Insurance - I don't believe this!

[sholao]

Just called my Insurers Churchill to inform them that I had my exhaust changed, and they told me they can no longer cover me because it increases the performance!

I now have untill midnight tommorow (initially she said tonight) to find another insurer!

Any ideas?

Try Direct Line - much more reasonable (and cheaper) than Churchill.

I'm with Equity Red Star but nearly as cheap were Direct Line, Tesco and Lexus. Mind you the only mods I have are the fog lights and painted calipers...

Also give Privilege a ring I found then the best for me hears the number 0845 246 8555,,,Good luck

Also try www.elephant.co.uk - they knocked off nearly £500 of the next cheapest quote. The only thing is you can't pay in installments, it's all up front.

Esure saved me £500 on my last car, and then knocked another £100 off when I bought my IS!! They're on the web (online quotes) though you may have to speak to someone about the exhaust.

Which reminds me, I must let them know about the skirts and the grill :D

Take care - Privilege (that I used for many years) are now owned by Direct Line.

- They no longer offer curtosy cars when yours is off the road.

Tesco do though......;)

direct line worked for me.. however.. the trick is when they ask how much was your last quote just give them bull... i saved £500 by knocking 400 off my last quote...

I bet when my insurance comes around it will be £500 more expensive!

[Chris.S]

www.esure.com have just quoted me £481 if I lower my car which is cheaper than last year

Very strange

I have just renewed my Insurance, it came down to a toss up between Direct Line (cheapest) and Admiral ( loan car and for a small extra Premium a hire car so that if the car is for example stolen they will keep you on the road).

I went for Direct Line in the end as a loan car was not so important as I have the use of a second car if needs be and I am sure if the car is badly damaged Lexus might be persuaded to lend you a car whilst it was repairing your own, but I guess a lot would depend on your relationship with your dealer. I am sure thius is not guaranteed. If it is a 100% non fault accident then you can claim hire charges against the responsible party ( yes you guessed ,sounds like Lawyer talk, thats cause I am!!)

I didnt think Tescos provided a loan car whilst they repaired yours but I could be wrong. In the end Tesco was only £10 cheaper that Direct Line who were £40 cheaper than Admiral so I went in the middle. Thats really scientific isnt it!!

Has anyone got the number for Liverpool and Victoria?

I don't know which town they are in, so BT enquiries is no good, and dont have yellow pages here.

It looks like I might have to go with Elephant.

Directline - about £900

Privildge, Esure will not cover my exhaust

Admiral over £1000

I need to move out of London!

[JOHNNY-BOY]

Try insure.co.uk, they can be very good on price.

Thanks for the replies, in the end I went with the elephant.
