Just been looking for insurance and amused by some of the high prices, but Hastings direct managed to top the chart with a whooping £94509.45p or £106162.47 if I pay monthly.

Good grief! How come? Do you have a string of death by dangerous driving convictions or something? Or more likely Noisy driving convictions hehe

Does that really say "one hundred and six thousand pounds"?

Its not that good!, I pay £358 for me and the misses on my Tuscan. Im only 27.

Surely it must be a miss quote, they dont normally bang the prices up so you dont take it they just refuse to quote if its not to thir liking.

Wild quote aside the rate you pay will be largely determined by where you live, where you keep the car and what you do with it. £358 does look good for 27yr old though.

Check www.stuartcollins.com - they also give a 12 month green card, if you want to take the car out of the UK for more than the 3 months everybody else gives you..

I'm 33, full no claims, pay 950 protected, with 500 excess. And with a central london address..

Have for many years found A plan to be very competitive, ignore their first quote and tell them what they need to achieve and they frequently get there or there abouts. Adrian Flux seem to be trying quite hard as well .Sagaris on unlimited mileage protected no claims for me and the missus (both in our 40s)is around £400.
tends to help if you can show you have other vehicles to use ie works van / wifes car as i think they assume you will use the nice motor less of the time.

Mines £390 with Haggerty with the Mrs on the policy and limited to 3K miles (£30K to add an additional 10K miles) Im 38. Oh and that's after I wrote off my last Tuscan which was insured with them! It also provides Europe breakdown cover which is handy for Le Mans

Bit concerned by Noisy's comment about them only covering pre-1990's vehicles now.

Well Haggerty would only quote me on 3000 miles, but just rang to take it out (insurance due today and I'm away in the car, they said sorry not covering anything post 1980 now, can't have any cover at all
seems no one over there really knows what's going on. Shame I had 3 cars on cover with them, looks like Classicline will be taking over from them now. £548 for 3000 miles, which can be extended.

Im with Classicline through Aplan, Hagerty quoted £360 then changed there mind when i went to take it out and would not insure me.

Im 27, no points in last 5 years, 1 nonfault accident, living in Lincoln, car in garage over night. On confused i think the cheapest was 550. Manning were very good too but decided to stay put as they were same price but slightly lower excess with CL.

You're quite right Noisy, I'm a W4 postcode with car in the street- paid just over £700 (Flux) so your latest quote appears to be in the ballpark.

Have aphone round and get some quotes then play the ones you like best off against each other, like most businesses they want your custom. have found that A Plan have needed a bit of encouragement on pricing they like to send you a renewal that has gone up quite a bit but then they manage to come down in the end. Have reached the stage where I treat renewal time as a game now, I do tend to ignore some of the lowest quotes like to be insured by a company where they have a good reputation for dealing with any claims.
Best of luck in your search.

I'm in NW London but can't park the outside my house, so it lives in a secure underground car park, hence the low price. But I wish it lived closer to me! frown
