I know there is another area for this on the main forum, but its a Doblo specific observation from a soon to be owner.

I am looking to insure my first Doblo in a few months, and imagine my shock to discover ITS CHEAP !!!!!!!!! :slayer:

To be quoted just under £300 in the immediate M25 area with two other named drivers on a nearly new car made me try a few other websites thinking there was some mistake. There wasn't, as a good few came in at sensible prices.

For a giggle I put in the two French equivalents (you know the ones) and each came in over £150 a year dearer for my circumstances.

I am rapidly starting to see what people see in the Doblo :worship:

Shock is the word! I've just got my first quote for a full year for my 52 reg Doblo JTD ELX. My present insurer wants £558 TPF&T, and the cheapest on Compare the Market wants £495 TPF&T

I'm 51 years old with 10 years NCB, ffs Is it my postcode? Mine is an OL (Oldham)

What are others paying?

EDIT: Just got a quote of £420 fully comp with Hastings, which is cheaper than TPF&T! I don't get it

Seems strange. I mean I don't even live in a particular choice area, so I was surprised how cheap it was. Maybe its because in my case its a third car, I have a dull low risk job and I selected a low annual mileage ? Trouble is these websites are so clever, it just isn't possible to really guess what can cause strange results.

Try CarolNash they are very competitive. They also include free breakdown cover.

fully com, me & wife etc £212...and thats up from £187 last year (1.9JTD)

mines £312 full comp full rac cover full protection on no claims mind you i've added the mods (pics in members motors),but i'll be bartering soon ??
as £6 per wk is still a lot

£157 for my 1.2 SX from Direct Line, fully comp I am 57 with full no claims but live in an area of Kilmarnock that was on the Telly

£157! That's cheap! Was it on the telly saying that it was the greatest and safest place on earth?

£157? Bet you and Bullet are as happy as larry....couldn't be happier!

Me - £228 comp inc business on a 3 yr old 1.4 petrol. 40 yrs old. 4 yrs no claims (no claims ever but I was abroad until 4 yrs ago) living in a posh area of Hampshire. Through Gocompare....Esure.

Spot on my man!
Funnily enough in 25 years I have not had a bit of trouble (touch wood) and our premiums are some of the lowest in the country, so don't always believe what you see on the telly

Well, after the initial shock of receiving a quote of £558 tpf&t for my old 1.9 JTD ELX with my present insurer, I eventually got insured with Direct Line for £357 fully comp! They were the cheapest I could find anywhere, and by some margin. They're currently offering 12 months insurance for the price of 10.

Given the huge differences in all our quotes here, I can only guess it's down to postcode

I am sure you are right.

As a sequel to my original post, I actually got my insurance for about £250, as a few days after taking up the quote the insurer contacted me and asked if I would put one of my other cars on the same policy making it a dual car policy. My other car is a much higher group, but to get two newish cars insured for about £650 in total in the M25 area, I reckon has worked out okay.
