I paid 150 last year for my S3 insurance. 3000 miles no vehicle recovery. Just got renewal notice at 195. I'm 56 years young car garaged live in West Yorks, licence clean as a whistle. What you other guys paying ?

This question has come up many times before and very often two guys with, what look like very similar circumstances, are paying very different premiums.


Who you with?

Try RH Classic

I could also recommend trying Peter James Insurance (you may have seen adverts in the classic car press with Stirling Moss involved). They seem to understand the classic car scene very well. I have found them particularly sensible when I wanted to add a second driver, and short term insurance cover for my son to use it.

They do tend to "reward" loyal customers by increasing prices each year. If you can be bothered it is worth checking the market. Flux, manning, Lancaster, etc

I've got a V8-S and have just renewed with Footman James This week. 2000 miles per year, garaged at home, no claims or convictions etc, living in North Hertfordshire. The renewal was an extremely satisfying £80. (Big smiley face).

Blimey £80 is not bad!

I went with Footman James with the Chim and it was just over £200 with a load of other probably pointless extras and 5000 miles, I thought it was pretty good though regardless.

I managed to get a CU80 in Nov 11 and I wasn't using the phone just faffing about trying to put it in the holder...still next time I renew its gone. No idea what it adds to the premium though.
