detail1 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Having similar issues on my renewal with Admiral multicar, can get my sons Polo down by £350, but only £50 reduction in mine, they want £650 for the Boxster. I can get it for half that with other insurers, but then my sons premium goes back up to £1200 on his own policy, as opposed to £900 (20 year old). They claimed that despite 30 years of relatively trouble free driving, the Boxster is a powerful sports car, and that I may still be coming to terms with this, hence the underwiters have to take this into account- oh give me a break!!! ?

Sazzy Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ok I wish I'd never said about the £2.50. That was my renewal on this address but I'm moving less than half a mile up the road next month. With the new address the cheapest quote is £120 more and one without a £700 excess is £1700!!! I could cry, if I can't get better quotes I won't be able to afford to keep the Box ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanatoid Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Doesn't matter what you say, somehow one of the insurance companies will try to wring as much out of you as they can. Thankfully, there no honour amongst insurance companies and another will hopefully try to stiff one of the others. (sort of heard that phrase before...) Daughters moved address in Cornwall and saved £54 on a £720 policy, next time around get rid of black box.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi @detail1 I have Aviva multicar with 4 cars including my 986, and a 21 year old. I have found in the past Admiral try it on but will often reduce by large amounts, although I baled with Admiral a couple of years back in favour of Aviva. Aviva do the same come renewal.

Aviva do the same come renewal. @Topbox yep I reckon they all do with the multicar upon renewal. Catch 22 if I keep as is they will reduce my sons by £350 and mine by £75 bringing it to £900 and £600. I know that I can get like for like elsewhere and pay half that for mine, but then my sons goes back up by £350. My heart says tell them to do one, my head says otherwise ?

So they seem to think!! I'm moving from a main B road to a quieter residential road. Nothing else has changed. Had quotes from the usual comparison sites, Admiral and Aviva. Also tried Classicline on the recommendation of a previous poster who declined to quote due to the 'specialist nature of my car'. I see Locktons, Mannings and Adrian Flux all want you to call them. They did say insurance will increase more than ever in 2018. Nick's trying to get a renewal on his Golf and even they are all coming back higher than expected.

S14 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Sazzy, Insurance on my 986 3.2s is due, and the cheapest I have been quoted (fully comp), with a compulsory excess £580 and no voluntary excess is £186. This is with quotemehappy (Aviva). Directline was £220 Mind you I am an old ?, so I guess that helps!!!!!! I am with Saga at present, but their renewal has gone up to £300.

Gorsh Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 @Sazzy I wonder if the road you are moving to is a bit more ‘out of the way’ and has a record of more crime/ car theft. Anyway, I wonder if you have tried NFU - there may even be a local office in your area? I only ask because I have found them to be excellent - OK there’s no agreed value or track day cover (not something I wanted anyway) but they do offer everything else you could want. I also had an accident in France in May (not my fault) and their claims team was brilliant - all settled now and I’ve had a renewal since with no penalty on my premium. Good luck with getting sorted - hate to see you lose the Boxster ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made two claims in the last 3 years of that time and they paid out no quibble in fact they even waived the excess on one of them! Total payout over £10k ! It's a shame you can't get an online quote but they do have an office in my town. I will try them, thanks ? Sorry OP for crashing your thread!

PaulQ Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I was with admiral/elephant/bell direct for years, but they wanted close to 500 quid for the Box. Under 200 with Aviva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Renewal time - Priviledge are current insurers want £740 - 2 drivers, 9 years NCD, 1 accident each (neither at fault) - best renewal so far is about £550 - trying NFU and Adrian Flux. More Than wanted 1550!!! Lowest quote was £445 with a black box - errr no! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemag Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Insu is a minefield, so many variables to make up a quote. I use Adrian Flux classic policy, £175 fully comprehensive, £300 excess. Restricted miles, standard car 986 2.7 litre. But I'm 63 and live in rural wales with full advanced police grade one on bikes and cars, ( classed above IAM qualifications)25yrs Ncb. ....etc etc It pays to be an olde hooligan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just renewed our multicar insurance with Admiral for £632 to cover my 2.5 986, 2.2TD Galaxy and the wife's Jaguar 3.0D XF. That's £28 more than last year but we had a mondeo then instead of the Jag. Original quote was over £800 due to the Jag but they offered a large discount to keep me happy.
