Brilliant Insurance Quotes

[Matt.Wild]

Just had two brilliant quotes today (bearing in mind i\'m going to be 24 when I get it with 5 years NCB).

One on classic insurance, one on standard insurance.

Classicwise, via Houghtons  i\'ve been quoted £360 if its kept garaged or £425 if its kept off the road with only £375 excess

On standard insurance I, via Insurance Factory I was quoted £940 fully comp plus £300 excess and the ability to drive any other car I like 3rd party.  Seemed pretty much the very best prices possible (Flux, HIC Sureterm etc wanted £1500 +!).

Just thought some of the younger members would be interested :cool

They are excellent quotes mate. I\'m the same as you, 24, 5 years NCB but was told by Houghtons that they wouldn\'t insure on classic policy till I was 25.

what is it with inurance companies and completely different answers depending on the member of staff who answers the phone. I\'ve shelled out £1300 FC through Adrian Flux with £800 excess and limited to 5000 miles.

Is the classic policy mileage limited? What do they value the car at?

cheers

Yep i\'m 24 and with Chaucer through Haughton and the quote they gave me was much cheaper than all the other 2 :rolleyes: companies I could of used being younger than 25 and they seem good so far.  Hopefully when I come to renew at 25, the car will also be over 10years old so should be able to get classic (i.e cheap) insurance, excellent:bandit

Cheers, Paul:)

Sorry, its going to be stock for the 1st year of its time with me till I hit 25.  Mind you, i\'m gonna have a word with them to see if mods can be done without much effect as i\'m interested in a cat back zorst (leaving that cat in place, restrictive I know ) and maybe a aftermarket Mazdaspeed front bumper and side skits but if that doubles the price, I can wait

Thanks for the Advice on calling Houghtons.

I Spoke to a guy called Richard Smail ( very very helpful), he passed on my details to a specialist underwriter.

Ive been quoted £358.80 and £100.00 excess on a 94 Type R.
Fantastic quote and very helpful people.



Definetly give them a call and see what they can do.

This Guy Richard said he has been getting a lot of calls about Rotaries so i told him Houghton are all over this site.

He said they could do some mods too?

Cheers

Maybe it also depends on your postcode/area?

They actually said to me "We may struggle to get them to quote since you are 24, but we will try".   A few hours later they rang back with the above quotes.

The only proviso was park it off the road or in a garage
