Hagerty gave me some silly quotes on Griffs/Chims.........about 250-260 quid per year. It didn't even have to be on a classic car policy i.e. over ten years old, just had to have a normal everyday car as well.

That was 38, live in West Sussex, 3000 p.a (although I think upping it to 5000 pa only added 20-30 quid to it), garaged.

Other things they take into account are
is it garaged
are you the only driver
may have 4 yrs no claims but any accident history in the last 3 (sometimes 5) years.

I would also try A Plan. My local branch always seem to try very hard.

Mannings, while quite possibly not the cheapest offered the best package for me.

Cheapest is not always best. IMHO.

If you're doing less than 5k PA then I'd suggest Haggerty. Else try A-plan as they were best for me.

Anyone actually claimed against any of these companies??? Personally, cheap isn't always best - we had insurance via Tesco who yes, were cheap, but when we had to make a claim bloody hell were they awful.
Currently with Mannings who understand what a Tiv actually is. I would ask a a lot more questions before committing.

Something I don't understand is that when I got a quote from SAGA (yep, over 50 !!) it was more expensive to insure with myself as only driver than with my wife as named driver as well.

Now, where is the logic in that?

I'm another with Privilege, quoted me £400 for the Griff on 10 000 miles. RAC were also competitive at £350. All the so-called specialists seem to charge morew for less miles. They might include track days but that is no benefit if you don't do track days. I work on the premise that all insurance companies are sh** therefore cheapest is best.

Looked into getting a griff with my brother - £2.7k with 5 yrs no claims am thinking that I have to wait a bit longer... If you do ring around though, it is usually cheaper, but I would see what the service level is like before you commit, as it has been said earlier in the thread cheaper isn't always better. I would rather get people to recommend on the basis of dealing with claims.
