Ive been reading the posts and you guys are really getting some good deals......so i rang for a quote......
Now i dont have a rex yet and i told them this but i did give a reg no of a car i like on Pistonheads.... its on at 6700 but after talking on the phone to them i think i can get it for 6200....anyway the insurance....
I told Pete Best as much as i could about the car.... bearing in mind
Im female 40 years young never done nothing not even points... been driving 21 years. Had a rex before....sold it in 2006.
333.16 insured for 3000 miles a year fully comp..... now until i read your posts on here i thought that was pretty good......
How the hell do you get insurance for 200 to 250.......
Is it a fair price or am i getting a not so good deal?
dont know about you - but mines insured as a classic as a second car with limited milage of about 1500 per annum
to be honest - i still think 333 is a steal ( esp for a group 20 car ! )
I wouldn\'t complain to much about £100 some of us are playing 4 or 5 times what you\'ve been quoted.
As for the difference in price could be your post code or any other little detail.
renewals are cheaper with the best :) my wife paid 350 1st year and now 180-200 now
dc
ohhh i like that :D :D
roll on renewal time ... lets see if they can get it less than the 175 i pay now :D
330 is better than I got from Aon/Footman James on a second car/classic policy and I\'m not exactly a high risk profile any more. I\'ll be interested to see if the renewal is less.
try sky insurance. they gave me a good deal (speak to olly). i added my gf to the policy and it came out cheaper than just me.
my renewl is up within the next week or 2. hope the price drops from £500 to 1/2 :p
all mods decared and was 3k miles limit. cant remember if it was classic policy or not =/
Hiya yeah like i said i thought it was good until i started reading posts... ( too nosey for my own good) lol
Like someone said i do believe it goes on post codes.
Yeah ive seen a few posts about sky insurance, ill give them a buzz it wont hurt anything.
You know with pete best is it the norm for them to ask for photos of the car? and a mileage reading. I have never had classic insurance before so i dont really know what the norm is.
the postcode bit is true, they count it based on the numbers in the 1st half of the postcode i believe.
(hence i insure it at parents place (XX16) as opposed to my gals place (XX3)
some classic policies can not earn NCB.
The photo bit is not unusual for classic policies. Some expect or accept a valuation (available through the club) as evidence of value and, unless things have changed, others will demand a full engineer\'s report which is not that cheap!
The mileage requirement is universal on classic policies that limit annual mileage as a second \'classic\' car. Not unreasonably, they want to know what it is at the beginning of the period of cover. You can often extend it for payment of an extra premium if you find you are using up the 3000 or 5000 limit agreed on when you took the policy out.
we didnt get any of this for our fd??
must be new for them
dc
Insured the FC with PB seems pretty fair to me.
Having said that I must tick all the right boxes. 59 years old, 7 years no claim, third car on classic Policy.
£100 excess
5000 miles [will not increase]
Agreed value
Breakdown cover.
£227, fully comp of course.
Pleasant ppl to deal with.
mine is limited to 1500 miles and no breakdown ( i have AA cover ) - so thats prob why mine is sub £200
Does PB get the MRC seal of approval then? :P
hummm not overly sure .. at the end of the day - we really need someone who has claimed from them .. they are all happy to take the money - but what are they like at paying it back ?
Quote from: trotter;670276Does PB get the MRC seal of approval then? :P
does from me T - halved my premium,classic car (which she is of course LOL ),think i got 6000 miles will have to check
same here Pete, everything including Europe wide breakdown for £290 or so.
Guess the real proof will be how they handle claims.....
mine with PB is 178 a year. im 31 listed all mods and about 350 hp :-)...
i live in quiet hr4 post code though :-).
nothing happpens here ever lol
Well i just rang sky insurance and there were 350 excess and 500 a year. Told them thanx but no thanx.
Im gonna ring PB again and see if they can do anything with my quote after seeing 178 for the year...... Where i live the houses have only been built 5 years... nothing happens here....i never see no one............. tell a lie .....i see the bin men once a week lol
Hi all.
I was appointed the Manager of Maldon Branch of Peter Best Insurance on jan 4th.
If anyone needs a quote or just wants some information regarding insurance issues just give me a ring here and you WILL get a personal service.
Thats Greg (Branch manager) on 01621 840400
No obligation whatsoever!
cheers
hey greg - i just wanted to double check... do i still get NCB with my classic policy?
no, you don\'t!
It\'s not taken into account on quote either!
You get two years to get back on a \'normal\' policy otherwise you forfeit the NCB :(
I\'ve been quoted £422 by PB, agreed value and all that jazz - quite reasonable since I\'ve been collecting points at a fair old rate recently :D
Hey guys,
Im completly new to insuring a sports car, and the best qoute i had so far was £750.
ive got 4 years ncb and im 24, what are the paramaters for insuring with PB? Might be worth taking a look :D
insuring 192 rx8 btw

The route we\'ve went down is for insuring under a classic policy. For PB, the car must be over 16years old.
Give them a buzz for the \'8 though, and see if they can offer anything. Ask to speak to April, she\'s been helpful to loads of peeps on here.

The online quotes are cheaper than phoning :confused::eek::2Confused the phone quote cannot match the online deals they won\'t even try...use the internet and bet it is much cheaper :Thumbs-up
