I went with A-Plan also

As far as i know they dont do an Instant - internet quote but the thatcham branch does home the subaru specialist side of the business, maybe worth giving them a ring flopsy, theyre under subaru heading on aplan website

Cheers

Wow that is low mate.

I used Admiral Rich. Around £500 if I remember. A plan were nowhere near and I have 5+ yrs no claims and no points. Responsible person that I am.

Was the confused.com and admiral's quote's declaring all of the mods???

As they seem quite low compared with my renewal, I'm with A Plan and mine is £875 with three years NCB, 3 points and claim three years ago. But all of my mods are declared.

Thats interesting £220 off by advising of admiral's quote, I'll have to try that next year.

The confused.com quote of £824 was with Admiral and with NO mods. The A-Plan quote (Thatcham) is also excluding any mods because my car is totally standard apart from my Momo gear **** ...........

The quote from A Plan including any "future mods" I may decide to fit, was £1049.

He did say that once the policy is running. it's often quite a bit cheaper to add mods to the existing insurance policy, than it is to have the mods "fitted" before taking out the policy.

Therefore I may change my standard wheels, exhaust, springs at some point in the future.

Chris - the number for A-Plan (Thatcham) is 01635 874646
