Pleasantly surprised by insurance quote ..........
Discussion
.....unlikely as it may sound ! Just started the dreaded annual ring around prior to renewal at the beginning of July. Clearly with insurance it is a case of horses for courses - companies who have been extremely competitive for others on here have laughed me out of the door. Given my particualr set of circumstances (1990 964 C2, aged 29, parked on-street in central London, one claim three years ago and girlfriend as additional driver) there are very few companies prepared to quote. Last couple of years I have been forced down the route of the 'big boys' - Admiral et al. I have yet to receive my renewal quote from them but I was paying c.£900 for 8000 miles fully comp with protected bonus - no doubt the renewal will come out the wrong side of £1K.
Anyway having had several knock backs and quotes of £2K plus, Asset Trust http://www.asset-trust.co.uk/classic.htm came up with a quote of £711.50, granted this is only 5000 miles, but I thought something of a bargain - and here's the clincher they have no trouble with me putting a roll cage in (try getting that past Admiral !) and were happy with any of the other mods (exhaust, seats, suspension etc.)that Admiral may or may not know about ;) All in all a good result it would seem.
They say that they do try to be particularly competitive on London policies - so give them a try if you are up for renewal soon. (No affiliation by the way ! )
Sorry for the long ramble - just very pleased on a slow Friday afternoon !
