Hi,

I'm looking to insure an import 1994 WRX.

Please can someone tell me if they have any experience of Keith Micheals insurance, as they have given me a half decent quote.

Any hidden clauses I need to know about?

What are they like when it comes to claims?

Thanks in advance,


Piers

I've used them for 2 years now, no probs - they're just brokers so the policy terms you get will be whatever the insurance underwriter provides.

They've cut their commission to secure my business the last couple of years - nice because it means my premiums are Tesco level yet the benefits are those of a proper, old-fashioned insurer (e.g. hire car etc). Go for it!

Been with them for a year now, with no problems. They gave me the best quote on my 95 WRX.

I got my best quote with them last year and if they can do me a good deal this year I'm staying. Luckily haven't had to test their claims service yet!

They were claiming that it's not worth getting the protected no claims bonus - 1 claim will only knock down NCB from 5 to 3 yrs with them.

[EDIT] Anyone agree / disagree?

Also 'protecting' presumably doesn't work when changing companies (If it should be necessary come renewal time), i.e. if you've had a claim under another company then you're fu**ed, whether or not it was protected.

Cool

Just started with them on 1st August so I'm not in a position to male any comments about the service yet, they did seem OK though and the actual insurer is Norwich Union.

Got my renewal notice over the weekend from KM and it is about £70 less than last year. 95WRX with SS BB, dump valve and a few minor cosmetic changes. Me is 26 years old, car kept on drive, cat1 alarm, no tracker needed! £848 for the year!!!

When I added the BB earlier in the year it was only an extra £26!

My contact is Steve Beard, 0208 642 7868.
