Sky Insurance - best policy, best price, best service


Recommended Posts

Hello Sky (Jae, Ollie, Luke or whoever's reading this),

I'm really hoping you can help me out as you always have done in the past - I hope you're sitting comfortably as this may be a long one...

 

My brother and I are both currently insured through you, me on the supra and him on his car (which I won't mention here as it's embarrassing) the insurer in his case is NIG

 

We're going to buy our first track car tomorrow which, as you can imagine, is modified (cage, seats, harnesses, blah blah blah). After spending some time on the phone with one of your staff today my brother was told that NIG won't insure the new car as it's modified but have agreed to give a pro rata refund, which is absolutely fine.

 

So, our insurance requirements are as follows:

The car be insured with my brother as the policy holder and me as a named driver, both of us fully comp.

The car be insured as parked overnight at my address as he will not be using it as a daily driver until he moves house for a number of reasons:

  1. He won't actually need to use it as a daily driver until he moves house
  2. My postcode is a lower risk area so the premium is lower
  3. We wouldn't want to leave it there as it would be safer at mine (on my drive or in my garage not on the road outside his house)

 

We came to you, naturally, as we have both been with you for a long time and we both send everyone we know to you get their modified, non-modified and even commercial vehicles insured with you.

 

However my brother was told that the insurer, Markerstudy, wouldn't be able to insure the car at my address.

 

So we contacted Adrian Flux who said they would definitely be able to do it, including overnight at my address again with Markerstudy.

 

So he called your guys back who still insisted they couldn't do it. We even asked them to call the insurer to ask or even add an exclusion that said the car wasn't covered for fire and theft at my brother's current address but they couldn't.

 

We would still very much like to insure the car with you as, no offence to them, we don't really like Adrian Flux as much as you guys, we have an existing relationship with you and we'd really rather keep all our insurance in one place.

 

So please please please help us out, we need our insurance in place asap as we're picking the car up tomorrow!!!!

Hi Sky man / woman / non-gender specific internet entity.

 

Hoping you can look into something for me.

I've just renewed my Supra policy with yourselves with a small increase in premium over last yaer. No drama's there though.

The problem is, the list of modifications that I had on previous years has now just been replaced with "alloy wheels".

I've spent probably 4 hours over the weekend trying to dig out the old paperwork that I know for a fact included all the mods I'd done, but I'll be damned if I can find it. I think it was when I renewed in 2008. (I certainly remember explaining what had / had not been done to either Ollie or Jae - can't remember which one it was though).

My concern is that if when I fill in the modification report form and send it back to you, you'll end up hiking up my premium.

I'm sure that won't be the case as I'm paying far far more than I was before I modified the car, but thought it would be worth giving you a shout just to be sure.

Could you have a look into it for me?

 

Cheers!

^ I'll drop you a PM.

 

Thanks

 

Ollie,

 

Thanks a lot for talking to my brother (Darren) today, it's nice to know there are still people with their head screwed on correctly.

I'll certainly be sending you a pm at next renewal. :)

 

cheers,

 

Russell.

Spoke to Jason on the phone today, he was friendly and helpful and sorted me out nicely.

 

£1579 for 23 Year old Male, 2 years NCB, 1 fault accident and 1 non-fault accident in the last 5 years.

 

Overall I'm very happy with the competitive price (cheaper than anywhere else I could find) and the service that was given.

 

Thanks guys!

Hi Sky,

 

I'm about to switch my insurance with you from a NA Supra (without airbags) to a GZ (with drivers airbag). I have a aftermarket steering wheel that I want to use and just want to check,... will putting an aftermarket steering wheel without airbag effect or invalidate my Sky insurance?

 

thanks,

Ed

I asked Sky about this before and the answer was no. They don't do multicar policies so I am having to take out a 2nd policy (and seperate no-claims) for the Supra. However, they have given me full no-claims discount on the 2nd policy which was very good of them, no other insurers offered so much discount.
