Markie Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just letting you know of my dealings with them. Had a re-quote for this year from Bell Direct... The misses and I insured came to £740. Thought I would try this Sky Insurance place, with just me on the policy. Answer I got was "Well, that quote you have seems very good, let me speak with the underwriters and get back to you in 5 minutes..." Heard nothing since. That was a few days ago, seems they arnt the best on price and the feeleing I got from them was that their quote was not even going to be close to the Bell Direct quote. Both policys are with the car being marked as modified.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSZ Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sky where rubbish for me as well, called them up and they said £2500ish ended up with lancaster for £1100ish and thats a 21yr old 0 ncb and one write off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale B Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Did you Guys speak to either Jae or Scott .. theyre the two that deal with this club and more importantly know Supras. They were brilliant with me, got me the best quote (fully declared and fixed valuation) and also didnt charge when I went from Hybrids to Single ... top blokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I KNOW Scott was on holiday last week 'cos i got some woman who.....err.. ...wasn't quite with it ! ! ! Scott knew SZ's etc. The only fault SO far is i'm still waiting from 3 1/2 weeks ago for documents IN FACT they've just issued me a SECOND Cover Note which seems a tad pessimistic (the 'woman' said 3-4 weeks is quite normal ?? but i've never had to wait THAT long before, normally 2 days - 1 week ! ! !)

Daston Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I also had a quote of 2500 for a SZ with lancaster too for 900 fully comp (21, 2 years NCB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 You guys who have had a cheaper quote, i would ask your insurers how much they would pay out if you wrote the car off? I was with tesco and all declared as modified and i was paying a much higher premium for the priviledge, but they were cheaper than sky. I asked the above question and they said they would only pay out 6k maximum so that made my mind up right away and went to sky who agreed 15k at a £200 a year more than tesco! Beware...

supradibbs Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 i found sky insurance superb 26 5 years ncb norich union £1200 sky £560!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Im paying over 3x that!! I suppose parking on the road and living in a council estate doesnt help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sky plucked a number out the air for me (around the £2500 mark) without knowing anything apart from the fact I was 23 and had a Supra. No taa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachargedtt Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Id be annoyed if that was the case as usually i shop around everyone for a quote and i only went to sky as the club recomended them and said they were cheaper etc I have had a good experience with them but im not liking what im hearing about them so when its up for renewal i might do a bit of shopping around...

Faye Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 They were excellent for me, saved about £600 on my renewal quote from Tesco. As far as I can see like any insurance company its down to your personal circumstances and their policies. Personally I think anyone is daft not to shop around. An insurer will cover the masses, but there will always be people outside the criteria they can cater for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Didnt really save a lot of money by going Sky, however the policy is a lot better, got my car insured for a fixe value - mod decalred, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 gotta say i spoke to Scott and Jae, and they sorted me out really well, and with a 2nd car on the insurance too. the next cheapest was Admiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Brilliant for me too. Just because they offer specialist policies doesn't mean they will cover anyone driving anything, if you're a high risk you're a high risk I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I spoke to Scott and he seemed to know supra's inside out..... but I really think that anyone under 25 is going to struggle, £2500 seems to be their "go away and stop bothering us" figure. That said I'll definately be going back to them in a year or so's time, seems that for the over 25's they're quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 On the subject of insurance, what's the deal with Bell not covering the SZ manual? They say "we can cover the automatic import but not the manual"! Anybody else had the same problems, or managed to get cover with them???

toyotasuprauk Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 They were good for me too. Like any insurance company though they simply wont be good for every member its just not possible. Mattsz I have to say I'm surprised Lancaster quoted you £1100! Only 21 no NCB an import and a write off that has to be the every tick in the how to demand a huge premium book.

Paul Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I've been with Bell for over four years now on the Supra and the price keeps dropping year on year. Now at about £360 comp/protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 It might be worth me mentioning that when I spoke to Jae he mentioned that they don't usually cover Supras, unless they come through the club. That might explain why some of you are getting astronomic quotes. SupraDibbs: you got a quote of £1200 through Norwich Union They quoted me 1900 before I mentioned any mods 29 6yrs noclaims, they said if I was 30 it would have dropped by 500 quid Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I rang up a few times asking to speak to Scott or Jae, was told each time they'd ring me back....that was 2 months ago! Didn't even get to start a quote with them, not gonna bother if they're sayin UK cars are RZs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
