Flex Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Looking at a run around around 2k, wasnt going to get fully comp, just wondered at what point people think it's worth it. Obv Zed is fully comp. Quote
Lexx Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I've always gone fully comp. Even on Sheds. Just makes life easier if you total it. 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 If your spending £2K odd then surely it makes sense to go fully comp? If it was a £500 run around then I'd say yeah, don't bother but at £2K surely it's cheap enough to insure fully comp and protect. Quote
WhackyWill Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Fully Comp is most of the time either the same price or cheaper that TPFT... No brainer.. .. Edited February 10, 2014 by WhackyWill Quote
KyleR Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 What Will said. In my experience it makes bugger all difference in price going FC. Quote
Ricey Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Less than a grand. At that point I insure 3rd party only with a grand excess. Now that does actually make the insurance a lot lower. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I found for my 2nd car third party f&t was more expensive ?? Not sure if they considered mega higher if I didn't care to insure fully comp ? Obviously I am fully comp I did find a co that gave me 2 yrs Ncb for the first yr as all my Ncb was on the 911 at the time Quote
Ponsonby Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Fully comp is often cheaper than TPFT. Also consider putting wife / girlfriend or a parent on as a named driver. Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Just considered this myself on a £2500 daily, the difference was £40 ish, hardly a deal changer! Quote
Flex Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 No and I just checked its exactly the same and changing the excess has no impact on cars around £2500, shoulda just ran the comparisons before posting. Never mind! Quote
Vik54 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Fully Comp is most of the time either the same price or cheaper that TPFT... No brainer.. .. Yup the days of TPFT being cheaper seem to be long gone - have looked at putting the shed (2004 Astra with 100k on the clock) on TPFT at the last two renewals - always more expensive Quote
davedutch Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I think insurers are wary of tpft cover as anyone taking this option is possibly cutting corners elsewhere as well. My kids have found the cheapest option is to add me as named driver, and when I bought the zed as an extra car my insurers mirrored my ncb so this made it a no brainer. Finally, you dont accumulate no claims bonus so over time even less worthwhile. Quote

Never mind! Changed it significantly for me on a 1ķ shed when I banged it up to a grand. Quote

Never mind! Changed it significantly for me on a 1ķ shed when I banged it up to a grand. I could only go upto £500 excess. Exciting I know! Crazy times. Quote
