rtbiscuit Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Insurance is due for renewal on 3rd of august so have just started ringing round. am currently with admiral who want £750 for renewal which ithink isn't great as its the same i paid as last year which means its gone up instead of down. i have tried both chris knotts and sky, but as i rang late today they had just closed shop for the day so will be re ringing them next week as every one has been very positive about them. so i did my usual of using confused, but must admit its turned abit rubbish, normally the cheapest online but was getting quotes of around £1000 so itried money supermarket and one of the quotes i got was for £585 from a company called 1st central i've never heard of first central and was wondering if anyone had had previous dealings with them or heard any good/bad feedback about them as this price was including mods. closest that adrian flux could get was £725 with like for like mod cover. am hoping sky and chris knotts will be good.

Ekona Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Rich, give Richard Egger a ring on Monday on 0115 985 0165, they were miles cheaper than everyone else for me (including all mods) and got 4 free trackdays a year thrown in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Try compare the market.com. they came up trumps for me. Swiftcover.com was by far the cheapest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 try checking with admiral as a fresh quote instead of a renewal. the renewals are there for lazy people who just take it so its free money. +1 - I've been with Admiral for about 3yrs now and always get a fresh quote. Then call them up and give them the online quote number and they will match or beat it. Thats what I've done at least twice now Also prices are going up at the moment as younger scroats are buying Zeds and crashing them! Thats the market for you, the more people that claim against Zeds, the more expensive they will get to insure and it will only get worse as they get cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 so your saying we need to buy and store all other zeds? and sell them only to people we deem "acceptable" good plan, i'll get my wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
