What is your current car? How do they even define "performance".

Currently driving a mk4 golf having sold the fd2 last year, he didn’t seem to care that my previous cars had included evos, Subaru’s, a skyline, numerous type rs among other performance cars. They seem to define the performance on the BHP of your current car....he told me to give Adrian Flux a ring lol.
Isn't that the point - they are focussed on performance cars not all cars and have specialised underwriters for this reason?

I had the same conversation with them a few years ago, after having a short break from driving performance cars. I went with Adrian Flux for a year and then transferred back to Greenlight.
I didn't really mind as that's the logic behind their pricing. Similar to the not covering certain cars (BMW etc). If it helps to reduce risk and keeps prices lower for the longer term, then it can't be a bad thing for when you become a customer again

Yea but he was looking to get a quote for an Evo.
Valid. If they wouldn't quote for an Evo then they have an interesting take on performance. Even my wee polo gti qualified lol

Is an evo not a performance car? They could quote for an evo but couldn’t give me a quote as I was driving a mk4 golf as my current car.
See post above. Thought it was the golf.

They tried that on me too. I went from an 320hp impreza to a 170hp Leon. When I came back to a 330hp impreza they weren't having it. Luckily i had been insured with them the whole time and the Leon was only for a year and I was accepted.

Funny thing is, I was recommended to them by a friend of mine who was driving a mk4 golf and they insured him on a Mk6 gti, strange policy to have.

They have their reasons I suppose. Can't have people jumping from a 150hp car to a 300+ without some doubt in their minds that they'll be making a claim pretty soon. I'd consider PMing Tony and explaining previous car history (again)

@Tony@Greenlight does the £20k value limit still apply? It’s for a new Golf R.

Does seem a wee bit too good to be true, I’d still try and hold them to it mind

Just insured the evo 6 with Greenlight, quite a relief to finally have an insurer who doesn’t begin to foam at the mouth as soon as you mention things like coilovers and non standard exhaust lol
Cheers @Tony@Greenlight

Just rang up didn't even give my address or name or anything asked about hp for my mk2 golf and basically said take the other quote you got.
Really not sure how green light managed to do a quote without any of details that I assume you need aka address job where's it's sorted modifications or anything

Sounds like the same fella I got last year.
I don't think he's happy in his current line of work.
