Insurance for the 'M' Time again....
Just shopped around after getting the usual ridiculous renewal quote from Hastings Direct (£530) - Went with SAGA in the end (does that now make me officially old ? ) for £290
Fully comp - Zero compulsory - £150 excess - 9 years NCB Protected
Thought that was not a bad deal to be fair

£384 for mine, once I put it onto a multi-car policy with Admiral.
Most of the reduction over what I was paying last year (£800) is because I've reduced my mileage from 25k a year to 5k a year - although that is with my £14k insurance claim listed, albeit with 15 years protected NCB.
The Alfa (with only 1 year's NCB) is £614.

As I'm into the 50+ club maybe I'll give Saga a call come renewal time. Admiral were bloody hopeless when I tried them last time. More than twice the price of direct line who have (so far) proved unbeatable.

That seems a good price. My renewal from flux is around 550 , I will be 30 in time for the renewal in a couple of weeks and 10 years NCB (insured on a drive in Bath! ). I doubt I will get it much cheaper, if at all.

Mine was 440 last year, 100 less than my wife's Skoda Octavia. I really have no idea how they come up with the numbers at renewal time, but it is a massive pain getting the quotes sorted everyone!

Indeed. Surely that's the best ever proof that someone buys a car to be seen in rather than to drive it I imagine the full acceleration on most cars would probably void those policies lol.tomscott wrote: Don't know about some of you guys but they wanted me to put a box in the car... measure my driving...

Definitely, but I thought they were for new drivers! I was a bit shocked at 28 I was offered one! Quite offended! The price wasn't a huge amount cheaper either £10 or so...jimmybell wrote:Indeed.

I did that with the Alfa, as it was the easiest way to get cheap insurance during my 'unresolved' insurance claim on the Zed.tomscott wrote:Don't know about some of you guys but they wanted me to put a box in the car... measure my driving... In a sportscar... They can sod off!
There was no extra premium if you drove like a nutter, but you'd get a refund if you were very careful.
Drove it like a granny for a couple of weeks and the feedback was not particularly favourable - saying that I should try to take corners slower, and leave more room for braking, etc.
Went on holiday for the next couple of weeks, and got identical feedback despite the car not moving an inch
I'm sure these devices will be fine for a car that's only for the occasional trip, but mine was doing 500 miles of motorways & traffic jams a week. Not sure the 2016 National did the 'average' much good though
Didn't go with the renewal when it came through

Mine was going to be £157 this time with Admiral, then somehow had people crash into my stationary car twice in a month, having two non-faults has doubled it So £315 for me, 33 living in North Leeds.
