Can anyone advise of any Scooby friendly companies (with contact numbers), as my mate has had quotes from Chrurchill (his existing insurer) from £500 for a standard UK car to £1400 for an RB5 (which THEY rate as Grp 20 - higher even than a 22B!).

Many thanks

Mike,

I'm with A-Plan (don't have the No. to hand, sorry). They have been very competitive for many Scoobynetters. To give you an idea, i'm paying just shy of a grand for a MY99 STi V TypeR V-Limited with minor declared mods. I'm 28! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Cheers
Chris.

£500 for a UK Impreza, and your point is ?

I am obviously being screwed then as mine is currently £100 shy of five times that.

Give Barclays a try .

DJB 28 October 2000 11:01 AM

I've found Bell Direct to be cheaper than most. They have a sophisticated on-line quote system which can supply quotes for modified cars as well.

Try

Mick 28 October 2000 12:09 PM

try NU Direct - mileage makes a difference

Mick

schuey 28 October 2000 12:15 PM

How old is your friend? If over 30 then NFU Mutual is it for the more rural areas http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Number to be found under a search of UK Insurance <B>NFU Karen</B>

Don't bother if under 30...

chrisp 28 October 2000 01:21 PM

Mike,

I am trying to insure an RA at the moment and its an absolute nightmare http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif.

Try Rum as has already been suggested as he knows his scoobies and was very helpful.

I tried Adrian Flux but everytime I rang I spent 10 minutes on hold so I gave up http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif.

The best quote I have so far is with A-Plan who are £400 cheaper than any other quote. They are definitely worth a ring.

Hope this helps,

Chrisp

GaryC 28 October 2000 01:35 PM

OPI were cheapest for me by 40% this year

Gary-Impreza-Suffolk 28 October 2000 09:47 PM

Hi
age 25, 6 years NCB protected, cat 1 alarm, 1 SP30 this year, Brand New Turbo UK Standard, £733 with AXA after you bump up the excess to £375. Price may alter due to post coad!

scoob2273 29 October 2000 01:16 PM

Try calling Luke @ Insure Direct on 0800 1975000 - they specialise in imports too. I must have called 20 + different ones, and they're all f***g rip off merchants, but Luke came up with a decent quote.

Mike Rainbird 30 October 2000 12:04 AM

Thanks for all you help. Have printed this off and will pass on. Rum, if you get a call from a chap called Paul Downes - that's him....!
Best regards
Mike R

Rum* 30 October 2000 01:05 PM

Ok Mike...will try and assist
