Title: Omega Insurance
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 08 February 2007, 20:53:51
Where have you guys found the best place to get insurance for your cars?

Normal insurance companies, or is there a Vauxhall Insurance?

Thanks

To be honest I don't think its that expensive for the car, oh MV6 :y, I just wanted to see if you guys (the people in the know) thought it was expensive.
Me and Mrs Loo-knee ;D pay £200 ish for both of us Fully Comp with breakdown cover for Her Rangey.... I know its a far older car and not as fast (but better in the snow apparently ;D).. ;D

i always found direct line very cheap, best quotes around for me.

confused.com is sh!t, really is. Takes 10 years to enter all the data they want and comes back with stupid quotes which are as reliable as a plumbers estimate!

First year I had the MV6, Direct Line wanted over £600. I politely suggested what they could do with that quote....

I found Tesco to be cheapest (around £320 FC) until I made a claim (not my fault but still pending) & my premium shot up. With Equity Red Star now (through a specialist broker). They took me on at the same premium even with a claim pending & 3pts & will refund the difference if I win.

I think the younger you are the more they shaft you!!!   My old man's just about fosilised and he pay's the same as me. Difference is I only insure the omega and he insures 3 cars for the same amount!!!  Granted 2 of them are yank tanks and the others a renault, but hey..... No body's perfect!!!

So by the time you can afford to insure your motor without putting yourself into poverty, You'll either be too old and knackered to enjoy it or dead.    Though I'd share my sinical point of view  :D

Do I sound like an old nag???  :-/ :-/

True, but sad fact remains that you have less expensive accidents as you get more and more experience...

Post by: ste on 08 February 2007, 22:03:19
In theory!!!  Old man ran his last laguna straight into the back of someone... Total rightoff!!!

Quite amusing now after the old, no substitue for experience son, speach about driving!!    Like some more ketchup for that humble pie dad??   ;D ;D

It just frustrates me when you see these 80 year old snail drivers on the road who can't see past the bonnet, near miss everything in sight and cause 20 mile tailbacks because the marbles have gone and they can't remeber which pedal is the accelerator!!!  And oh, guess what... you spend more on a sandwich than they do for a years insurance.  >:( >:(

I'm 36 , 8 years NCB and paid £330 FC with Norwich Union on my 2.5 cdx.  When i was changing the car, i ran a few quotes through confused.com, and having a 3.0 was only a few quid more expensive.

Just don't get the Irish lads on this thread - their insurance is in 4 figures always  :(

I wish i could get mine below 4 figures  :'(

I paid last year £1400 FC for the omega..... they did want £1800 initially but dropped it to £1400 when i suggested i would take all 4 cars somewhere else. Apparently the guy doing the quote changed the group on the computer to a vectra and it came up with £1400.

£1400 for the VectraB FC
£1400 for the VectraC FC
£1500 for the Merc FC

Insurance comps dont like taxi drivers  :'(

However i do get good service i think....another insurance comp is taking mine to court at the moment for running up a over £7k hire charge on another car that was rented for me while the merc was off the the road due to a non fault accident.
