It's coming up to that time of year again for my insurance renewal. Being 24 and a hugely irresponsible driver I am limited to my choices for companies. Aside from Tescos and elephant can anybody else suggest anyone woh may cover me. My insurance company will not give me a new quote or a renewal quote for 2 more weeks, and the people I spoke to on the phone are all numpties. When I asked to be put through to quotes I was answered with:

"I'm sorry I don't know who quote is."

Reminds me why I never want to work in a call centre.

Anyhow I'd like to switch so can anyone else help me?

Cheers

Chris

Have you tried Norwich Union? They tend to offer fairly cheap insurance especially for younger drivers

With the mods I'd be surprised if any of the main- stream companies will do it. Try Footman James.

Might be worth trying insuresupermarket.com as an alternative to confused.com

Cheers everyone!



My current insurer won't give me a renewal quote until the 4th of August. I'm hoping for around the same but with protected NCB.

Anybody know the deal regarding NCB if I take the car off the road for a while? Maybe over winter??

CH cheers mate they quoted me £2867 which is a bit on the high side. Excellent car mate!!

Normally it's valid for two years while not actually being used. Of course this may vary from insurer to insurer.

1. Thank you i guess?
2. I bought the car through inheritance
3. As for the site in my profile, it's mine & you obviously know what 'spanc' means


Initially sounds dodgy but I presume spanc refers to some sort of wargames site? Vaguely remember a mate whos into this sort of thing mention it.

Where abouts in EA are you by the way? Do you ever get along to either the Cambs or Fling Fortress meets?

Im in Norwich (towards wroxham) & no i havn't been to any meets yet.


Oopps!! Got confused with this that my old flatmate used to be on all the time [url]www.spanc.org/[/url], very boring TBH.
Your site sounds a heck of a lot more interesting but erm is just a pink screen on my PC with a logo and pair of lips. Sounds like I'm missing something from the drooling of SXS etc.

Looks like the Griff is off the road from August the 25th onwards as I can't find a sensible insurance quote. It looks like I will be mini powered until May next year.

You want to insure it even off the road in case it spontaneously combusts, gets nicked or a tree falls on it. Footman James do laid up cover (no I don't work for them!)

Aside from fire it shouldn't get nicked. The thiefs would have to move around 4 cars that have no batteries and don't run first. Besides there's someone in all day.

It's a crazy business - Admiral own Elephant.co.uk and yet they offer different quotes.
