll either put it on a normal policy, write off my NCB and leave it on a classic, or do some jiggery pokery with the 2nd car alternativing between policyholders (fiddly, not if it's worth it).
