Just got my new scoob and done all the insurance leg work, cheapest for me (25 full ncd clean license) was Bennetts Elite. Haggled over £300 (!) off their original quote. My advice get your best quote, phone Bennetts and get them to beat it.

Be sure you sound them out re mods should you be considering this at later date . Many run a mile .

Just changed insurers myself recently for this reason. FWIW best for self was Admiral . MY97 Prodrive PP, DEP , 16in wheels - £525 (protected NCB extra)

The common theme with NFU (ie, I looked at other posts) is that its good for the 'oldies' amongst us rather than us dashing youngsters with the loose women and the fast cars

I'm an NFU'er too!
Like to think I'm the "mature" type!
No increase in premium for slight mods.
£100 increase in excess for speeding disqualification.
Steve
see you at Santa Pod all.

Talking

Steve,
I too am only 4 weeks away from my scooby and I know what you mean about the sleepless nights!
I've rung over 38 companies / brokers this week and the results have been interesting to say the least. Thought I'd try Admiral first as they seem to be popular here, but got some argumentative tos#*r, not a great start, besides they were over £300 off the mark! Give Quoteline Direct a call (they advertise in CAR and EVO I think) as they beat everyone with £495 protected for me 32yrs 5yrs NCB with the wife 27yrs on as well, mods not a problem. The policy is through AXA and it seems they have a special deal with them that other brokers can't match. Noone else even came close inc. all the above.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
Iain.
