FOOTMAN JAMES INSURANCE ......your having a laugh!!!!!

just got a quote from FJ for my  car……almost fell off my seat when they wanted ?500 !wit a ?250xs!!!!

I only pay 145 fully comp now…..what a joke they are.

I have no convictions, no accidents and 10yrs no claims!!!

i pay 90 quid with them,cheapest i could find,good policy too
Bert

I pay sod all too with my classic policy, agreed value and all mods declared.  :mrgreen:

Two gti's, agreed value, EU breakdown cover,fully comp on both cars = ?182.10 for the year…. FJ done it for me… I was well chuffed… I think they're brilliant  :dontknow:

I'm a Londoner with a GTI Cabby and for me they were cheap as chips mate. Must of been something you said!

spudfingers was that  on a classic car policy, an agreed mileage and excess ?
 i have used them for years and always found them to be really good,,,, but this time when i wanted to change from my mk1g60 all mods declared to a mk1 diesel they wanted the same amount for my diesel…

they couldnt offer a classic policy as the car is a 93!!!!!

Yes it was mate.  3,000 miles (probably why mine was sooo good I take it yours is a daily?) and agreed value of ?3,000 for one and ?1,000 for the other.

limited to 6000 miles a year, i'm hoping that will come down when i insure my latest gti

For 4,500 I was quoted ?200 so not a big increase at each stage really?

i will be calling them again just waiting until my car is ready to go onto the road again..

The wife is Insured with FJ on a Classic policy, her cabby is a 93.
She has 5K limited miles and all mods declared for about ?400 Fully Comp with 1 years no claims.

I got them to quote me for my Mk1 G60 and they wouldn't even quote so I stuck with HIC

I got a quote from FJ ?193 then tried my company that I have for the X Trail. Roland Smith of Liverpool quoted me ?109 for the same agreed value with a 3000 mileage limit.

Obviously I sacked FJ as they just weren't competative enough.

Rubbish, my 93 is on a classic policy with them, they will do it.  I got with them a GTi, GTi cab and GTd on a classic multicar policy for ?100, good deal imo.

all insurance companies are leaches and rip off merchants imo, they all make stacks of money

WOW your smart!

I agree they are rip-off merchants but the 10% who think it OK to not be insured certainly don't help.

Blimey, think i hit a nerve!!!!

All i was aying is that its amazing how inconsistent insurance companies can be from quote to quote.

So my mk1 is a 93, should that matter?? I thought 15 years was a requirement for classic cover… obviously not in this case……… and for this company!!

Nahh… Everyone has an opinion on insurance, it's just one of those subjects, let's face it NOBODY wants it until they have a smash or a burglary or fall ill, then it's the best money they've ever spent.

White mans burden mate.

  I'll bear that in mind when I get a G60!  :wink: Makes you wonder!
The inconsistency thing is right though. Sometimes you think some have plucked a random price off the top of their heads. Like the comparison sites coming up with everything from ?500 to ?130 for the same cover.  :?
