Been looking into buying Sideways RB5 WR sport, and have been amazed at the different quotes I been getting, and the fact that some companies don't even list the WR sport.

I'm 32, live in Yate, Bristol been driving for 15 years and have full no claims (65 %) Need to use the car for Business, to get to and from my place of work, but won't be carry tools, etc. The company will pay me a cash allowance

Christian at Keith Michaels did know his stuff, and couldn't get it lower than £1000 Told him that direct line quoted £604 for a Pro-drive car RB5 (that how they list the WR sport) and he immediately said that with a tracker. They didn't mention it.... Phoned them back, and they said "oh yes that's correct otherwise you won't be covered fot thefts" Just as well, I asked the question isn't it?? What else should I be asking ? Like is it cover if someone crashes into me ??

Now the RB5 WR sport is standard apart from the Scoobysports full system Sideways insured the car with Chris Knot, who according to Sideways does know his stuff. I did phone them at 4:50 pm (on Friday) and they said they were too busy to quote WTF!!! Thought that was very rude.... Hill House hammond can't get it under a grand!!!

I'm so fed up at the moment, that I beginning to think that it's just not worth all the hassle !!! Can anyone recommend someone and supply the numbers ? oh and I've lost Chris Knots number

Phill,

I too need business cover for my car and also do circa 30k pa - try A-Plan in Bath (0800 050505) - I've been with them for 2 years and have always been the most competitive by far (me, 26, MY00 UK, 5yr protected NCB, £900). They do not require a tracker.

Also, if you do pay in full, I think Egg have got an offer on at the moment, that if you use their credit card, they give you 10% discount!

Hope this helps,

Mark.
