Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Just dug out this thread since my renewal is due and Eggar Lawson are over £500 cheaper for me than sticking with Direct Line, and aren't concerned about my mods either.

Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Do you have to pay them more for track days etc or is it covered? Have spoken to a couple of others and they don't reckon they'll be able to get close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_Mac Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 You get 4 track days included in the quote... after that it is £50 + £5 per £1000 extra value of your car over a specified amount. It seems to vary per car. For my car, they quoted £60 per day, some were quoted £120... best check. But the 4 included ones are probably sufficient for me tbh.

Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Cool - if I do any then 1 will probably be enough. £500 is a massive difference though and for some reason makes me start thinking about nitrons again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Gets even better - autotorque have come back £100 cheaper still. This means that my insurance will actually have dropped £1000. How silly is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan E Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Kris, Doesn't it get you very angry when you think how much you "might" have paid. Regards Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Kind of makes me a bit ratty when it's the same company I've been with for four years who send me a nice letter saying thanks ever so much and here's your new premium and then basically take a large dump in the letter in terms of premium. Woohoo, 40% discount, and then 30% back on for mods with no track days. At least I feel happy that the total amount I have paid them is probably less than the value of my claim which went through last year. Had I realised that they were going to have a laugh at the time though I think I'd have snapped a couple of extra bits off just for the hell of it. Had to stick with them this last year since my claim was going through as the renewal was due and I didn't want to take any chances. Ridiculous thing is that I've now managed to get the elise down to less than the focus. Hmmmnnn. That makes sense then!

Mark H Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm with Autotorque, took me about 4 months to actually get my insurance certificate through mind, after about 4 cover notes (which I had to remind them to send each time) and much complaining I got it in the end. They were blaming it on the underwriter not sending it out, I dont care whos fault it was they should have chased it harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris H Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 For £1000/a set of nitrons, I can live with the insurance cert being late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
