They were a joke for me.

They wanted ?1200 yes ?1200 for my Bora before I declaired any MODS or POINTS!! I told them that there were TWICE the price of Direct Line and they just said 'Well, thats our quote'!! WTF!!

My Bora is only a 115bhp SE!!!

Im not even paying ?1200 with direct line will my MODS and POINTS decalired!!

 

[Mikedav]

They wont even quote me mate. Im 22 with a 2.8, they say the engine cc is too high for under 25s. But they would cover me on a chipped 1.8T. Which would be faster.

Muppets

 

[njonesn]

Im fing 26 with a 115 Diesel!!!

As I say I did not even metion my points or mods. ?1200 is just rude!!!!!!

 

[LiQuOrIcE]

im 23 with a gt tdi 110 and it is very cheap for me. maybe its where you live?

 

[njonesn]

I do live in a bad area for insurance groups, but that does not explain or justify their pathetic quote!

Sorry. Im quite pished off!!!!!

 

[PaulGT]

i think you'll find its as liquorice says! they are way ott for me as i live in a high crime rated area (suposidly) and my mate lives in a medium risk and its much better for him, as he is with them!

 

[njonesn]

Still find it hard to believe that their quote was double that of Direct Line. Direct Line were obvioulsy quoting for the same area and my premium did go up when I moved here.

 

[Golfgirl]

They gave me a ridiculous quote too!

 

[njonesn]

How you doing (Joey Style) [] ?

 

[wallacel]

Have you tried More Than. Got my 115pd for ?480 protected NCD, 25yrs young. Might be worth a try. [?]

 

[njonesn]

Think I have tried almost everywhere; but come June (when my insurance needs renewing) I will try them all again.

 

[PJ]

Have you tried www.confused.com .They trawl the online companies for you.

 

[njonesn]

Ok, well Direct Bell came out ontop. Never heard of them but they are part of the Admiral group. Did not declare my points or mods for the ease of it; im only after rough ideas. Will give them a go closer to the time.

 

[Del]

I'm with Bell Direct, they gave me a cheaper quote than the renewal with Elephant who are also part of the same group.

Don't think Bell are mod friendly though.

 

[GreenBeast]

bell direct are ok with moids they just don't replace them...but not many companies will.

i also got a ridiculous quote from Liverpool Victoria, ended up with elephant

 

[njonesn]

So they charge you for having them, but don?t replace them!!! Where is the sense in that!!

I checked with direct line. If I have an accident, they will return my car as it is now, body kit, alloys etc included. To prevent scams they increase the excess on accidental damage so if I reverse into a wall I have to pay the 1st ?500, but if another car is involved my excess is still low. Kind of makes sense as if a body kit is looking a bit tired someone could just rip it off or purposely damage it and get the insurance to pay to have it replaced. By upping the excess to ?500 it would make people think twice.

LOL funny you should mention them. I had a go and the plus side is you get a good page of quotes, but the downside? For me:

Lowest Quote: ?7,342 FC

Highest Quote: ?27,432 FC

Average Quote: ?15,444 FC

So I moved on! Njondsefiiefiefef, try Adrian Flux. Im going with them next - they allow mods, and quoted me ?1,300 without any NCB. THey said once I had my 5 years Id get 50% off that too (less than the 66% I get off with Egg, but as I say they allow mods)

 

[TigerStyle]

Try Frizzell. They were cheaper than LV when we did it. They let you do what ever you want with the car, as long as you dont increase the displacement.

 

[S1R SS]

LV wanted ?2.2k from me!! Ridiculous.

Also, the quotes on www.confused.com were more than if i went to the companys site. My cheapest quote via confused was ?890 @ Admiral, but the Admiral site gave me ?670

 

[terminator]

Think you will find that Liverpool Victoria is only competitive for older drivers, 25 plus. For old farts like me (40) LV is cheaper than any other, by some margin. I pay ?599 pa with ?100 excess for my modded (declared) PD150!
