AndyPG Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 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, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 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.
