Insurance minefield

[PHJayV8]

Hi gang,

I'm sorry, I know the subject of insurance is oft discussed....

Any recommendations?
Does it really make any difference phoning them rather than accepting their online quote?
I'm not a TVRCC member, does this really make a difference?

I'm 44, and I'm a good boy

Regards

Jay

Dud mine through RH insurance. Very easy to deal with and competitive. Not got my details to hand but I'll post up later.

Ring round every time and haggle on the price there is always a bit of flexibility to be had. I use Heritage Classic but there are lots to play off against each other for the best price. Mine is £145 for 6k miles fixed value of the car, windscreen cover and £150 excess, that is for a registered 500i so shop around fella!

I would recommend RH after their service with my claim, I rang them at 4pm on the day of the fire,(a thursday) I had a phone call from the recovery company at 8am friday, car was picked up on the monday, they made an offer to settle 10 days later, after a bit of negotiation the money hit my bank the following monday. Just over 2 weeks from the fire to the cash hitting my account, and tbh a very fair offer in the first place.
Then when I bought the 350 they changed the insurance over for £30, I had expected to have to take a new policy out.

I've used a number over the last 3 decades an recently used ManningUK - Cost me £100 and a few pence. Very personal service and you can haggle. Give them a call.
Cheers

Glad your sorted well Jay

Was just about to say I moved to RH recently and saved money

Mine just gets cheaper and cheaper every year - one advantage to getting older (and wiser)

Enjoy
