Hannahbtw Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 ......fully comp, including hire car and all the usual "stuff" (protected no claims, etc) £391.60 Bearing in mind I'm 33, a girl, have worked as a professional driver for over 11 years...have 8 years no claims....don't know how "safe" my postcode is (I know these things matter to insurers) and the car is kept on a gated driveway during the time I'm not working, and whilst I'm at work its in the CCTV monitored work-car-park Very chuffed with that quote, as my previous insurers wanted nearly double that! Anyone else had a pleasant surprise when they've come to insure their Zed? Hannah x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work driving up and down the country for National Express Hannah x My uncle does the london scotland run also for national express...

Hannahbtw Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Wonder if I know your uncle...as the Scotland runs generally stop at MK Coachway on their way down to Victoria! Ahhh, yes, the little Zed is no problems after parallel parking all 39 foot of big, wide coach! lmao! Although, having said that...the Zed does have those annoying parking sensor thingys....wonder if there is a way to switch those off....I prefer to rely on sheer skill alone Hannah x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His names John, he has been doing it for a while now. If you know a scottish guy called john its probably him. He's late 50's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Heck that is a great insurance quote. I guess my insurance is high because of the postcode. In fact I need to tell them the NOS has gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I thought I had done well getting mine for £700, then again when you factor in that i have testicles and am 23 I think I did bloody well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahbtw Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 £700 for a 23 year old guy sounds very good!! Wish I'd have had a quote like that when I was 23...I had trouble getting lower than £1000 for a Vauxhall Cavalier back then (ohhh to be 23 again...aside from high insurance quotes of course! lol!)

Freebird Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Dont get me wrong, I was pretty surprised been my cheapest insurance ever A particularly sore spot was the £2800 I paid for my first VX220...was worth every penny though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 That's an excellent quote Hannah. I was pleased with £800 for a modified 350z, and then £700 for my VXR8. Not so pleased with the £1800 for the VXR8 after the accident It'll be 3 years before I can even get a quote of £350 for a 1.0l Micra never mind a Zed!

KyleR Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Heck that is a great insurance quote. I guess my insurance is high because of the postcode. In fact I need to tell them the NOS has gone! Knowing the stupid systems that insurance companies use, they'll probably charge you an extra premium for removing it as another mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samueltastic Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Renewed my car insurance last week after a renewel quote of £900 from elephant I rung around and managed to get it for £573 full comp 5 years protected no claims and this its 3 weeks before my 22nd birthday I was gobsmacked at that price I would have never thought I would have it that low at my age any day.
