ZedJohn Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Just had my renewal through from Direct Line - £1041.60 Tried Admiral's MultiCar with the Zed and my Vitara. How can Direct Line try and charge that much when Admiral charge less for TWO cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 same happened to me last year..... so will see if they manage to do the same come renewal time or if it was just a ploy to get the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 same happened to me last year..... so will see if they manage to do the same come renewal time or if it was just a ploy to get the business They will try and put it up, but if you take a quote as a new customer & tell them what it is they usually match it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 You could try Chris Knott too. They are forum sponsors and lots of people are happy with the service and price. All drivers have to be over 25 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 because lots of people are to stupid to check else where and just renew with out asking questions. i'm with admiral, and have been for 3 years, but every year my renewal is always higher than previous. with a bit of ringing around and getting quotes. have gone back and ended up back with them and saving another £200 on the previous year. its all a game. why they play it is a pain. keeping customer loyalty is not a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Good to see them beating it, but why is the Suzuki so expensive? We got my Zed and the missus Ibiza for £800 all in this year after much haggling with Admiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZedJohn Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 but why is the Suzuki so expensive? Always has been - no matter who it's insured with, it's a 2 litre 4 pot, bullet proof but not fast or nickable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got my Zed and the missus Ibiza for £800 all in this year after much haggling with Admiral I'll bet it is because it has less no claims. You can't mirror no claims with admiral. My gaylander costs more to insure than the Zed! On another note I just renewed my motorbike insurance which took a healthy drop again this year. I got prices on line and my renewal quote (through the post) was BETTER than the quotes I got as a new customer. ebike insurance know about loyalty!

rog518 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've been with admiral for a few years now with my 106 quiksilver and as mentioned unless you prompt them they just go a bit higher each year! Just had a qoute for a 350gt,fully comp and protected at £355 result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We do have two insurance companies on the forum.....I'd be interested though to see how many of us are actually insured by them. Last year Knott's wouldn't even quote me (car kept on road and no previous performance experience) and Sky came in at £1600 !! I mean...come on a 36yr old female community worker is hardly high risk now is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just had my renewal through from Direct Line - £1041.60 Tried Admiral's MultiCar with the Zed and my Vitara. How can Direct Line try and charge that much when Admiral charge less for TWO cars? I don't know about Direct Line, but I've just renewed my 2009 Roadster for £244.46 with AXA, the KA cost £130, with AA. £500 excess both.

Chris Knott do keep their prices low by making restrictions such as area, age and driving expereience, but then when you meet the restrictions, they can do some good deals. Not good enough for me this year though, Admiral were still cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 i got a quote with Adrian flux for me (26) and my Mrs (23). £2500 chris nott were just as bad. admiral were 700. fully comp, break down, and 150 XS for me and 250 XS for my mrs. with full NCB protection. not a bad price i thought, but might have to try this multicar. how does that work exactly? if i have a bump does my mrs lose the NCB or visa versa?

shire350Z Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Problem is with admiral they dont normally cover any mods and when they do they charge alot! Your better off with a specialist, sky were good with me they gave me a good quote but Aplan were the best! Couldnt help me enough and explained everything very well! With the car fully insured with every single mod! Chris knott annoyed me slightly as they kept wanting me to find the best quotes I could then send them in writing so they could match it, whereas Aplan just undercut chris knotts by a good deal and were happy to answer every question I had instead off the blunt replies I received off chris knott so def try aplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Direct Line try and charge that much when Admiral charge less for TWO cars? Hi John. I had a similar problem with BMW Insurance. I own a Mini JCW GP and now also a Z. BMW quoted in excess of £1000, not for both cars but as an add on for the Z. I am already paying £ 550 for the Mini. I went with the Admiral multi car policy and paid approx £ 950 for the 2 cars. Where abouts in Staffs are you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
