SharanTDICarat Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 I know what your thinking... why is this in the Customising section ?? well I have just got my renewal in and it has gone up quite alot renewal is coming in at GBP 881.00 "because of my mod's" ( which are only wheels and window tints.)So I have been phoning around and I seem to be getting the cold sholder from the main insurance companies. So to any of you guy with modded Sharan's Galaxys & Alhambras, can you recomend a good insurance company. cheersTAM Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 We used confused.com fill in one form and they did all the rest, I declared ALL the mods! alloys, tinted glass, suspension, LPG, DVD, CD exhaust............. a few firms wouldnt touch us mainly due to the points on our licenses but a few would, in the end we went with Diamond :o well after all it is HER car :lol: Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Have you tried Sainsburys (e-sure) or Tesco insurance? Quote

Guest vr6galaxy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Mine is 30% so I ticked the <30% box :lol: Quote
SharanTDICarat Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Posted April 8, 2005 Mine is 30% so I ticked the <30% box :lol: They look awfully darker than 30% my fronts have a 25% film added and a 50% film added to the rear, which is not that dark, and no where near as dark as some of the boy racers I've seen. But it is the rears that seem to be causing the probs , personally I don't think they (Ins) now what they are doing when it come to this.TAM Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 They look awfully darker than 30% Mine are only UV reflective on the front two and darkened on the rear five, mine were done just before the regs changed so the installer would only tint to the new incomeing regs so as not cause any problems in the future! mind you the way they are going it will soon be against the law to fart in the privacey of your own car yet alone alter it in any way :lol: Quote

Masked Marauder Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society, use the web site for a quick quote, but ring them up to buy. If you are a trade union member tell them, they may give a discount. I get 15% for being in the T&GWU. I am 40, I have full no-claims discount, am insured fully comp with business use and with my girlfriend on the cover too (she is 32.) Excess is Quote
SharanTDICarat Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Posted April 9, 2005 Well so far I have managed to get the quote down to GBP 460 with the mods :lol: throught Diamond (well wifey is the main driver as I got the van) Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 Good result, see all those years of cross dressing has finally come to good use :lol: and they took the mickey out of you for wearing a skirt (kilt) :o Quote
iainkirk Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 www.liverpoolvictoria.co.uk Very flexible when it comes to mods and points etc. Good prices, escpecially if you need Class 1 business use or high mileage. Forgot to add, they do Protected No Claims discount and also GUARANTEED no claims discount. The latter costs you Quote

Guest harley Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Hey I know this looks like a plug, but as one member to another, give my company a call. We're Chris Knott Insurance and we may be able to help. I'm in marketing rather than quoting but I'm pretty sure we'd be able to have a look at it for you. TelNo is 0800 917 2274 if you are interested.
