111r Insurance

[Snapper]

I am after help trying to get a sensible quote for a 111r, run as a second car despite having a very good driving record. They don't like my central Birmingham Post Code or my occuption... Photographer.

 

I have tried Esteem, 1st Alternative, Couldn't get Confused.com web site to quote.

 

Anyone give me some names and numbers of other good insurance brookers... Please.

Jamie - may be a long way round but it might be worth trying to play the second cheapest off against the cheapest and see how far you get by doing this repeatedly - have heard of quite a few who will beat any price given and if you keep doing it long enough - that's about all that I can think of though.

 

Does your job have to be photographer? Couldn't it be media or cameraman or something?

Elephant.com

Try Egger Lawson http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk/

Eggar Lawson were 2nd cheapest for me, behind Tesco... but the policy was better with EL, so went with them

I played Elephant off against Admiral (same company) and got my quote down by about £80.

getting some improvements on quotes, any further help would be most helpfull.

[Scott_Mac]

It does seem to vary.... some people get great quotes from Elephant, Admiral, Esteem etc... whereas they are crap for me.

 

I got quoted:

 

Adrian Flux - £950

Eggar Lawson - £700

Tesco - £625

Direct Line - 560, but no track days. Been the best for me 3 years running now.

 

NU Direct before that was good for my first year.

 

These 2 probably only any good for non-modded cars. If you have mods, you'll need one of the specialists (see other posts above)

[Kris H]

Agree about DL for modded cars - couldn't really take the chance of changing when I was in the middle of a claim, so they took the piss, and then sent their mothers around to take this piss about the mods as well.

Other broker worth mentioning is Footman James - B'ham based, sports car specialist, track day & mod friendly.
