At 33 with three years no claims they quote me ni on £2000 That's ridiculous. How the hell do Tesco decide on their quotes? OK I'm a bit older than you (37yo) an dUI've got 4years NCD but I've also got one current SP50 (3 points) and I was banned for a year starting Sep 97, although they apparently don't care about that because it's more tha 5 years ago(even though it's gotta stay on my license for 10 years) Beats me, still I'm happy. It usually works the other way around for me, eveyone else gets the good deals and I miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jive Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Just like to register my interest in this. Bought my aerotop on Monday and continued my insurance with Tesco's uptil the 29th June as I couldn't be arsed to go through all the hassle of starting new insurance. So put me down on the list as a very interested owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Got the quote on the phone today from Tesco's. £487.00 !!!!! Felt a little guilty so declared my new OZ Alloys £570.00 so still very good. There has to be some benefit to being 46 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 yes... the benefit is that you are just as fast in a SUP as all the younger guys!!!!!lol;) There's hope/ yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Matt, What happened about this, is it a no go'er ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid_lifecry_sis Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 would have thought that a club discount for all of us taking policy would mean we get say 5%, but the paperwork, geewiz superman.... we can probably get more by haggling~? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Mid, other car groups get it at discount, plus things like teack day cover for free. And at what point can you haggle with an insurance company, I could see that now: "Right Mr Mid, your new yearly premium works out to £1500", "sod that, tell ya what call it £1350 and you have a deal", "err, thanks for your call Mr Mid, see you around", and the phone would be put down on ya followed by hesterics of laughter.

michael Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 FWIW Dorset have lost loads of customers this year, they aren't as competitive or mod friendly as they used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardharmon Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I called Dorset for a quote when I added my boost controller, they said they wouldn't even insure an import, unless it was an MR2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 After many, many phone calls and promises of returned phone calls from a girl called Sarah, (who, after the first few calls, was always busy when I phoned), and no-one else could do anything because she was the one that dealt with clubs... I gave up. Apart from anything else, IMO, they'd have been a nightmare if you'd ever needed to make a claim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard there pretty crap these days and as Michael has already said about the MR2 guys the GT-Four Owners Club are getting stuffed on renewal. Not worth pursuing IMO.

paulfurn Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Ive just taken out insurance on a J-spec 1997 Supra with Norwich Union. I have 0 years NCB (as was named driver) and have declared alloys (at an extra £221 FFS) BUT they dont add a premium on for RLTC which is nice. Total £2791 FFS FFS FFS FFS!!! Sometihng to watch out for is that their online quote facility didnt have the option to add mods, but when I recieved the certificate through the post mods where stated as "None". Still, after some of the guys experience here its probably best to declare everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 too tired to read this whole thread but i was about to hand over my card details to tesco so if i can get a better deal within a week i'll take it £1800 to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Paul £2791 are you mad! Rosie is there something your not telling us about your car, is it finished? If not why pay £1800 whilst its being worked on? Dont take this the wrong way but if I were you I'd wait till the big day to insure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I suggest Liverpol Victoria, but you may need to be over 30 (I know you do for Scoobies) My current price is £729 fully comp, Jap import TT (UK was only £550) IIRC, this includes any mods, except larger capacity engine, trackday cover (but not time trials or racing), business use, does not stipulate any alarm/mobiliser and can be parked anywhere overnight. Anyone else use LV, any bad experiences? J:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 rosie have you tried HIC on 08451 290 290 they boast they will cover anyone on anything, mods aren't a problem as they don't see anything other than a big power hike as a mod:) just wondering, they have been good for me in the past:thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
