Looking for policy to start on 25th September 2009 00:00

I've been mildly concerned about insuring my car as of September the 25th this year due to my age and the modifications that have been done to my car. My current insurers have only insured me for the remaining term of my policy out of a goodwill gesture, but don't ordinarily cover modifications.

I am currently paying over £1500 a year for comprehensive cover.

I submitted an online quotaiton request to Adrian Flux yesterday as a no-hoper expecting a price back above £2k which I would have binned straight away and considered selling the car.

But I have been pleasantly surprised to hear the following back:

Thank you for requesting an insurance quotation from Adrian Flux Insurance, the UK's top specialist motor broker. From the details provided we can provisionally offer a price of £1169.97.

This covers me with a jabba ARB and a 312mm brake upgrade, and a leather seat retrim.

Anyone got any experience of how their online estimates compare to the actual price you end up paying? Am I going to end up disappointed? I hope not! Much happier than I was when I asked for a quote 12 months ago!

Got a quote for mine last week and they couldn't do it much cheeper over the phone, but still its worth a ring.

The Adrian Flux quote wasn't bad, but i ended up going with Sky insurance as i have my MR2 with them and got a multi policy discount and owners club discount which made it nice and cheep. They also took off the brokers fee and threw in legal protection for nothing.

Both companies were very friendly and helpful. Had previous policies with both before and had nothing but good service.

Back in November Adrian Flux were the only people I spoke to who were actually prepared to give me a quote! :eek:

Stupid modifications!!

Although it seemed steep at the time i was comparing it to the price i paid for my standard Ibiza PD130 - and the increase with everything declared was about 50% on top again.

looking forward to do the phoning round thing again in a couple of months.

Oh and Ed your insurance is far too expensive you need to give the car to me to raid for parts and then turn into a track weapon :P

Just rang up and the kind lady has saved the quote until 25th September so I can accept it and proceed then.

Now to ring Chris Knott to see if they'll do any better but I somehow doubt it! :o

I've been with bell for over 2 years now.. Really competitive with my fabia...

Cheap Car Insurance Quotes | FlexiBell Cover | Bell Car Insurance

Give them a go for a quote before you accept this one.

TIP: Add additional drivers, I've got a grandparent and my (older by 4 years ;):thumbup:) girlfriend on there. It bought the premium down quite a bit as it shares the calculated risk between drivers. It's completely legal and my argument is i've insured them on it incase they ever want to use it, saved me a few hundred...

Im fully comp with FlexiBell (type of cover), 20 with 3 years no claims, from memory the premium is around 800...

EDIT: Apologies, i've posted a link to another company in a traders section, feel free to remove if it's a problem..
