Just thought I would share my insurance tale.

My renewal came through from A/F. I spoke to them about current value etc and asked if their quote was the best they could do. As I'm sure you would expect yes it was.

I phoned around a few other insurers and then called A/F back to take advantage of their "we beat any price" offer. I have to admit to not being very surprised to find they dropped it from £224 inc legal and European breakdown to £151!

I'm very happy with that! It's annoying having to phone around but well worth the hours effort.

Oddly I have been on the phone with them today as well.... You don't want to know how much I am having to pay to insure a 13 year old landrover!

Flux quoted me over £500 for my modified MK1 Fiesta, went with Graham Sykes who are brokers for KJG specialist insurance and been with them for 3 years now, my insurance quotes from them were £170 first year, £210 second year and £156 this year, this I am happy with.

Edit - should add this includes £16 for legal expenses cover as well.

I know this feeling all too well! I used to insure my Defender 90 with them, but the quotes went up and up. Currently hunting around some of the other specialists for better quotes....

I managed to negotiate them down from the renewal price of £400 (tp,f&t) to £256 fully comp.

With any renewal I may or may not give the insurance company a mysteriously competitive quote from another insurer, that could or could not be made up.... But the upshot is it seems to work and saves the hassle or calling around.
