cheers man...u dnt knw if elephant online is good? they always giv cheap qoutes but duno seems 2 good...if ya get me

 

[Graham2]

dont even need to search, its stickied to the top the forum u posted this in. there are no magic insurers that are always cheap, you need to phone around and see whos best for you

if you get a good quote, no matter who its from, snap it up, it may not last. As for elephant, they're very good, well have been to me.

 

[ChrisL]

did you buy online??? cuz ther qoutes online dnt match up wen you fone???

 

[Sir Sax]

i phoned at the time, but had checked online beforehand, was the same from memory. If your having problems that way, check online and save your quote, then phone and see whats cheapest. Perfectly ok to do that. Though on phone you have a chance of getting discount, girl knocked off an extra £50 with a little persuasion, all adds up.

orite m8...wel iv had da best qoute from them so far, cheers for all your help...il fone up n check wit dem n c wat they say...r they tough on modded cars?

 

[Sir Sax]

i wouldn't say they're tough at all, light mods don't even register on the £. Different people, different ages etc might play a part though, so can't speak for anyone else.

 

[ChrisL]

dats ok il check that out 2m...cheers m8 4 all your help fink elephant are the cheapest il get...

Yellow pages ring em all they all change rates every 30days so somebody could say 'go to ....' but that was over 30days and the rates have changed to now......

My insurance last year was £2285 with Quinn Direct from Dublin. I phoned about 20 companies and that was the cheapest quote I got for my 1.25 16v fiesta. Telephone number is 0800 587 8000. They allow you three modifications aswell but just don't tell them about the rest lol.

That would be a factor but what is the postcode of the place you are staying? If it is deemed as a high risk area then they automatically put the insurance higher. Unfortunately that's the way these *******s work!

 

[Harry]

Err.. I dont think you can just give people ncb ya know.
Unless you mean your going to be insured under her name.

 

[ChrisL]

Na im gettin insured under her name cnt afford to go out on my own with being at uni n all...she has another car so shes transfering dem onto my new car with her as main driver...qoutes still cumin in pretty steep...fink itz cz il b drivin it da most...if any1 knws a solution cz im hearin bout dese ppl onli payin £800 n £600 4 insurance under der folks....
