General Bad news :(

[ross_sei]

Just got my insurance renewal through, and it nearly doubled from last year!!

Trying to get £2000 out of me for a year, and thats as a named driver!!

Last year it was less than £1000!!

Tried ringing around everyone, but the only way i can get insured cheaper is to take all the mods off the car :-(

Im absolutely gutted, really cant believe it!

 

[arc]

have you tried HIC and adrian flux?

 

[StoneNewt]

what happened during the year?

 

[custard]

did you have some sort of introductary offer last year?

 

[chaos]

have you tried HIC and adrian flux?

HIC, IIRC, don't offer cover to Ireland/Northern Ireland.

 

[ross_sei]

nothin happened, just went up. no no introductory offer - said i was more of a risk this year!

tried actually everyone. absolutely gutted.

and to add to things, front windscreen is now letting in copius amounts of water, as its raining!!!!

and then had my phone, camera and wallet stolen on thurs nite when i was on last night of holiday.

hate life!!

how damn irritating!

 

[custard]

right then,what does confused.com come back with on quotes?
did you insure unmodded last year and add the mods over the year?
have oyu asked if security upgrades would help?(doubtful)
if you dont do big miles then reduce your declared mileage

i see location "Bangor" i think North Wales, not Ireland! my bad!

It's Bangor in Northern Ireland.

That's pretty serious for a Cento. What's your driving history? Any crashes/claims?

Have you tried Quinn Direct?

 

[ross_sei]

no crashes, or claims, or anything!!

tried them steve yea, no luck!

and those quotes are only as a named driver. heard back today, can keep the exhaust on, but costing me £100. springs still have to come out, which really is the most disappointing thing!

 

[custard]

weird,has there been a lot of claims in the last year i wonder

Had a few lads from ireland on my uni course, they said it is shocking to insure a car over there if you are young. I didnt beleive them but im seeing evidence of that by whats been posted!

hope it gets sorted
