AndyPG Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Hi All, Wow, Just got my insurance renewal through. Gone up by nearly 80%. I'm currently with Performance Direct, anyone got any recommendations for a cheaper company? They were leagues ahead of everyone else last year. Andy.

Gold FFM tomcattom Posted January 8 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 8 I've been with ClassicLine ever since I got my Esprit. In fact I have four cars insured with them on various classic and laid up policies at present. 1 Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPG Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Thanks guys, I've used the online quote form on Peter Best's website and they are quoting only 10% more that my previous insurance cost with Performance direct. Result. I'll give AIB and Classic line a try too. Will let you know my findings. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydclements Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 It's Fooman James, it was a shock as I cannot think of anything that is happening for me to reduce it (I have a big birthday, but that's a couple of months after renewal), cars un-changed etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Kevin Wheeler Posted January 9 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 9 Looks like I might need to look around. Mind you 3,000 miles is no good. I generally do 6-7,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3000 figure was voluntary and a realistic expected mileage chosen by me. I'm sure that if I had told them 7000, the cost might only be a little more. Andy.

(Thanks Danny) Glad you got sorted at a reasonable price. That's about the same as mine with AIB, including commuting cover and the current Mrs H (even though she has no intentions of ever driving it!). Garaged with alarm and tracker and I'm early 50s with a clean licence. TBH when I've insured a couple of other classics short term to play with, they've all been about £100p/a for 3000 miles, almost regardless of what the car actually is. When something 'interesting' is your second or third car I guess they know it's your baby so alongside the limited use it's low risk.
