Current insurance??

Post by fto12345 »

Hi guys,

I know this has been the most popular topic of all time, but I am wondering which insurance company every is with...
Please answer the following the best you can, I am wanting to change my insurance soon.

1. What company currently with? and how long?
2. How much are you paying?
3. insured under market value? and how much?
4. Do they allow any mods?

Just to start off,

1. Torue have been insured with them since last year.
2. $1630.
3. Insured for $18250 market value.
4. As long as it's not an engine mod it's fine.

Please post any many as you can here so that I can make up my mind and choose which insurance company to change to..

Thank you,

Famous Classic Car Insurance
Less than a year
$800 (I was being charged $1600 by Just Car Ins)
$500 excess for me (over 30) except theft $1000
Already had a not a fault accident which they handled very well, even let me claim for the remake of my personal plates damaged in the accident $50
Insured for $18,000
will allow legal mods
Just a word of warning - shoud you decide to go with them DO NOT lie about your driving record because in case of an accident, whether you were at fault or not, they will ask for an RTA printout of your driving history....

These prices don't mean very much by themselves. People should include Rating/NCB 8O

97 FTO GPX
Just Car Insurance for 2.5 years
$1350 premium on Rating 1
Insured for $20500 (underinsured IMO, but they won't budge)
Allow all legal mods

I'm 26. That $6000 premium is ludicrous even for a rating 3. Have you had any at-fault claims?

Yo brendan that quote DOES sound crazy!!8O

Im with Just car now and have been ever since i bough my car- Just over a year ago.

96 GPX
$1330 on Rating 2 Full comp.
Oh and Im 22.

When i joined last year i paid - $1900 on rating 3.
Im pretty happy with my price drop over that year. :)

Maybe Sounds like your Mods are the thing that is resulting in that crazy $6000?? Unfair!! It still seems like 2 much! It may be worth calling again!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
sorry cant get over the $6K insurance.
That is absolute crap, you should call them up again and ask for another quote.

I just got my insurance renewal today from Just Cars and I gotta fork out $1410 on a rating 2 and im 24 with no claim history or accidents. This insurance also doesn cover any mods which ive done to the car so i feel a bit ripped off actually. :x
I think im gonna call Unique cars insurance and see if they can do me a better deal.
