Stuart Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Insurance time again - is it still A Plan? Gone up another tenner and I expected a bit better having not been able to use the car for 3 months. I was gonna compare with Footman James but online they want my inside leg measurement before they'll give me a quote and I hate calling insurance brokers.....

AngliaWestie Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I’ve just done mine through Chris at A-Plan Thatcham and he was absolutely brilliant and came back with a fully comp plan with Markerstudy that blew everything else away and that was for 3 named drivers, one of which has a “hotlist” occupation!! the number for them is 01635 874646 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the renewal notice says this "....if you have been with us for a number of years you may be able to get the insurance cover you want want at a better price if you shop around". The underwriters are Highway Insurance and I'm reading that as a nod that I might be being caned for loyalty by Highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My renewal said the same but tbh its only gone up about £5 from last year and before that had stayed steady for 5 years. I too hate the online form filling routine only to find out once they do have your inside leg measurement they decline to quote or its a rediculous amount....

Stuart Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Mines gone up £25 in the last 3 years...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Mines with Footman James, on a fleet policy with my other cars. To add the Westy and it’s trailer to the policy cost about £70 for the year. This was easy to do and seemed good value so I didn’t bother shopping around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty72 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 So, whats everyone paying and who are you with? My renewal is due end of this month on Mega S2000 and the price is the same as last year. PM me if you'd rather not disclose it publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrops-paul Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Aplan again for me. They just insured my tin top too and mirrored the no claims to both cars. Brilliant service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mine back in April when I was furloughed so admittedly had nothing better to do, but after a couple days back and forth between APlan thacham, Adrian flux and footman James I knocked over £100 off my renewal.

Nope FCA requirement to put this in renewals now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LythamBrownie Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Cat amongst the pigeon time..... Adrian Flux for me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exitus Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Adrian Flux for me too. I've been with them for a few years with my (lightly modified) tintop, and it's been getting cheaper year on year when most other insurers won't even give me a quote. Just insured the Westfield with them too, and got a really good price. Interestingly, the underwriter is Markerstudy who AngliaWestie above got a policy from though A Plan. I'll certainly be shopping around though next year. It's irritating, but always worth it. Two hours on the phone yesterday knocked nearly £200 off my home insurance renewal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXRORY Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I went AF as well as they could include 5 trackdays for much cheaper than a plan could. And it's just a blanket 500 xs. However customer service I feel is stronger with a plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
