I am coming up to my second years of no claims and am seriously considering a Fabia vRS as my next car.

However I have a problem. I've been trying a few online quotes to see what the price would be for a vRS with 2 years no claims. and it keeps saying "Unable To Quote". This happens with most of popular companies like Directline (current insurer), Tesco, Quinn Direct, etc.

Now here's the point I don't understand.

I can insure a SEAT Ibiza FR for around £700. It's the same insurance group as the vRS (Group 9) and im not wrong in thinking they are identical engines? I really don't understand why I can't insure the vRS. I can get insurance on my dad's Octavia Mk1 1.9 TDI 110BHP which if I remember right is insurance group 12.

The only thing I can put it down to is that they are more popular and perhaps more have been involved in bumps? I often see Cat D vRS's on eBay

Any ideas on where to get cheap insurance? I will be modifying in the future so any insurance companies that are more modding friendly than most would be good.

now bud im was 19 when i took my insurance out on my furby vrs i too add two years no claims and i pay £1100 an that was with swift car insurance

Hi mate, im 21 with 1 year no claims plus a crash!

Was with Tesco and they wouldnt insure me as i had to have 2year ncb plus i think some companies see the vRS as a sort after proformance vehicle !

So im with (swiftcover.co.uk) an online insurer now and paying around £700per year!

Hope this helps!

Keep searching the www. there will be companies out there who will insure you.

Seeing x amount of cars advertised as insurance cat repaired will have no bearing on if someone will insure you.

The joys of getting old.......25, 4yrs NCB = £300 fully comp:cool:

Admiral have been reasonable for me - was about 550 for 10 months I think - as long as you read the terms and conditions and know exactly what's covered by your policy in terms or replacements and valuing of your car.

But yea - there's lots of stuff on here regarding accidents with the VRS and it being a 'risk' vehicle....some people can get much higher insurance group cars for a lower premium.

I've found Admiral to be something of a bargain!

Just got a quote from Swift Cover. £790 which is pretty much the same as what Directline wanted for a SEAT Ibiza FR

Thanks

We are with Chris Knott - moved from AON this year - £330 fully comp, with business, and all mods declared

PS We are both in our 30s!

Chris Knottt pretty good & give Briskoda discount

Its really a lottery, just keep trying. You will even find some brokers have more clout with companies than others & will get different rates etc with the same company

£203.00, full ncd with protection, legal cover and replacement car included.

Also unlimited foreign use including the wife to drive.

Beat that!

Now that is impressive! Are you over 50?

No, but I am a member of the IAM.

Right another problem. Swiftcover insure a standard VRS for £790 but the special edition it wont quote me for. I checked why and it says I'm not old enough. I don't understand. It's the same power and I hardly think a few luxury extra qualify for them not being able to insure me. Any ideas? Swiftcover are the only ones so far to give me a reasonable quote on a Fabia VRS

try co-operative insurance (cis.co.uk), they did a much better price than others would for my SE, and it was correctly listed, unlike the Admiral database, which thinks that a "Fabia VRS Ltd Edition" is a 4-door saloon.

to use briskoda on Chris Knott do you need to be a fully paid up member of Briskoda, or just a registered member of the forum?
