nellie1966 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just renewed my V8 aero top with Greenlight, 2000 mile limit , legal cover, wind screen cover, courtesy car, £250 excess (£347.00), this with V8 conversion ,Brakes, import etc. Goes up to £389, 4000 miles. Sky was £480. Adrian flux went up £58 to £429 this year not down. Never heard of them before, and great to deal with, no waiting on the phone for 10 mins either. Mods not a problem. Anybody else used these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) my admiral re renewal will be here anytime , been with them for years , footmans quote is ok so ill wait and see I've been mainly with Admiral over the 16 years I had my Supra with only 2 excursions with other providers for two years total. I always get cheaper quotes online from the comparison sites than the renewal price quoted by Admiral so I always get the online price when I talk to them. For those wondering how insurers determine a classic here is a definition from the AA insurance website: "If you're over 25 years old, your car is standard build over 15 years old, and you do less than 7,500 miles a year, then we can help." As a footnote there does seem to be a big downgrading of premiums happening at the moment. Just got a quote on my truck that is half what it was last year with no alterations on personal circumstance or available no claims bonus..

neilp9876 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Just been quoted £166 LV insurance on a 5,000 mileage fully comp PNCD. Was with £100 voluntary plus £200 compulsory excess though. So likely to go for a £188 Admiral on £100 voluntary excess. This may affect people but just asked for a quote from LV and they will not do Fully Comp on my 93 Supra, if I change it to a 94 its ok so they must have a 20 year cut off! How anybody gets a quote of £166 amazes me, i'm 46, no points, no accidents, 6Yr NCD and live in a rural area, cheapest I get is around £500.

Or Bayroute as it is sometimes spelt on here. We pay £280. Two x 39 year olds with full no claims, no garage but only doing 3000 miles a year. WN2 post code.

Dnk Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Do a postcode search, perhaps its not as good as you think http://www.visitcars.co.uk/car-insurance/insurance-post-code-risk.html http://www.motorcarinsuranceuk.co.uk/post-code-ratings.php Edited June 2, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Its HP15 6ED, comes up as "B" or low risk. Just entered the car as standard (no mods) on Admiral and it dropped to £508 rather than £540, took the wife off as a named driver and it jumped back up £40. Really doesnt make sense to me.

neilp9876 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Is this a daily driver Neil? Nope, limited to 5000 miles, plus its garaged. they are all fairly consistent so it must be something they dont like, will experiment a little bit. Just put in your postcode (WN2) and the quote was £590. Edited June 2, 2014 by neilp9876 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put in your postcode (WN2) and the quote was £590. Have you tried Lynbrook or LWIB then? As long as you don't have silly mods (single turbo etc) you should be ok. My premium plummeted when I rang them. I also NEVER tell them what my best quote is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 LWIB use Markerstudy as far as im aware and they don't get great reviews on the web. Very cheap cover though, i was with them for a while on my widebody, £300 for fully comp agreed value policy in decent postcode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Using the Admiral website: If I say I am a "bank manager" rather than an a "Software developer" it drops my quote by £100. Nothing else seems to have any affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I just used confused.com with your age and post code on an RZ twin turbo worth £6k 5000 miles 6 yrs ncd and Adrian fllux are the cheapest at £327, that was using myself as self employed property owner/landlord Edited June 2, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My premium plummeted when I rang them. I also NEVER tell them what my best quote is. Lynbrook Swapping my mk1 golf for an N/A aerotop was a heady £35 more for the year.
