What a funny morning

[guest24]

My car insurance renewal from Direct Line arrived this morning quoting £300 for the Previa. Egad, I thought, that is crazy. So off to comparethemarket I went & did the business. Here is the funny bit, the quotes have come in cheaper if I choose fully comprehensive insurance rather then TPFT!    How does that work? I renewed the bike insurance earlier this month and dropping to TPFT saved a fortune. So why is it reversed for a car?

Not sure if this thread should be in rants, humour, or is correctly placed in chatter?

Copy and paste it in the other two as well. That way you won't offend anyone and we can have a laugh about it.

Odd that. When I renewed my insurence on the XBR last year with Bennets I found it only cost me about £7-8 more for fully comp than TPFT! Car too as i recall.  In the past I've found that, say, Bennetts will give you a good quote for new business but after a couple of years it creeps up so if you then go to, say, Carol Nash they will greatly undercut them for the new business! Hence I change companies every couple of years!

That game has got silly. I change every year now, it's usually at least £30 worth of new customer discount which on a £150 policy is mad.

How much are you lot paying on insurance?
I've had my licence 10 months and I'm on £260 for my XJ600 Diversion and £51 for the XBR500 TPFT through Simply Insurance. The XJ600 was insured on a chassis number as it was on Italian plates when I bought it.

I was paying £266 with Carole Nash for a multibike policy. I recently had a quote for basic fully comp on an XBR for £76.

£56 TPFT for an MT-03 in Souff Lundon via Bennetts. I let my previous policy expire with Bennetts and then took out a "new business" one with them over the internet. By far the cheapest way to do that.

Some insurance companies quoted £70 for a new policy for the SRX with zero no claims
