mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Just called Brentacre to get a quote on the VR when my renewal's up in a month's time. I was expecting a massive hit considering the spec of the car and the fact that Tesco charged me £800 last year on a 'standard' VR !dodge Spec:*Schrick Inlet Manifold*Schrick Cams*Milltek Exhaust*Ramair*Koni Coilovers*BBS RC's*Soon to be fitted ZR2 ChargerThe guy took all of the above into account including the fitting of the charger, my NCD of 5years and my 3 points..........and came up with a Fully Comp Premium with protected NCD of........ £734.70 I thought that was superb!Top job, well chuffed with that Link to post Share on other sites
anorak 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Mine's up for renewal in a couple of weeks time.If you don't mind me asking Minty, what age group are you?(under 25, 25-30 or an old git like me )I'll give them a buzz seeing as we've got virtually the same spec.

BigSi 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I couldn't get through to Brentacre when I was doing mine at the begining of this month.Best quote was from Adrian Flux £498 with NCD protected - I was well chuffed.(I'm 28 with 7 years NCD - although the max discount they count is 5).Mods declared - although it hasn't got much done yet, just front brakes up-rated really.But it's on a modified cover & I got the impression that I could do a lot more without the premium going up! Just have to pay £15 for admin costs, everytime you update the policy. Link to post Share on other sites

anorak 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Does anyone else over 30 own a VR6?You can't all be driving Volvo estates (and not V70R's ).On the plus side to being an old giffer I've just finished the yearly frantic insurance company phone-a-thon and been astounded (really).Brentacre (cheers Minty) came out 2nd best in the end (£650) with Tesco wanting a laughable £1953. A Plan were about the same as Brentacre but I went to HIC last and with all mods declared (ok, I said I wasn't sure of exact power output ) I've got comp cover for me and the trouble for £486 !amazed Includes trackdays too if I get a fire extinguisher!? (As if you're more likely to set your car on fire than stuff it into a barrier).HIC rock - love 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I'm 21 with all mods declared and 4 points for a speeding offence and I got quoted £1000 fully comp with 3 years NCB, but that'll be going up to 4 years at the start of January when my policy is up for renewal so hopefully it'll be coming down a big chunk.

mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Just rang HIC, and they can't get close to the quote from Brentacre, HIC quoted £1,090. Link to post Share on other sites
anorak 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Just had a call back from A Plan to say they have lowered their quote to £550. (Got an auction for my business going on!)The guy did say that some insurance companies are better than others for different locations. Might explain why HIC are cheapest for me and Brentacre for you Minty.Big difference though. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Just transferred my VR to Adrian Flux from Greenlight for just over £500 with 5 years NCB.Also what makes a difference to the quotes are the different deals that the insurance deals that the insurance companies set up with the brokers. We found this out when getting quotes from Greenlight and Adrian Flux both from Highway (which HIC also use) and the quotes varied massively. Link to post Share on other sites
