Car Insurance

[northernladyuk]

£1,393.14 from Admiral (via GoCompare)

Still less than £2.4k they were quoting when I first checked with them direct

Look on the bright side. That's significantly cheaper than a year ago in USD or EUR terms.

Are they the only people who will insure you due to the dodgy area you live in?

No, but other insurers who gave a bit cheaper price to me seemed like bad choice - better the devil you know...

None of the sites I used could beat Mercedes own insurance quote

HTH

My wife's insurance on her smokey old Benz is up for renewal. Mercedes insurance quoted £977.42 where as Direct Line was £257.20. I guess it's horses for courses.

If they are well known names then you will be ok

Well if you are going to zoom around like you are an extra in Grand Theft Auto, what can you really expect?

Well if you are going to zoom around like you are Capo dei capi from MAFIA III, what can you really expect?

FTFY

[bobspud]

Well come on what did you expect?

You did have an accident in one of the most expensive cars on the market...

and then have gone and bought another one thats twice the size

Not envious at all

What kind of excess did you have for theft?

[stek]

Insurance £435 on my Maserati QP (yes, I went for it), if I'd kept it in Ireland, €1607. UK road tax, £235, IRL €1837

Plus you get to pay for road tolls but at least NCT (ie MOT) is every two years and only €55....

Theft of visual acuity is not a covered loss.
