Default Insurance for Subaru Drivers

Hey Guys

My insurance is up soon and my renewal isnt that much cheaper considering I have another years no claims...

I'm paying £1500 on a 03 STI

If you dont mind please share what you guys pay and what age you are (or thereabouts)?? what car etc..

Thank you in advance

Give Gary Moulson a ring 0208 288 0275. The company is called Keith Michaels. Make sure you speak to Gary as he specialises in Scoobs. He should be able to sort you out.

I pay £550 all mods declared. 34 yrs old, loads of no-claims, 1995 WRX and I live in Dorset. I know of younger people with cheaper premiums than that (if only I had a garage!!).

Hey thats not bad at all,

I tried contacting them last time and was told I'd get a call back and never did

Tried after that with no luck...

A friend of mine on here is with them and he has had no problems so maybe it was just me bad luck.

Il give them a shout.

Cheers

Should have mentioned he is a very busy man. Keep trying, you will eventually get him and hopefully save some money. I think I tried about 6 times over the course of 2 days - but saved £200 so it was worth the effort

are you getting insistance on thatcham cat1 alarm, i had a quote and it insists on cat 1 or 2 alarm or immobiliser fitted by VISB intaller, my car is imported and has only the subaru immobiliser and this is not thatcham recognised, my current insurer does not require a thatcham approved system, the savings over a mainstream company is negated by the cost to have a cat1 fitted by VISB installer.

Greenlight - quoted me £700ish for a 2003 STI or £780 with PPP

Adrian Flux would not touch it unless I had owned the car for a year...and Tesco just said a flat NO !!!

I am 38 9 years NCB - but sh*t postcode in basildon and car would left on road over night

Not actually bought one yet still on the look out..

Hope this helps..

you don't have to say if you have or have not a cat1 alarm, just if the insurer asked for it
