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.

Well I'm pleased I've got a good deal then.

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

Some women are crap drivers I know. Did you read my thread about me hitting the motorcyclist?

Oops!

[TheBoy]

Who was that quote from Steve?

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

Just quoted me £364

Got the quote from compare the flearats.com

Nope, Axa`s own site

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

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.

[BlueBridge]

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!

[cam2502]

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! 

[ronnyd]

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.
