JasonR Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 I just renewed the insurance on my westy with Roadsure for the 2nd year, and it feels like only yesterday I first drove it 30 years old (plus wife 28) 4000miles pa '90 SeiW 1.6 4A-GE engine (160bhp) No claims or convictions The renewal was £154, at that price I didn't bother ringing round for an alternative. That price also includes RAC cover. Quote
scooby Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 32 years old Ban 3 years ago for totting up Zetec 2.0 16V Cost me £293 for 6000 miles inc breakdown With Adrian flux Quote
adam1330 Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 I was with Footman James until recently, and although I can't fault their service, and their quote was competitive for 4500 miles, when I wanted to increase to 6500 miles they wanted £190 extra, MSM and Roadsure only wanted less than £50 for the same.

Vasque Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Buying a SBD 2.0 vx '98 SEiW this weekend.... 235bhp, 3000pa, 32 (wife 29), 8 points (2 x sp30), 1 claim Dec 2002 (crashed my 4 month old porsche! - ) Total cost £304 with MSM Quote
langy Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 Once again thanks for all the replies. I have just had a quote from MSM for a SEiW 1800 zetec with 5k miles for £315 inc uk and european recovery or £290 if i join the WSCC. Just need to find the right car !!!!! Quote
Toby Mack Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 just done a ring round and ended up renewing with Roadsure. £2 more than my existing policy but doesn't have the silly MOT rule. (plus breakdown cover as Jason R says) Oddly I am paying £2 more than Jason R, his car is better spec than mine and I am 10 years older than him and I think we both have Guildford postcodes. Might be the SP30 my wife has I guess but they claimed that would make no difference. BTW. Roadsure asked if I had a bike or car engine. When I said car he said "that is ok then". I didn't ask why he made that comment but it implies they don't like bike engines so much Quote
Tigger Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 First insurance with a 2litre Lotus engine, fully comp, girlfriend as 2nd driver, £100 excess and 40+ age. Got a quote from Roadsure @ £148.00 which beat all other by far. One company wanted almost £500.00, how do they work that out? Quote
stavross Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Im 40 and insured with Roadsure , tele number in Kitcar Mag Pay around £200 , 3000 mile limit Quote

Might be the SP30 my wife has I guess but they claimed that would make no difference. Toby Yes my postcode is GU, I am surprised that you paying £2 more. Maybe it's mileage allowance, mine includes for 4,000pa. I think that Roadsure take the NCD on another policy into account as well, could that be the difference? I remember when I first got a quote from Roadsure all they were interested in was the size of the engine and the quote was generated by this. Quote
Persil Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Just had quote from MSM ...£380 for 1800 Zetec for 7500k miles per year and second driver ...No NCB but both clean licences and no accidents in last 7 years (ages 35 and 52) Personally i think thats abit high . Persil Quote
Toby Mack Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Hi Jason, Roadsure claimed they didn't take NCD into account, didn't ask for any info anyway! I've gone for 4000 miles too. I am suspicious that my postcode isn't helping. They reorganised the postcodes in fleet a couple of years ago and gave us a new on. I suspect their computer has no history on the new postcode so gives an average weighting rather than one that really reflects the low crime rate in the area. The new postcode is a lot of hassle all round, loads of computer systems don't know it exists yet! No way of proving this isn't just paranoia though..... Quote
gregh Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Does anyone have any experience with claiming from Roadsure? come out very cheap for my quote as well, so am tempted to go with them. cheers, greg Quote
Dommo Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Got quoted £469 for a 2.0 vauxhall 1988 pre litigation. Fully Comp. 21 years old, 3 points SP50 and 1 no fault accident. That was with MSM, didn't think it was too bad considering my age. Quote
davidgh Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Langy There is (or at least was) a useful list of willing insurers on www.totalkitcar.com I started at the top and rang them. Some were remarkably competitive. David Quote
Dommo Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 I used this list when I was first looking at Westfields http://www.ngcars.co.uk/buildyourown/insurancespecs.html Now I've found the right one, I've only rung MSM Quote
