Insurance Quote Seems High...

Post by **CitroJim** » 25 May 2005, 22:47

Firebond have just quoted £112 for TPF&T for renewal on my totally standard Pug 205 1.6 GTi.
This for a 3000 mile limit. [:0]
Im 46 soon, full NCD on my Cit which is £190 fully comp with a full clean licence held since 1977.
Just one SP30 in 1987 (on a motorbike) and only two claims in my life (neither my fault).
Any thoughts on where this old crock might do a better deal. Seems a tad expensive to me for whats on offer...

Expensive!!? hah, there was me thinking my £400 was cheap being 28 on my supra but £112. I think you will struggle to get much less as theres just nothing in it for them and it is group 14 I think? I did a few quotes online myself the other day as my reneweal is up soon and Endsliegh was cheapest so perhaps try their online quote form to get a rough idea.

Esure are nice and cheap. Carole Nash is supposed to be good too.

sheesh i dont even pay that citroenzx! and im 19! mind you your's seems to be the version or too up from mine (good old reflex i

) i used to pay about 90£ a month for me old polo.
citrojim, all i can say is shop around, try every company you can think of and even ask the audience for others you cant think of, although a different end of the scale to in insurance bracket, when ever i get a quote from companies which are ment to be "nice" to young people, the price is often at least 1000£ more than what i pay now, for the same level of cover, its amazing what some companies ask for!

I wish my insurance was as high as £112.
In the past I could add an extra 0 on to the end of that, but these days things aren't quite so bad (but they aren't so good either).

as high as 112? heh :p. Had my renewal quote for the Supra yesterday. My policy is only a 10 month one with Admiral for some reason, must change that but for 10 months its £327 TPFT

Until I recently sold it, Swintons were only charging me £119 fully comp on an everyday fully comp policy (no mileage limit) on my '71 Rover P6B V8 so Firebond are having a larf mate.

Thanks all! I posted a similar query on another forum, where the average age of the drivers is around the early twenties mark and was told quite clearly to wind my neck in and be happy with it. Most were paying my quoted premium per month and pointed out that mine works out at around a tenner a month. Put like that it seems not so bad...
