This years insurance comparison - Golf Sportline Cabriolet

Ok, so its that time of the year again, so grabbed the company mobile :-), put aside an hour or two, and did the ringing around.

The last two years no ones come close to Peter Best, but this year i wanted to try some of the newer names that have come up over the club over the past 12 months

Insurance based on:

My Details
29 years old, Male
no claims, no convictions
Access to daily car with 8 years NCB against it
3 cars in total at household
Bristol postcode
Full time employeed - Sales Manager
Home owner

Insurance Basis - Classic Car Policy
Social Domestic and Pleasure
Fully Comp
Added the  mods this year of coilovers and changed wheels
car garaged overnight
£5000 agreed value
Quotes on 3000 and 5000 mile limit per year

So here is how they came out:

(1)Peter Best
They only wanted £20 more to add the wheel and coilover changed, but it shot up when moving to 5000 miles

They did include breakdown cover though which the others dont (but i have this seperate anyway).

3000 miles - £175.00
5000 miles - £221.00

(2) Lancaster Insurance

3000 miles - £277.90
5000 miles - £310.00

(3) Sureterm Direct

3000 miles - £338.13
5000 miles - Didnt ask as above price was so high

(4) Adrian Flux

3000 miles - didnt ask as 5000 mile price so good
5000 miles - £150.00

This also includes
- any further cosmetic mods with no change to premium
- i emailed them over pics of my car and have agreed with them before i have commited to taking out a policy, my agreed value of £5000 is accurate and acceptable, as one of the member recently had problems with an agreed value with them
- this includes commuting incase i take it to work on the occasional sunny day (others are just social , domestic and pleasure)
£100,000 free legal cover
£150 excess, £80 windscreen
+ £36 if i wanted breakdown

(5) Carole Nash

4000 miles - £175.00

included AA breakdown cover
Agreed Value
Salvage rights
£100 excess

(6) Bishop Callaway

I emailed them for quote and they emailed back saying they could not beat the £150.00 Adrain Flux Price




My Peter Best policy is up on weekend and i will prob head in Adrain Flux's direction :-)

Just thought it might help others roughly pricing insurance etc

If anyone thinks there is anyone else i should try this week let me know

Cheers

+1 for Adrian Flux. I called them awhile back and they quoted. £168 for the same vehicle as you based on a 3000 mile/yr limit. 

Tried doing A Flux online but need to do it on the phone when I get a chance.

Need my car with agreed value ASAP.

Adrian Flux have struggled to match my current insurer and indeed my other recent policies over the years. They have always quoted me just not really competetively enough for me to go with them

Might be a postcode thing??

And the rest      

Scott - i am not 30 till May!

whats up, jelous because your insurance is so expensive :-)

Just done A Flux online for £195 with mods, so after my hols I will give them a call and get it down a but and agreed valuation sorted.

i'll give Adrian Flux a call later this week, I think its time I got the Sportline taxed and insured and on the road !.

The foreactst suggests the weather is going to improve from next week.

Phoned up and sorted my insurance with Adrian Flux today, ready for when my policy ends with Peter Best.

I spoke with Adrian Flux today, they couldn't beat my quote from Lancaster at £193, they said it would be about double that price.

Ill try Footman James and Peter Best on the weekend before I commit.

Got a fantastic deal from HIC at £161 and I can drive any other car third party!.

adrain flux just smashed everyone out the water this year

on my diesel £98 3000miles

Have you tried a multi vehicle policy?

i do have my mk2 insured with them also

asked about adding it to that policy but it isn't a classic car policy so couldn't do it as it wouldn't have the classic car bonus like agreed values etc

I will be on to yourselves tomorrow hopefully as I've already done a quote online and want to
firm it up on the phone and work out the photo bit for the agreed valuation.

Try FJ then as they do it. Pay £80 for mine. Nobody else comes close

Just sorted with Adrian Flux with agreed value, all mods, courtesy car, 3000 miles etc for just under £200.

Happy enough even if I could have saved a wee bit more.

Mine is all singed up and sorted.

No problems with the agreed value, agreed in value before i took policy out via photos emailed to valuation team, followed by photo's taken after i took policy out sent into them, agreed value certifcate back next day

Top service, i never thought anyone was gona beat peter best after my last 2-3 years with you, but you did :-)
