You find out how good your insurance is when you have to claim, you get what you pay for.

LV renewal £306. Gocompare showed LV at £287 so I called & got the same cover for £283, no haggle, no challenge. With hindsight I could probably have hung out for more but they didn't make it hard for me so...

Im just getting quotes in now.

most are coming in at around £380 for SDP + business, plus breakdown plus legal cover (but included windscreen, courtesy car)

one of the comparison sites I used called me up straight away to say they could offer me a better deal and put me through to Adrian Flux.

The guy on the phone returned after searching and very sheepishly said sorry we cant compete, cheapest is starting at £697 !!!!!!!! Shocked

So I think I may be giving LV+ a call and trying to haggle over phone..................

just renewed my insurance

ASDA (current insurer) came up with a renewal of £500 but had neglected to include the protected NCD and business use that was already on the policy (this figure includes legal, windscreen, courtesy car and national breakdown/recovery)

LV have just come in at £424 including all of the above, and includes uninsured driver, keys loss, plus a few other bits as standard.

so the main policy renewal comes in at around £320 for business use with 1 accident listed in 2013 (suicidal Bambi jumped out in front of me Laughing )

I have noticed that putting your wife on the policy reduces the premium. Also, there was a TV programme last night about car insurance and it pointed out how sensitive the price is to your stated profession. The lady showed the difference between TV Broadcaster and Journalist and it was over £1K. There was even a difference of about £30 between Teacher and Music Teacher (it's higher!) so worth searching the options carefully. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I've insured with LandRover insurance again, who is now underwritten by Allianz. My speeding SP30's are now dead and the cost was £267.00 Overseas cover has been extended for free from 60 days to 90 days whereas previously I had to pay an extra £40 for the privilege.

I used to be insured with Zurich £1100 they said you get what you pay for, I dont know if they meant youre getting done or what but reduced it down to £200 or so at the time going with RSA they said an insurance second to none, so that might mean youre getting nothing much too, its a bit of a minefield and I guess you never really know how good they are until you see how they perform in a claim situation and you have to crash your car to find that out?

I only have an ex wife if I was to put her on my policy, however she would probably bump my premium up by about £5k Laughing

I work in telecoms but the options are always engineer/manager/consultant. im officially an engineer, but office based however there is a difference in prices as an engineer is assumed to be out and about and so more of a risk. As I now work in change management I put my occupation as telecoms manager/consultant.

I was told my insurance would be higher because I'm an engineer, although I drive a company can during the day an not my van, apparently I'm more likely to be tired when driving my car... Neutral

England 2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Orkney Grey

Been with LV for a few years now and had a 2014 ASX when I renewed last years policy for £330. I just got my renewal through for my recently acquired 2012 HSE and they are quoting £515 ouch! They also have bumped the excess up from £200 to £350!

Looking around is torturous because half of the comparison websites don't pull the information through accurately and when you correct it the quotes jump up!
