I've just had such a surprise, that I'm not sure that I believe my eyes.
Up until last renewal of the GT, I'd used a broker that we'd used for years. Last August's renewal was astronomical, over £1,000.
Thanks to perceived recommendation on here, I gave Admiral a go, and they came in about £750.
When we moved (from a satellite village near Cirencester, to a sleepy hollow of 50 souls) in October, the premium went up on the remaining two cars with the broker. BMW due for a renewal, so I gave Admiral a multicar jobby.
So:-
FIAT 500, 4,500 miles run about Excess £200
BMW X1 9,000 miles wife's thing Excess £200
Maserati Granturismo 4.2 8,000 miles excess £350
.... all probably over egged, both retired, and the Maser I've included another 3,500 mile European as last year.
I've just bost 65, wife 75 in Autumn.
We're clean.
Total annual insurance last year for the three was £1,450
The quote that I have from Admiral (pro-ratered the part years for the two cars to full years) works out as an annual cost of £577.
I don't believe it.
The cost alone of the Maserati GT last year with them was £740 alone:
It breaks down:-
FIAT 500 £67.75 (pro-rata to 12 months = = £102, compared to £230 previous)
BMW X1 £187 for 12 months (cf £532 quoted with current insurer)
Maserait GT 4.2 £185 (pro-ratered to 12 months = = £288)
The quote for all three is less than the quote for the Maser alone last year.
I don't believe it.
From fellow's experience, where are the catches? I'd be happy with a much higher premium rather than get a 'Bu$$er off, you're not covered' in the remote event of a claim.
I'm off to AIB's site now, to see what our sponsors can offer.
Astonishing, or am I going to had as a mug?
