where ????????:hysteria: flyer.

 

if i drove without insurance (not that i will) and got a £500 fine it would be cheaper than insuring my car!!!!!! logical i think not!!!!!!!!!!


Bamzt.

sadly this is why we do have so many uninsured drivers on the road.

have already told them what i think and where they can go... even offered to draw a diagram if they are having problems with directions :hysteria:

best realistic quote so far £550 with £500 excess which is still more than last year and the excess has doubled .... i am now at point where i cant actually go into an insurance company to get a quote as i would not be responsible for my actions.

what can we do they have u sby the B***S

my my thats a lot of cursing bam :bgrin2: flyer.

 

Uninsured drivers is more than just a fine,big points also and any damages caused via accidents are usually persued,people claiming whiplash etc at the slightest chance and garages ripping the cost of repairs overestimating on jobs they know will never be checked out before authorisation.

Theres a few reasons we all get screwed over.

With all the excitement and all, I forgot to give my dog his liver - (chiante comes later f f f f f f f f f )

bam, have you tried LV= or adrian flux.

 

That sucks mate insurance can really get my back up at times i feel your pain ! Try Direct Line if you haven't already always found them good for mg's !

 

Direct line £542 with £500 excess :cus::cus: unfortunatly best so far :cus::cus: that or £440 with £800 excess so its getting there... am still :cus:

 

you cannot and will not take on a £800 excess i wont allow it yi hear . flyer.:2c::bgrin2:

 

Not sure if this is true or not but... When getting multiple quotes for insurance, word gets around that you are looking for insurance and they all get to know about it, possibly with ramifications about the price. I think the same thing applies if you are looking for credit to buy a car as well.

Big brother maybe watching???

I'm the same age as you Bam. I was paying £540 through Tesco last year for my 190. My Renewal was about 3 months ago, and guess what, mine doubled too!! Well, nearly. Mine's £970 a year now. Tried to to get cheaper quotes, you know, shop around. But, nothing!!
I know exactly how you feel.

 

Don't know if it helps but I renewed my 190 in May with Quoteline Direct for £371 and £250 excess (£150 voluntary). They have been the best for me for the last 3 years. Granted that is with 9+ years protected NCB but could be worth a call?!? My other quotes at the time ranged from £500 to £1200!

 

thanks for the suggestion but £800 with £450 excess :angry::angry::angry:

am starting to think Mr Edd is right.....

 

oops just checked , yes skippy [mr edd] was right i retract my earlier put down . flyer.

 

Its a dark day in many ways :sad2:

 

Whatever you pay if you don't make a claim that is money down the drain over the years I have poured thousands and thousands down that drain and only have pieces of paper and peace of mind to show for it so I have no interest in the excess I just want to pay as little as possible.

No doubt my contributions have covered the cost that many a Joy rider has inflicted so I really feel better for that ......................

That is the way of the world though if you can be held accountable and have something to loose job home etc then you have to pay for that privilege.

As for the OP FYI the MG classifies as a classic car if you can accept a limited mileage policy and don't want business travel, pump some variations into the Lancaster classic policy site or try Footman James
I had my ZT260 insured with Lancaster a £270 and I now have my 325i cabriolet with them at £124

 

join the club keith , i have given 28 years of public hire , never claimed and yet i am still £600 plus a year for public hire insurance , it breaks my heart , i once paid £2,000 in 1982 and that was a a LOT of dosh then , ive never seen a coin back . flyer.:fishslap:

 

Have you tried Lancaster Insurance through the MG Owners club?

 

....or Brit insurance?

LOL, don't. I'm paying £1400 for the 260 with Brit The CDTI was only around £500.

(Although that includes business use as well)

 

Try Norwich Union direct, my Quote just under £400, full no claims, full comp with £150 excess, including legal cover.
Has gone to £75 from £60 windsceen excess, only change from last year.
I am a heck of a lot older than you though!!! but that is supposed to raise premiums also

Did a search using moneysupermarkets could not get a better quote on above terms
AA just beat it but wanted £450 excess
Try your luck

you been on tesco and compare cause asda tryed that with me got my zt down to 270 250 excess full ncd and my coupe is 280full comp no ncd my gxsr 750 180 mph killer 98 pound a year pays to shop around

 

Unles your insurance circumstances have changed significantly in the last year (fines, points, change of address, additional drivers, third party to fully comp?) there is no way on earth the premium can have nearly doubled?

I have two cars insured and both policies have come down again this year (admittedly i am 39 and wife is 37 so we have a few years on you but even so!)

This is exactly my point not one single thing has changed no fines/points/claims additional drivers change in level of insurance or change of address!!! the ONLY difference is i am a year older with an extra years no claims bonus. asked for explanation.. couldnt give me one....

 

the IRA and UVF have decommissioned thier weapons i think damien should follow suit lol flyer.

decommission himself lol :hysteria:

 

Swift cover have been the best for me by far for my ZT; fair enough it is only the 120 but some other quites (Direct Line, Tesco's, Virgin and all other major companies via confused.com and moneysupermarket.com) were stupid!

Heck I drive a highly tuned N/A Integra DC5 as well and the insurance for that is only £400 a year plus £250 excess and that's with EVERY MOD declared (everything from hard-race bushes to engine internals etc...)!!!

Some insurance companies need their bumps reading!!! Either that or some more bumps added and I'll gladly offer my services for that
