smartmove Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Rang up my insurer (Directline) today to let them know that my car will change from a Mondeo 2.2 ST TDCI to 350z 313 on Friday. My premium went up by just £11 for the year! I was really surprised, my "hot" Mondeo must really be steep on the insurance! Quote
Kevo Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I wouldn't say its just the fact your ST was steep, also for a IG 18, the car is fairly cheep to insure. My premium was lower on my Z than the vti, i did ask why this was, and they said that the Z isn't the type of car people thrash around, and tend to take care of it well (lol.... not sure about the first part :teeth:) Obviously got that touch of class!!!

Chesterfield Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Stick a modification on the car like a bodykit and see what Direct Line do. Policy runs out end of December for me and there is more chance of me taking a pee in the Queens handbag than stopping with Direct Line. Quote
martinmac Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 As Chris says, any mod and they will hammer you. Quote
M350ZB Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 martinmac, have you been hammered alot for your modz, as your car is looking !!!!!!!!!! Quote
martinmac Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 All my mods are declared Mark, sorted from a trader on here, my insurance fir the year is less than my road tax Quote
M350ZB Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Is that the knott bloke ?, and thats madness, im not even going to telly ou what i payed, lol !!!!!!!!!, so did all your modz add that much to your insurance ? ? ? Quote
martinmac Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Yes, Chris gave me the best price and the lady on the phone was great, she knew what she was talking about. Quote
M350ZB Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Might have to give them a ring tommorroow, is there any discount code or ? Quote
Andy Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Have to admit as well that I got a very good deal through Sky on here. All mods declared down to my aftermarket seats and all signed off on. Even with the mods, they were cheaper than most other places. If you have mods, it's foolish not to insure/declare them as you are just giving the underwriters an excuse to not pay out in the event of something happening. Quote
martinmac Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Just mention the forum They require 2 years driving similar cars but well worth a call. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Adrian Flux did it for me... No mods listed with Direct Line and no mention of my points, all new mods listed with adrian flux, 3 points declared, free roadside cover, saved £115 a year! Quote

No mods listed with Direct Line and no mention of my points, all new mods listed with adrian flux, 3 points declared, free roadside cover, saved £115 a year! I used to be with them when I had my Fiesta. Got rammed while parked down a single track country road by a 32 ton truck and it took them 3 years to get me my money!! I vowed never to go back!! Quote
Kevo Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Wouldn't suggest luxies myself lads. Live just up the road from them and know a few of the managers there. Not great service, they all say that, plus they've quoted me over double for what ive got my premium for this year, and every year before has been the same, no matter the car! Oh, and took 3 phone calls over a month to get a quote! Quote
CK@Chris Knott Insurance Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Yes, Chris gave me the best price and the lady on the phone was great, she knew what she was talking about. And i've got to say the scheme seems to working really well for members so glad we can help. Please don't forget to ring us at renewal! Quote
