Title: Insurance up for renewal.
Post by: Missy_MV6 on 16 August 2008, 15:29:29
Hi guys the insurance for the MV6 is due for renewal at the beginning of Sept.At the moment I am with Hastings Direct but their renewal quote is quite hefty so I am going to change companies.
I have had a quick look on the net and the cheapest I have found is £350 fully comp but that dosen't include protected 7 years no claims bonus.Including that bumps it up quite a lot.
Does anyone pay less than this? Any info appreciated. ;)

Yep, about 100 less!  obviously underwriting criteria come into play - try Bell, and they will often reduce further if you speak to them.

Good luck!

I think the MV6 and the tractor are around £250 each.  Admiral, though I've heard bad things about them.  And they use RAC windscreens....

Yeah tried go compare etc just a bit worried about going with companies we have never heard of.Thought word of mouth may have been a bit safer.
Direct line have come up with a decent quote but without protected bonus...£350

Post up the companies with the cheap quotes, most are subsiduries of the big boys anyway.

I pay 280 on one and 250 on the other.

No bad price, esp as you buggered up your no claims last year (or was it year before  :-/)...

It had no effect on the no-claims bonus, and seems to have little effect on the premium either as it did not change!
