Car insurance

scooba0010 · 09-15-2009, 12:37 AM

Who is using anyone they would recommend ?? Both my cars need insuring in Oct ,My e90 325d and my wifes c class 250 cdi sport.

I have been using Swift cover for several years they are part of the AXA ins group and have been easy to use (albeitnever needed them) .

Any thoughts on multi car policys ??

TIA

I have just renewed using Adrian Flux, beat all other quotes by £50. good service and taylors policy to need

My 325d is insured with Adrian Flux too.

Cheaper than anyone else plus got around a £100 reduction when I added the mrs to the policy even though she is younger than me.

I found BMW Insurance to be the cheapest and best by a mile - which was rather a shock!

I had a nice (Golf R32) car crashed into years ago - went to the dodgiest body shop ever, was loaned a knackered old Micra that had been paint strippered and it was a right pain - especially as the crash was no fault of mine.

So knowing the car would be repaired properly and that I'd get a proper courtesy car if I ever need one (hopefully not) is worth quite a bit to me. Also got free keycare cover too. It helps being an old (34) git though!

I usually go to a comparison web site before renewal time like

http://www.moneysupermarket.com/

Pick some of the reputable named ones that are cheap and
Then see how much the cashback sites are offering for joining though there link

Like: https://www.quidco.com/

Got the VW Pirelli GTi (2nd Car so no no-claims discount) best named quote on Moneysupermarket morethan @ £440 then £75 Cashback though Quidco

Bell were cheapest for me by an absolute MILE (well along with Elephant and Admiral about £20 more, but still same company really).

Now started Admiral Multi-car and saved a fortune.

+1 - Admiral were the cheapest for the M3 (by a good hundred quid) and were the only firm that were not insisting on a tracker being fitted (saving me a further £300-£400) - they then went on to quote for the missus car, and knocked another £90 of her insurance if we took out the multicar deal.

The phone operators were great, very helpful and in the UK!!! - All paperwork arrived within a couple of days and was all present and correct

Not had to claim so cannot comment on that side of things but have all the extras in place (included, not extra cost) such as legal cover, courtesy car, windscreen cover, etc..

Liverpool Victoria were the best for me. Mod friendly and added business use class 1

dxb335d · 09-16-2009, 07:05 AM

I thought the 325d went mate and you purchased a golf?

That's outrageous - either you were paying far too much before, or you've got a superb deal

Best I could source at the time. I used confused etc to get the best price then had Tesco beat it.

I'm a happy bunny and can't wait to pick up tomorrow!

I'd agree, simple web site, and considerably cheaper than most (in my case).
