Golf 7 Insurance - anyone worth trying?

[bitchstewie]

I have a Golf 7, nothing special just a TDi but my insurance renewal is due at the end of the month.

Quotes are coming in around £300-350 fully comp protected etc.

I've only really tried the comparison sites and have yet to call VW's own insurance scheme.

Given it's a run of the mill Golf is there any point trying "specialist" insurers (Herts Insurance were mentioned) or am I likely to be wasting my time?

And of course if not, who should I be trying?

In a word, no.

I'm not sure if the Golf 7 Tdi has the front brake assist but the R does and it brings the insurance down, a lot!

I went with Aviva, got £75 cashback so only ended up paying £300. Which I was amazed with quite frankly!

I think what VW call "brake assist" isn't what you mean - but yes it has the radar assisted thing.

None of the comparison sites ask that but they all pick up the model from the reg number so I assume they know this.

Kind of confirms what I expected - I know it's a boggo Golf just hoped there may be some options as it still feels quite pricey as insurance goes.
