Well today I got my renewal thro the post. Just to get my weekend started it's went up 900 pound, how is this possible? Nothing on the policy has changed, was Payin 870 a year from November 2010 until next week, and now my quotes 1760, even tho am now a year older and have 3 years no claims, phoned them (Quinn direct) up and they basically said that's the price pay it or go elsewhere, but I just dunno how it's possible? Ps it's only a ej9
 
Jesus that's quite a hike in price man maybe see if you can cut some extras on your policy if you have them on your policy or if you have fully comp get a quote for third party fire and theft or just standard third party or just shop around this may be your best bet man it a load of s**t to be honest makes me start to think of my renewal quote when mine is due god knows what ill get myself for a quote
 
try somebody else i was with tesco for years and they have started underwriting themselves and no longer insure jap imports i was paying £700 fully comp on a r33 gtr they wanted to charge me £2000 for my ek9 through one of their jap specialist companies :angry:
 
wtf! Im dreading my renewal now man :( get on the phone to Admiral, they were the only people who would even have a reasonable price for my ej9. I was 19 had 1 years ncb and put alloys, suspension and exhaust on the policy cost £900
hope you get it sorted buddy
 
Quinn Direct in Scotland are a nightmare..wanted 2.4k from me on an EJ9 last year..admiral was only £900 and 1300 on an EK4 / 1700 on a 9.

Definitely worth changing mate, its funny how they claim they support young drivers haha. But £900 increase is just crazy.
 
some companies just start putting the price up to get rid of what they consider "high risk" drivers aka young drivers etc has happened to me before
 
I hope sky insurance don't do this to me, as no one else will touch me on the 9 for the money i am paying now. insurance sucks!
 
Fortunately my renewal this year turned out to be exactly the same as I was paying last year so I'm in a good position :win:
 
Thats ridiculous man! I wouldnt pay that much! Argue or switch company!

Mine went down 600euro this year so i was very happy!
 
Na thats a joke dont entertain them mate, give admiral/elephant a try.
Stick your details into moneysupermarket and see what quotes you get, admiral will be at the top with the best quote :nice:
 
Quinn Direct are FOOK'D! I'd get a policty with someone else asap, now's the perfect time as your's is up for renewal! ring around and you will find a better price eventually!
 
thats a complete joke mate, as said insuracne companies nowadays are trying to cover there own backs i could have understood if u had gone out and bought an ek9, but en ej and they want £1700 odds no chance lol
 
Thats shocking , give admiral a shout. They seem to have there heads screw on.
 
i usually use comparethemarket and admiral/bell/elephant always come up the cheapest there all owned by admiral
 
Just had mine though as well
no where near as stupid as yours but they didnt take any money off and it was only 3rd party, so went on a comparison and found it for 100 cheaper and fully comp
That was hastings :)
 
thats funny! im 22 4years no claims and my INS with quinn direct went down 250 this year to 750 3rd party F and T, on an EM1 vti
 
as said shop around,no companys stick to previous years quotes it seems now just to see if you are daft enough to pay the increase.

last year elephant/admiral told me that best quote,phoned around and got cheaper,went back to them and they beat the quote!

i said why could you not have done that from the start?..."its to encourage you to shop around" what a load of crap :blabla:

also try companys that are not on comparison sites as not all are on there due to the fee they have to pay them.
 
F.F.S. that's crazy. I was £1400 last year and it came down to £940 this year with 1 yr ncb on a ek4.
That's with elephant.
