LV came out cheapest like for like on the policy for me aswell.
Currently with Morethan and they have racked up my premium to £376. So unless they can better £324 then it's goodbye.
Incidently I tried one of those companies that specialise insuring over 50's (I'm 57 next month)
They are taking the piss they quoted £776.
I've got bags of NCB, no convictions, no penalties clean as a whistle.......work that one out.

BTW it's on a Vx Signum, not the Omega.

Post by: Grrrrrr on 13 May 2011, 21:00:47: Blimey. And I almost had a heart attack when mine came in at £500.

Post by: Psychoca on 13 May 2011, 21:15:41: If you use a trailer or caravan, check that you are covered.. I found a couple who wouldn't insure the car if it was going to pull a trailer...

Seems a lot to me, an old Omega and a Panda :o :o :-/ ::) business use, in my experience does not increase the premium, unless you add it on because you forgot.... ::) ::) ::)
Title: Re: HOW ******** MUCH !
Post by: o-meg-a on 13 May 2011, 23:21:02: I'm paying £550 tpft on the omega alone.

I'm 22, with 3yrs no claims and had my license for 5 and a half years

£186 fully comp for me as SWMBO is over 40 but never drives it!
I'm 40 next year :-[ but got 22 years no claims and no points :)
Without swmbo it was more than double the quote,how does that work as she will never drive it? :-?

Post by: TheBoy on 15 May 2011, 21:27:03: Insurance companys like opposite sex partners on the policy, thus it tends to bring down the premium :y

I'm a bit younger than you though Vamps :-X ::) ;D

And it was considerably cheaper than anywhere else and includes the admin fee for changing the vehicle and temporary cover on the one that's up for sale ;)
