You wanna try taxi insurance  

Last week my one of my vectra's was in local garage having engine/sub frame mounts done and guy doing it was chatting to me and asked how much insurance i pay for 4 cars on taxi's......i asked him to have a guess.....he came up with £1k   Have a guess if u like.....but he was wrong  

Yeah..you told me your costs b4 on another insurance post..but really don't think it would be any cheaper in London, especially trying to insure the mods aswell....and i am not a taxi driver, so how would that work?

i did start to do a post about how to get cheaper insurance......but decided against it and deleted it....as prolly not really the done thing.....

You could do a PM

THat time again insurance runs out at 1.00a.m. tonight. Had a quote from performance direct at £570.00, without protection, £612.00 with. Thought that was good, as my current insuraners quote was £739.79. Anyway advised my insurere of the lower quote, low and behold they reduced it too £605.30.

This morning I e-mailed performance direct just to confirm that the quote covered the irmscher modifications etc.,..e-mailed back saying no...it would be considerably higher as the quote is online and insurance is provided by AXA. I e-mailed him back saying why can that be my curremnt insurer has offered at £605, mods insured, free this free that, 1k stereo cover, 250 excess, but no claims protection. Anyway he replies stating my insurer must have a special undewriting deal with AXA to be able to provide the lower quote, which they don't have..OK fine and Thanks.

So I contact my current insurer..Oh yes Mr Bla Bla Raindow sheep ...£739.00..no I replied got a lower reduced quote at 605..Oh yes Mr Bla Bla Rainbow sheep, she replied........Can you provide me with a quote to protect my 10 yrs no claims please, Yes I will call u back later, which she did and.......wait for it........Well Mr Bla Bla Rnbw Sheep to do that you are on unlimited mileage, bla bla bla, so it would be.......£790.00  (   .........Laugh nearly fell oot ma chair.....No thanks I will stay unprotected then, call back later and pay the policy...Bye.

Thats it job done paid in full .....ripped off yet again for another year

Well Mr Ba Ba Rainbow sheep !!!

Glad its sorted  :-/

HOWEVER

My flock of rainbow sheep (out in the back yard) are offended at the term being used, could we perhaps refrain from this and use multi coloured sheep?

Yeah I see what you mean, point taken ...but with this new sex discrimination act and all that, I though Rainbow was more appropriate, as your not allowed to use the word coloured
