car insurance

Well my cars nearly ready for the road so I have been ringing round for insurance. I have phoned a couple today and got some interesting prices one wanted nearly 800 quid and another was 380 fully comp on a classic policy with limited milage which sounds reasonable to me bearing in mind what Ive done to my car. I am 34 years old and have limited the milage to 2000 a year so what does everyone else pay and does this seem reasonable any info would be great

I pay just over ?300 (310? I think?) with Adrian Flux. I'm 31 and have it on a classic policy, fully comp and 5000 miles a year. Car's an 1800 carb clipper (non-gti) GTi was just a few pounds more though (325?) at the time.

HTH

?272 fully comp. sdp and commuting. 15000 per year. 35yrs old the AA

My 1.5 GLS was ?15 to add to my policy - fully comp, recovery, legal etc, agreed value, unlimited miles

got a quote on mine and its going to cost me ?1600 third party  

think i'm going to ring arouind before i put her on the road

Im about ?280 with Flux. Fully comp, classic, valued etc.

I am 31, P reg 1.3 is ?304 fully comp, X reg 1.5 is ?148 fully comp on classic insurance with limited mileage of 2,000, free breakdown cover etc , this is with norwich union
Pete :wink:

Footman James for me ?3000 agreed value , 3500 miles a year . [1983 GTI]

?166.00

But i am old  

Chris - Have you tried www.footmanjames.co.uk because they did mine for something like ?250 - cant remember exact figure off top of my head - 3,000 mile limit - all mods declared - guaranteed value ?5k - fully comp

35 years young.
1500 limited miles
Agreed value ?2000

?108 with Footman James

im 31, clean licence etc

Footman james, agreed value ?4500, 3000miles a year ?174

It looks like footman james for me too Ive rang them today and I got quoted ?250 well happy with that

Damn - everyone elses footman james quotes seem to be a fair bit lower than mine…

6000 miles, ?3000 agreed value, all mods declared, 30, garaged at night ?375 (includes breakdown cover though).

Think it is a bit of a postcode lottery to be honest or perhaps it is the 6000 miles???

When I phoned tham today I forgot to ask them If I could keep my car if it was wrote off so does anybody whos insured with them know.
Just keep ringing round Woza I got lots of varying prices but found if I insured my car on a classic policy it is alot cheeper so it might be worth checking one of the classic car mags for insurance companies who specialise in them

I am with footman james on a classic policy - noone else could get close in terms of price. Think the next nearest was about ?600… Think car crime is pretty high in my postcode (although the area seems ok to me!)

I think you can always keep your car if it is written off - as long as you don't claim. Or you can strip what you want from the car and claim but get a lowered value.

I had a car that was written off previously and the offer the insurance company made was a joke so I kept the car and broke it. Made nearly twice what they offered me and didn't lose my no claims bonus!

my quote is about the same woza, it's dodgey postcode, when i lived at matlock de4 postcode, was one of the lowest crime areas i got much cheaper insurance, but now postcode is s43, comes under sheffield one of the worst areas for car crime  :cry:

Hi

A great place to get a new quote for VW car insurance is Homeapproved.

They feature every UK motor insurer and delivered the cheapest quote for me.
