Totally blew away all previous quotes i had the lowest being 1254.73 for MY00 with Scoobysport system, OZ 17 alloys and filter. Greenlight were £851 !!

Really helpful and seemed to know thier stuff too .

They were the best for me as well (MY00 +magnex + 17's) + knew what they were talking about. Beat all except my existing insurer by £350+++ In the end stayed withe Catterall cos they matched the quote

Greenlight were the only ones under £1k for me... 27 year old, clean license, 5 year NCB, STi back box, ITG filter MY00 alloys on MY98 turbo wagon... £788

Well chuffed.

Hi, do you have the number for Greenlight they sound very competitive.
I'm paying £851 full ncd 29 with cat 1. No mods and the misses as a named driver (26)

 

Try

 

Sadly for me, Greenlight don't seem to appreciate my ten+ years of no accident driving, five of which are backed up with a letter from my previous insurers and zero points on my licence. This is because my current record is for driving a company car, and they want a <I>personal</I> no-claims history. Quote for a MY01, no-mods, decent post-code, over 40 years old = GBP1,700+!!

Shame! They seemed very clued up on the phone, but the underwriters put their foot down

mb

 

Yeah

they blew all quotes away that i had aswell 27 year old with missus on 23 year old no mods £820 on a 97 wagon highest i had was £3600 ouch

most chuffed

 

When I phoned up to insure my MY98 Terzo no mods, 30 yrs old full NCD + IAM advanced test + SIDC member + CAT1 alarm & immobiliser + Tracker they would`nt insure me as I`d just bought the car Why was that? its not like I`ve just passed my driving test in a metro & wear a baseball cap on back to front. They said phone back next year when you`ve got a bit of experience with the car!!! The cheek!!!

 

they also give you fully insured track-day cover if you've got a policy with them..about £60 for the day....

 

and they let you mod your car.....

 

Tried Greenlight after I got a quote for £650 from "Elephant" for my UK300. The guy was quite upfront said there was no way they could match that & doubted if I could get it better elsewhere. I nice not to get he "hard sell" so I'll remember that for next year.

Lee,

I can see where you're coming from but I can also see where Greenlight are coming from too. They have a very particular criteria you have to meet for them to insure you (they don't cover Jap imports either). This strict criteria comes from close scrutiny at the Impreza claims history which gives people who do fit a very good price .

I'm guessing that there is a higher than average claim rate for people who have had an Imprexa less than 1 year than those that have owned one more than 1 year.

I know it sucks , but next year you'll be in the position to take out insurance way below any other player in the market and then you won't complain

I think it's good they check out the drivers history of cars... stops people who aren't used to the power putting premiums up

I just got insured with them, and they asked quite a few questions about my previous car (E36 BMW M3) - after they had gone through that they were happy that I could be insured with them.... really knew their stuff and gave me an excellent quote

I see what you mean Matt, they did`nt ask about my previous cars that I had though, Golf GTI`s, RS turbos, Pug GTI`s etc which some companys did. Ah well, roll on the renewal date
