a98pmalcolm Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Oh I told Sky "Are you having a laugh?" Told them straight up I will have to phone around. Footman James sound interesting providing they will cover highly modified cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footman James sound interesting providing they will cover highly modified cars. Footman James for me were the biggest joke I had so far from a insurance company They told me "as from today were only insuring people from 40yrs onwards on these cars" So in other words they wont insure a old 1996 TT6 to a guy who is a handsome 37 year old with 10+ NCB with no points etc Im with Sky, always had good service from them and always been the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footman James sound interesting providing they will cover highly modified cars. They are great for classic cars and kit cars but as far as I am aware they only cover light modifications.

dash Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yes Mine's a daily driver so don't think classic car insurance is suitable.Thanks for the reccommendation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Who did you deal with at Sky and did they sort this out for you? Edited June 24, 2017 by Frank Bullitt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Who did you deal with at Sky and did they sort this out for you? I ended up getting a few quotes else where and they lowered the cost to a similar price, I added the extras I have done this year and upped the agreed value to 30k. I also proposed a deal and they agreed that when I move house I wont be charged the admin fee, meaning that they ended up being a little cheaper than the competitor.

So you are happy with the deal you received in the end despite having to jump through several hoops? Who did you deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Current premium is £450 through Flux and underwritten by Marker Study. Renewal price from Flux is £465, so told them if ring round. Called Sky and they want £730 for the same cover; told them to jog on. Over 30 with 9 years NCB and extensively modified; any other recommendations on brokers?

a98pmalcolm Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 I got a cheaper quote from flux but after speaking to HIC they saw flux missed loads off what i told them so i didnt want to try flux again. Im also with market study via sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
