New member to the fraternity - any insurance tips?

[IanLWarrington]

Hi all - I just heard that the ranks are about to be swelled with a new Monaro owner in this area - and I've been asked for any tips re good insurance deals.

I myself am with Admiral - (went down by about 30% this year!) ... but I'm not sure who is offering the best deals. Anyone renewed recently.

Obviously, a lot will depend on the personal circumstances - any help gladly received though I'm sure,

Kind regards

Ian

The Admiral group were very good on price for our old (standard) car, but would not cover modifications. We're with A Plan for the truck.

With Admiral myself, fully comp (Limited mileage), with mods declared, something like £270 all in.

One important consideration is whether they require a tracker, if they do and your car doesn't have it, its quite an expense to get one fitted, plus the yearly subscription, often better off finding an insurer that doesn't insist on it, even if they're marginally more expensive (unless you want a tracker of course).

Go to a plan and Adrian flux and get them to fight for it, it's not only quite funny but can save you money too!!

Really depends on what mods are fitted. Admiral wouldn't touch mine even though I had 3 other cars with them at the time. Been with Sky for years and often play Flux off against Sky come renewal and Sky have always come out better.

When I was looking the Manchester postcode is obvious an issue when it come to insurance.

For me need to insure were the cheapest, but due to my accident and limited time with the car gave me a reduced mileage. Wouldn't give me more than 6,000 a year (but were £620 ish if I remember correctly). So I went with Sky who were just over £1000, keep in mind I am a uni student which doesn't help with prices. All my mods were declared.

Planning to try and get a quote of need to insure again this year. Renewal is in November. See if I can get it cheaper. Oddly though the Monaro was cheaper to insure than my old yellow Citroen C4.

Brentacre are also worth looking at, they were reasonable before my accident.

Think we need to sort out another Northern meet at some point again too.

I put mine on my Admiral multi-car policy, with a few mods to declare and no tracker. I think it was around £300k (incl £70 for exhaust & APs) for business use and the Mrs.
