Exige - insurance

[kiethton]

Afternoon, a few pointers if possible.

Collect a new (to me) S2 N/A exige next weekend, after selling my current car my current insurer (large mammal) want far too much for the remaining 10 months of the policy despite coming in reasonably priced on confused.com.

Needing to try and sort this out does anybody have any recommendations for other insurers?

Limited mileage not a problem, have 4 years NCB and am a named driver in another car (also have my own motorbike for commuting duties). History not the best though (2 non-fault claims & 6 points). Track days not necessarily needed but DOC would be good to have.

Any recommendations?

I swap between flux and one answer, both have given me lower prices than the 'usual' ones over the years.

Thanks for that, did have a policy with flux a little while ago, will give them and others a go come Monday morning.

Worst case I guess I can just sign up with the mammal or navy man on a new policy and cancel the old?

Thanks for that, too young unfortunately (they only do 30+, I'm 27)

Ended up with Flux, used them before but they came in at a similar price to the insurance on my E39 540i but thankfully now list the car as garaged (currently had to keep on road as cheaper), have the larini exhaust listed and also added driving other cars fully comp (<£20k value) for about £20 - happy days!

They didn't when I was insured with them - has this changed recently?

I was just told I had to be 30+ for any Lotus, may be make/model specific?

Eh? They've insured me a couple of times when I was 27-29.

Thanks for the help all, strange about the above but way it goes I guess.

Ended up with Flux at a price not too much more than my 540i with Larini declared

S2 NA exige was one of the cheapest cars I'd insured, £230 with esure. £250 repeating the search today. Money supermarket brings up loads of others at similar prices.

My old diesel Volvo v70 was much more!

HTH,

Dunc.

[kiethton]

Can only dream of those prices - I'm at £880!

Although things are a little against me:

27 years old with GF named driver (30)
6 points - Feb-16 - SP50/£300
50/50 accident Jan-15
Non-fault accident Dec-16
SE London location

That's a very good price tbh - considering a parking prang can cause thousands of damage on these cars.

I had 2 non-fault incidents with my Elise, both resulted in cracked clams but no damage underneath, both were £8k+ claims!!
