Pordave Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Evening all. I have just had a renewal notice for my 1999 2.7 Boxster at £295 fully comp with Privilege this is £62 up on last year. I’m 69 with a clean license and full no claims. Limited mileage at 5k -6k per annum Can anyone suggest anywhere cheaper as I’m a cheap skate! cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14 Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hi @Pordave I have just renewed my Boxster 986 3.2S insurance, fully comp (Social domestic & pleasure) with Saga, I am 61. I paid £177 fixed price for three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I paid £274 for a 2000 3.2S, I'm 54, it is parked on a drive in NN15, 7k miles with The Better ½ (58) and we both have multiple location business use cover. Alas I fear your age could be a factor as you will pass 70 in this insurance year and this is often a step up in risk on those elusive actuarial tables. Shop around.

Topbox Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'm with Aviva, find them decent, particularly if you have another vehicle and use their multicar policy option. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurassicBGTS Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I have switched all three cars from Saga, who I have been with for 15 years to LV. Saga's price went through the roof on all cars☹ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasz Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Just paid £80 Go via quidco compare, chose 1st Central at £150 Quidco gives £45 cashback and there was a £25 bonus cashback too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Was with them for my 718 and Corsa, Corsa cost peanuts on the multi car policy. Have my main car insured with the still, phoned to add on a 6k Audi A3, "We can match your no claims on that sir, £1400 for the year please." Told them to intercourse elsewhere, an absolute joke of a quote. LV did it for around a quarter of the price, despite not mirroring my no claims.

Pordave Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 S14. Gawd knows how you got such a small offer of £177 for 3 years. The devils have just quoted me £537. I must be subsidising yours! I’ll have to try elsewhere or stick with Privilege Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman986s Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I think the price is fixed for 3 years..not 3 years cover for £177... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14 Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Hi, @greenman986s is correct, it’s £177 / year and that price is fixed for 3 years, but no doubt some small print is hidden away somewhere in their documents, that allows them to increase it!!!

Pordave Posted September 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 S14. Sorry, I do appreciate it was £177/Pa but that is a long way from £537/pa Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Try A-Plan at Bletchley. They've always found me a good policy at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkA Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just renewed my 2002 986 Boxster S with Footman James under their classic policy. 3K miles PA. £184 for the year including agreed value and no fee salvage retention. It was much less painful than for my Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo which was £2300 pa - its really hard to insure them right now for some reason.

Out of interest what is the agreed value and what are the excesses? Windscreen cover is also being dropped quietly by some insurers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed value for my car is £8000. the policy is issued on the basis that I am a member of an agreed car club - which in my case I am of PCGB.

GmanB Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Not for a 986, but my renewal was £60 cheaper on my Toyota this year compared to multiple quotes from comparison sites. I believe there are now new rules around renewals and pricing, which seems to be working for the most part. This doesn't apply to buildings, contents or breakdown insurance sadly. Unless, you've been in an accident there really is no reason for your premium to go up. Get cheaper quotes from comparisons and present them to current insurer if you want less hassle and to stay with them. Call them and first ask if it's their best quote, quite often it's not and they are just reaping on the lazy. After that, give them quotes from other insurers, they'll often price match. It's a pain, but often worth it, helped my Mother save £260 a few years back. NCD can also have a dramatic impact on pricing. Apply NCD to your car that is the most expensive to insure. 👍 Also, do remember that quotes can change day to day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBarediver Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 My renewal is due in April - cheapest so far is £243.34 per annum. My little Alfa 147 is over £500.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Just had my renewal through... was £360 last year, now they want £540. Ho hum. Let's see what gocompare come back with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eob Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 My renewal this month with LV was £600. More than double last years. The Meerkat gave me Aviva for £200 +£25 for RAC breakdown cover. Just goes to show that they are making it up and hoping that Great British apathy will pay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 (edited) 2000 986 S kept on drive 7k miles with European cover and business use multiple locations for me and The Better ½, £244, up about 20%... For the value of any likely saving it wasn't worth the hassle. Edited March 11 by ½cwt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Yeah a quick comparison suggests I can insure my 987S for £280, not the £540 the renewal suggests. Which is pretty decent if you ask me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 £180 according to Meerkats today. The only advantage of being old I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
