KrisRatcliffe Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just got off the phone to them as they are my current insurer. Said I'm looking to switch to a 350z in about a weeks time and they said there's no chance they can insure it. Reason being his boss has one and said it's the worst handling car he's ever driven and it's a handful. Really? Luckily enough I've received a decent quote from Adrian Flux so I'll be returning to them by the looks of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Try Sky Insurance, they're on here and are pretty competitive. They offer fantastic service too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisRatcliffe Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've tried Brentacre, Chris Knott, HIC, Prestige, Sky Insurance, Greenlight and Admiral. Only one to come close to AF's offer was Admiral and that was still a couple on hundred pounds more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Admiral are normally pretty good on Zeds, Maybe your current insurers boss should learn how to drive a Zed properly rather than criticizing it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 try Elephant, same group as Admiral, but were cheaper for me than Admiral were. Also with Sky, say that you're a member on here, I think they do a discount for forum members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisRatcliffe Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Will have to try elephant but I can't see it beating Flux's quote but worth a try. I tried with Sky and they couldn't get near it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Im with elephant, found them worth speaking to as they're underwritten by admiral so admiral will price match. Usually saves me £100 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmillions Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was with Greenlight before I got the zed and they said they wouldn't insure me as I hadn't a rwd car for 12months, it just sounds like excuses. As others have said try the traders listed/recommended, some will be competitive some won't just try them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Whats your driving experience and history like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Worst handling car? I know the zed isn't the best car ever made but it's definitely not the worst Also try A Plan. Worth mentioning any previous sports cars some take that into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said try the traders listed/recommended, some will be competitive some won't just try them all. Yeah a few places said the same to me about rwd experience. But it's not like I'm going from a 1.0 Corsa to a Zed Whats your driving experience and history like? 4 years experience, 4 years no claims, 23 years old, no points or driving bans, 1 non fault accident. Currently own a Stage 2 Astra GSi Turbo which I've had for the past 2 years. So it's not like I'm not use to the power or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not like I'm not use to the power or anything its not about the power tbh, its probably down to the fact you're used to driving fast fwd cars and powerful rwd cars can be a different ball game completely. Most of these specialists look for a year minimum or 25 years old before they'll insure u. One of the guys from up here sold a guy his zed who was used to 400hp evo's etc. Within a week or so the guy completely wrote the car off. Insurance specialist brokers take all this in as factors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Adrian Flux offered me £775 fully comp which I think is very good considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
