Good insurance quotes for a Eunos import?

[NiceCupOfTea]

Currently with A-Plan who have given me a reasonable quote. Confused.com / CompareTheMeerkat.com haven't got within a country mile though - anywhere recommended for an import?

Unfortunately I can't go "classic" policy because it's not garaged and used for work.

Adrian Flux

I was with Privilege - and I had to renew last week .... £237.

Absolutely no-one came close to my renewal - which I was suprised about. Then, I got a nod towards Adrian Flux.

So gave them a call .... and got it down to £200.

That's fully comp, for business use, unlimited mileage, mrs as named driver, drive any other car, 30 days cover in europe, parked on drive way, etc, etc, etc, blah blah blah.

No brainer

Also - as an aside - they were only the 2nd insurance company ever, that I've spoken to - who actually had in interest in the car - and actually knew their stuff about it. And I got a discount for being a member of PH So do mention it.

For reference - the other company was Sunninghill - who used to insure my TiV - they knew more about my car than I did

[NiceCupOfTea]

Thanks, will give them a go. Keen to stay with A-Plan as my other car is with them and it makes it simpler, so if they can do a good quote will approach A-Plan and see if they can match... If not, time for a change, maybe

I had my 2 '5's insured with A-Plan the year before last - but they were way off the mark this time

Even Norwich Unions multi-car policy was VERY competitive this time round - but what swung it for me was all the extras with Adrian Flux.

I have my 'everyday' car and my MX-5 insured with Churchill, they insured the mx-5 on a second car scheme. They might be worth a stab as they have been reasonable with me......

I'm pretty sure my 94 eunos is around £150 fully comp at Richardson Hosken Classic policies. THey are the cheapest I found by a long shot.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Just gave Adrian Flux a call and they quoted 750 quid and told me to jump at A-Plan's £390

It's parked on the road, and business use which I think affects it. And it's "modified" although that is basically an air filter, a different steering wheel, and different wheels...

I believe there's a company called Aon (or Aeon???) who are recommended by the MX5 Owners Club - I've not tried them myself yet (I'm with Adrian Flux at the moment) but I plan to try them at renewal time.

Joining the owners club might reduce your premium also.

Are you sure about this? Adrian Flux have mine on a classic policy not garaged and with commuting to work added - do you actually use your car for more than just commuting?

Edit : just seen you said "business use" so I assume more than just driving to work and back.

I'm with A plan - also on about 390 quid - again parked on the road, and used as main car.

Similar price - although they did tell me i could add any modifications to the car and it wouldn't change the price as long as it wasn't a turbo / supercharger or nitrous.

[anonymous-user]

Adrian Flux are pretty good about mods - I've got an aftermarket exhaust and rollbar on mine and it made no difference to the cost.

Have you tried Footman James? I've got my UK '5 on a classic policy with them, and it's not garaged (parked on drive) and covered for occasional commuting, and was just over £200 for a 5000 mile policy with 15% OC discount...

Nearest A-plan could get for me (despite trying hard to get it lower!) was £350...

Used to be with FJ but they weren't that competetive the last time I rang them... Will try them again in the future.

Adrian Flux were the cheapest for me by a country mile. Or £100, whichever you prefer. £490 compared to £590 elsewhere. Brilliant fully comp policy too; it includes 90 days in Europe, UK & European breakdown cover including homestart and relay, unlimited miles, no extra on-car security necessary, parked on the road at night. Actually, it's on the drive at night now so I should think about asking for a discount when I ring up to get the reg. number changed to my private one. Adrian Flux, anyway!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in replying to you.

If you could email me your details I can look into your quote for you and maybe explain why the quote was not as competitive as your A-Plan quote.

Dan.

I've just got insurance through a comparison site with a company called Done Deal, underwritten by Fortis Insurance. They were miles cheaper than anyone else for my Mk1 fully comp, protected no claims, £169.00

[Kinky]

Blimey - is that a limited mileage or classic car policy?

[MX-5 Lazza]

Having had a few claims in the past I'd never just go for the cheapest quote. If I've never heard of them (or more importantly, the company that underwrite them) then I steer well clear.

[Chris71]

Erm, slightly off topic, but do any of these guys offer track insurance either included or as a cost addition?

Inquired with my current insurer about a Eunos track car yesterday and they basically said anything with a cage was out. So if I do make the switch I might have to look for a different broker. The thing that would annoy me about that is the current firm are very cheap and bizzarely (despite the objection to track mods) offer cheap additional track cover.

[MX-5 Lazza]

The club insurance with AON does. It's a bit limited though - something like £1500 excess or 10% value of the vehicle whichever is greater so might not really be of much if any use but for me it's better than nothing (which is what I'd have if it wasn't free).
