Who is your BMW insured with?

[dave87]

Insurance renewal time again, had a not so surprising renewal price from my current insurer (£10ish less than last year) so on the hunt around. Admiral currently coming out best 30% lower than my renewal, which is nice.

Just wondering if there is anyone else I should try?

I'm with LV. Been the best for me over the last two years.

[Mr Ben]

Been with Flux for last 3 years.

Generally comparable to comparison sites, then a phone call usually results in them matching/slightly beating the best price.

[sparks_E39]

E39 528, Admiral were cheapest.

[roofer]

LV.

[dave87]

Thanks for the replies,


I've tried:

LV - too young apparently
Tesco - £4k....yeah, right.
Adrian Flux - just over £1k, was informed she'd checked with her supervisor and they couldn't do any better
Footman James, was admittedly after their opening hours but someone picked up the phone and put it back down again. Not a great first impression...


Elephant - website threw an error, though they are usually within a few quid of Admiral
Chris Knott - wouldn't insure me last year when I bought the car (was with them then), so doubt they will this year


Any others people can think of?

E90 330d with BMW insurance & is expensive & the X5 4.8is with esure which was about the cheapest i could get.

Took out multi car with BMW Insurance following end of 7 day free policy with the 1M.

Cheapest by far for me oddly enough as it appears they are expensive for everyone else! They beat Admiral too though I was already with them.

not sure what model you have but when chris knott wanted to up my premium from £420 (2007/520d) to £975 (2004/645ci) i panicked initially , ,then contacted classicline who placed the car on a "future classic" policy , £493 FComp/2 drivers both aged 43

My old E36 is with A-Plan, and has been for the last 4 or 5 years. They are always willing to negotiate when it's renewal time and they don't load for my NON-FAULT claim, unlike Admiral which comes out cheapest until the non-fault is mentioned then it's higher than A-Plan.

E92 330i around £400 with esure.

[Nigel Worc's]

RSA via IAM surety.

It's no good quoting what I pay, because we all have different postcodes, jobs, ages, experience etc etc etc etc

[richtea78]

The reason Admiral and Elephant are similar prices might be something to do with them being the same company. Bell is also.

Im with Admiral, when I got my renewal through it was down in price but not by enough, did the comparison and Elephant came out cheaper, rang Admiral and told them and the woman checked the other computer system and matched it accross.

[forsure]

Aviva were best for my e39 this time.

Excellent website and admin; all done on-line.

Last year Admiral were the best for me, this year Adrian Flux.
330ci msport with no mods.

I might give Flux another look come renewal.

Churchill are giving me a quote of ~£620 though, will be hard to top. Elephant were over £800 so I'll just have to see what Admiral can produce come renewal time.

Currently around £960 so I'll take £620!
