Steve W2 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I have just had an email from EGG offering me motor insurance. Thought I'd put my details in to see what they had to offer. B L I M E Y - Is all I can say!! They were cheaper than Tesco's for me on my import GZ TT and they had all the models listed a lot more accurately than most. Definetly worth a go, I am 25 FNCB living in a decent area, 3 points nothing else. £490 Fully comp with £150 compulsory excess. My Tesco quote last year was £620, didn't get one this year as I am have not been insured on the Supe since I renewed my policy a short time ago. EDITED: To say I did have to have a CAT1 alarm, but I don't know of any Supra owners who haven't got that anyway:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Got that too. Tried egg before and crap. This time better than direct line and tesco Do they allow mods? As also you get 0% on the insurance balance if paid off in the year, 50 quid cashback for paying by car, and discount for being a card holder!!! Looks like I could be using them in Oct depending on mod situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Prawn Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 EGG WILL NOT INSURE IMPORTS I took out insurance with them damn cheap, when policy came through it said nothing about car being an import. Checked with them and they WILL NOT insure them, so I got a full refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Prawn Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I tried to insure an RZ they were the cheapest by along way. They don't know what they are doing. That list is a generic car list from elsewhere, they may list them but won't insure them. If someone gets insurance for an import let me know as I will have them over the coals as I was driving for 2 weeks uninsured!!!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same took it out but when it came through it was for a UK car. Rang to query and the said, and I repeat 'we don't insure imports'.

Bill Prawn Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 On the website if it doesn't say import next to the listed car then they won't insure it. That is the line from EGG as I have just phoned and queried why they cancelled my policy. Looking on their site again soon for more info.

Bill Prawn Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 This is taken from the EGG site. All Drivers are at least 17 years of age, hold a valid driving licence and are permanently resident in the U.K. The total number of fault accidents or claims, including theft claims for all drivers does not exceed 3 in the last 3 years. The total number of convictions, fixed penalties or disqualifications for each driver does not exceed 2 in the last 5 years. No driver has any illnesses or disabilities that affects their driving. The vehicle is owned and registered by yourself, at your address and has not been modified or altered in any way (including wheels, suspension, bodywork and engine). You can use the vehicle in connection with your business. If your spouse/partner is named to drive, they can also use the vehicle in connection with their business. Use in connection with the Motor Trade is excluded. Your business or the business of your employer is not in anyway connected with any of the following: the entertainment and fashion industry, professional sports, foreign service or diplomatic personnel, scrap or salvage merchants, general dealers or market traders, mini-cab drivers or controllers. The vehicle must be a U.K. model or built to U.K. specifications (unless the vehicle description selected specifically states 'Import'). The vehicle is owned and registered by yourself, at your address and has not been modified or altered in any way (including wheels, suspension, bodywork and engine). The vehicle must be a U.K. model or built to U.K. specifications (unless the vehicle description selected specifically states 'Import'). The last one is interesting as none of the Supra's listed say import. I just got a quote and it was still cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarface GTti Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 The cheapest quote i could find was £1230 with CIS. They were the cheapest by far. I resisted getting a quote from elephant.co.uk as i`ve heard that they`ll do anything to get out of paying out but my brother persuaded me to try them. Got a quote of £729 fully comp. elephant it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well another weird one - put in the make, model, year and sure enough up pops R32 GTR and R33 GTR neither of which were ever a UK model. The R33 GTR was only a UK model from 1997 on. I think you can get away with it on the UK spec type thing, as essentially they are very little different - would be nice to have an official line though. Also depends on their stand with mods. It basically underwritten by the same company as Direct Line, Tesco and Privilege and they all insure imports so Egg should too......

SexySallySupra Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 After reading this threat I phoned egg and the first question I asked is "do you insure imports"??? Answer...... YES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 That was the same answer they gave me. They then add if it says so beside the list of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 If you tell them that its imported and your policy says the correct specification of car GZ TT for example. Thats their problem if at a later date it not right and you have an accident. They are offering a selection of cars that were only available as imports. We are not the insurance brokers, they are, we are all dumb and have chosen our cars from their list. Providing your olicy shows the model spec you have, they don't have a leg to stand on. Bill - have you considered its possible they fcuked your insurance up and told what waht they did, but were wrong? Every indication suggests that they do insure imports and do provide good cheap quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Nice one sexysally. Steve - completely agreed. If they have your model of car down in black and white and all the details match up theres nothing they can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 What model are you putting in there steve? Mine is coming up more expensive than NUD at £726 with full no claims no accidents, no claims ever, no points and 32 years old. I put in both GZ TT and SZ N/A both come up with the same amount as per all the other sites. You can't tell me that the difference between your postcode and mine is worth nearly £300 on a premium i would have to be living in beirut..
