Just did my insurance through VW. £730 for full business use on a 2.0TSi with only £100 excess. Didn't expect it, only rang to get my free 7 days insurance and thought I may as well get a quote while I was on the phone.
Swift cover looked good until I actually starting adding in the things I would normally expect on a policy. Brentacre were cheaper (£690) but with a £500 excess, Chris Knott a bit more (£780).

Re: Insurance
I'm gutted I couldn't use Sky. But an admin error @ my current insurance that they have no rectified meant my no claims form would of been BS. Next year, I will be in a better position and my insurance should be well cheaper. Here's hoping for a good insurance year to all who have renewed (i.e. a safe one!)

Re: Insurance
My renewal quote has just come through the door at £521.
Using confused.com the same insurance company wants £800! I have double checked the details, correct on the renewal paperwork, just don't understand how they price car insurance as it usually works the other way round.

Re: Insurance
For the first time in about 8 years I stayed with the same insurance company. No matter who ,what ,why and where I tried I could not get cheaper -( trust me I'm tight!) I could not save any money. My premium had gone up by about £30. Other quotes where a lot higherjimma1983 wrote:My renewal quote has just come through the door at £521.

It seems some insurers have woken up to the fact that they need to keep their customers and not just presume you'll pay an inflated renewal withut searching around.

Re: Insurance
My insurance for a 2TDi GT BMT was about £410 - swift cover - the cheapest one I could find
Thats parked in a garage, does less than 10,000, 8 years no claims.
Enquired about the premium with and without a cobra tracker - exactly the same price!

Just renewed my 170 GT, £233 with Directline, just about the only good thing about being older.
