Just had my renewal, £550 :o just had a quick look on the compare sites and best I've got so far is £390 :'(
What's everyone else paying and who with, I've got 23 years no claims and a clean licence ;)
I'm driving a 3.0 auto elite, 2000. I was only paying just over £200 last year on my old 2.5

I'm afraid in general insurance has rocketed. Both my bike and Omega went up. However the S-max went down.
-
ive just renewed my insurance i was quoted 300 pounds for my 2.2tdi estate with the same company .phone them up and told them ive had lower qoutes .i.e go compare etc anyway after a chat they dropped it to 257 pounds.it pays to speak to someone rarther than automaticlly let it renew its origanal quote.

Insurance really gets confusing been paying around £480 for the past 4yrs due to the post code me thinks, but this year way down been quoted £198 one payment and only £230 monthly. Happy days. :y :y :y
-
£529 for both Omegas (3.0 and 3.2, both LPG'd, one chav'd etc), both myself and Mrs TB as named drivers, business use, 20k per year each, declared modifications.
£109 for the Kwaka :(, but do get £25 back in 3 months if policy still running.
£95 for breakdown (covering both cars and the bike) for both of us, including towing anywhere in the UK. So around £60 per month in vehicle insurances :(

I assumed he meant £200 as one payment, or approx £20pm (=£230 over year) for paying monthly

Axa one payment including courtesy car and windscreen breakdown not needed. All others paying on a monthly came in at about £230 upwards

Do I answer this? ::)
Just under £3000 per year :o :o
But it is a full trade policy, 4 drivers Fully Comp on any vehicle and Employers and Public Liability ::) ::)

Insured my MFL 2.0 16V 1998 CDX Estate for £376 with Admiral for £376 with 9 years no claims and I am 33 years old. I was paying £150(ish) for my workhorse Cinquecento previously, but that was jumping to £230 at renewal, so going from that to the Omega was not that bad IMO. My father now runs the Cinquecento for £180 and he has just turned 70.
All the other cars in my collection have stayed the same though, but as they are all on classic policies, it is expected.
-
From Lazydocker. Just under £3000 per year
Reminds me of the £2,500 wanted to insure my Cosworth RS 500 in 1991..
-
I paid £635 tpf&t to insure my Chevette HS in 1979.That was a hell of a lot of money then.Could have bought a good second hand car for that at the time.
This year the Omega was just under £200 (iirc) with protected no claims with Swinton.Full no claims.3 points on licence.
-
If you have'nt tried Priviledge yet,I would....my 2.0 £198.00 3.0 MV6 £220 3.2 MV6 £225 2006 1.8 Astra £179
All fully comp, and they saved us £600+ on our house insurance against those twisting barstewards Lloyds. Did it through Go compare :y

Just quoted me £364 >:(
-
Just got quoted a couple of mins ago for the latest addition to the fleet. 2001 3.2 Elite £256.52 with Privilage.
That's on the Go Compare site,but I reckon if I speak directly to Privilage I can get 10% off that which I did on the other four cars.I think they are there till eight on a Saturday,will give them a call now and see what happens :-\
-
I just have to ;D at the quotes you guys get......i would bite the arm of anyone offering me insurance at those prices....
Try telling the brokers/insurance comps you want taxi/private hire insurance......and you could almost add a 0 to the end of your quotes ::)
-
Just got a direct quote from Privilege at £158.50 which includes protected NCB/windscreen/hire car etc,christ I was only going to skin them for 1O%...RESULT :o :y they gave me the discount for no other drivers on the policy and a limit of 5000 miles annually which suits me but perhaps it would'nt suit everyone,still cheap though :y

You must have been a naughty boy LD....to be paying that much :o ::)
Its about 1/2 that on average these days......i did manage to get 4 cars on fully comp to £3200/yr a few years ago, but now i dont have them, so dont have the leverage i did on ins comps :(
Back then i had 2 vectras at 800/year. A C class merc on 800/ year . They then wanted £1000 for my Omega.....I told them i wanted the Omega at £800 or loose the lot.....no suprise when they did the Omega at £800 too ::) ;D

Mine was £268 seven months back with Admiral which is good for London. Worth shopping around all the comparison sites (because some are owned by suppliers eg Confused.com is owned by Admiral):

I pay £29 a month to Sheila's Wheels which seems a bit pricey?
I do live in London though so maybe that makes a difference?

Nothing to do with living in London, Kate. You are female and it is unversally recognised that women are crap drivers. Surprised it's that cheap really. ::)

Seriously.....living in London and driving a barge....that seems very reasonable. Some poor sods on here are paying a fortune. :-)

Oops! ;D

You will likely get a cheaper quote from the comparison site ;)

I took out a motor traders policy, which costs £500. But I also have a wee punto which I use in my job delivering Chinese Food 1 night a week. My wifes insurance went from 750 to 1250 for no reason, so I got her added to my policy for an extra £250. As the traders policy covers for 'social, pleasure and domestic', its fair to say I'm feeling quite smug about it all ...!

A word of warning... Traders Policies have limited liability (a figure you set... Mine is £15k) and also only pay out Trade Value for vehicles ;)
-
yeah I dont mind that at the min, a 2001 omega, a 1995 audi, and a 2001 punto arent difficult to replace, but will have to make changes when wifey gets her new vauxhall adam

Thats it then , its officially a girls car ::) ;D

To be consistent these quotes coming from oof members need to be expressed in a more structured way. Excesses can have a huge bearing on premiums and some companies achieve a cheap quote by whacking in a large excess. They know that they can write many cheap cars off and pay peanuts so a largish excess means no claim for some Omegas so you are really getting 3rd party cover only. Something like a £100 voluntary and £250 compulsory basis might give better comparisons. Protected no claims is the other and legal expenses.
-
I got it for £374 in the end. Fully comp, no claims protected, £100 voluntary £150 compulsary excess, legal expenses and courtesy car. Not too bad, but still too much. With M&S insurance.
-
Hmmm, I must be doing summat right then, renewal was 143 something, went on the old comparison websites and got it down to 92 and pennies!!!!1
That is with Saga cos I is an old git! ;D
-
I was paying £410 for the MV6, that was myself and swmbo, breakdown recovery anywhere in uk that covered both the omega and the Saab. I didn't think that was too bad. Imagine the grin on my chops when I was told the same policy with my BMW replacing the Omega was £200 less! ;D ;D
-
I have a 95 2l that runs far better than it looks and still full comp it as 3rd party is almost as expensive :'( £185.
