£159 buys......
« on: 28 May 2016, 12:56:12 »

.....car insurance for another year.

A little steep for a 'humble' family saloon. They (Saga) wouldn't budge on price but did throw in legal cover for the year, supposedly worth £28.

Reasonably pleased.

Some advantages to being an old git then?

Cheap insurance . ;D

The only other one I can think of is you are good at quizzes.

Is there something in the small print that the price is dependant upon never driving the car or something ?

That is VERY cheap  ;)

Give them a bell, Mr Gonads.

£260 P/A is quite reasonable for Hull, where most things are on fire. ::) ::) ;)

Not far off what I pay, with business use and no mileage limits. I'm way more than 50  ???

My renewal came in at £256 this year.  ::)  So I've done the cashback and comparison thing this afternoon and then phoned my current insurers and invited them to beat the cheapest quote, which they did by £5!  :) 

End result?  ???  £224.49 and it's a better policy than the cheapest I found elsewhere!  ;)  :y

Now I've got to do the house insurance which has gone up considerably!  ::)  Bastids!  >:(

Mine is under £200, for 20k miles (I think) and business.  Do they pay me when I hit 50?

I reckon mine should be sub £200 down here in sleepy Darzet, but I guess the 3 points on my licence and a windscreen claim have bumped it up.  ::)
