Insurance HELP!!!

[LilCat]

Help!!!

Insurance expires beginning of October.

People are either extremely expensive or do not want to cover me at all!!!!
Why?? (Is it because I am a woman?)

So far I have tried:

Adrian Flux - £750
Keith Michaels - Would not supply a quote
Swift - too young
esure - too young
Churchill - too young
admiral - £843

a whole load more... basically around the £750 to £1100 mark!!! its only an Alfa maybe thats why hmmm

Elephant on their renewal quote is £600 (Will call and badger them down)

Are there other insurance people to get a quote from?

Anywhere else I can try?

[Lakelord]

Ouch they're expensive

Have you tried upping the excess you are willing to pay? A bit of a gamble but if you've got a good driving record, it may save you a few quid.

[TheArchitect]

Chris Knott and use a car club discount thingy by mentioning briskoda or someone.

check out female specialist insurers aswell as 2 of the girls in the office seem to have got very good quotes recently from them. diamond i think.

[LilCat]

Excess is in at £350

Oh I rememeber my fiesta quote..... £230 and I thought that was expensive!!!!!

[Robatr0n]

Have you rung Elephant? They charged you £200 for 6 months of cover so I'd ignore the premium they posted through the door and ring them. I always get quoted about £200 - £300 more than than previous year when it comes to renewal so I ring them up and reduce my premium further.

[Robatr0n]

Oh and try Greenlight.

Sheilas do not even want to go near me!

But will try Chris Knott and Diamond.

I'm with Chriss Knott too. Was the best for me, but I had to consider the mods to my car too which I don't think you will have to?

[Sods Law]

Chris Knott have been good today for Clio 172 from the BMW, theyve even transfered the policy over ????

[Revs_Addiction]

A-Plan and Sky have been cheap in the past for me Cat...

[Alex]

Have you tried Privilege and More Than? Both usually give good quotes for me.

[nonuts]

Yep, as the others have said, try A-Plan and Greenlight as well.

Performance cars cost money, did nobody tell you that?

[tuscan_al]

whoever you go with, try seeing if they are on www.quidco.com, its a cash back website and for insurance you normally see £50 commission back to yourself, and its only what all these compare the whatever make their money from.

Goes for breakdown too.

Just saw your post,have you tried Hagerty International? Got fully comp insurance for £273,i have a chim, there number is 08700420220 , good luck ! baconboy.

[LilCat]

Thanks guys!!!

I have 2 weeks to find a good deal.

Got lots of places to call now.

Now why wouldn't insurance people want to quote me? 26, full clean license, 7 years no claims, a woman

[john_r]

I know it sounds daft, but try one of the comparison sites? At least you'll get a list of companies that will insure you, and you can then phone them direct to get a better price...

[Don]

Have you tried the price comparison places?

Confused.com
CompareTheMarket.com - "Simples" etc

I'm paying less than £300 for my Porsche!

What the other Don says ^^^

I got £200 knocked off my family bus insurance & included a third driver to the policy with no experience - A-Plan (who it was with) couldn't get near the price.

In the end (through the comparison sites) I went with Admiral.

what's going on?, I never paid that much when I was your age

Do you have someone else as named driver on the policy? even if they don't drive the car- it will help

Have you tried Confused yet, it's a good start and will give you an idea- I think even Tescos Value quote

Also try Norwich Union/Aviva they have been cheap for me in the past.



ETA, sorry Don & john, I missed your post about confused
