My renewal just came through. I wonder if you can guess how much based on this:

R33 GTR Vspec
36 years old
8 years no claims (guaranteed)
NW London
Stage 1 mods
Theft claim in Sept 2005 (unrecovered)
Theft claim in July 2006 (recovered)

How much do you think?...............

kjansch · 29th October 2007, 06:51 PM

.........£3,790!

That's with guaranteed no cliams (Elephant.co.uk)

The best other quote I've had is from Priviledge, which was £2,199, but with a £1,150 excess and no protected no-claims.

Adrian Flux say they can't quote me at all!

Any suggestions would be very welcome...

That's pretty much bang on, if I don't want to protect my no claims. What do you think, should I pay the extra to protect the no-claims, or take a risk and go for a cheaper policy?

have you tried A-plan, i'm in East London and am only 29 and i pay £780 protected

must be the theft issue, perhaps see if they will lower premium if you fit more security?

It's already got a cat 1 and a tracker - I guess I could chain it to the ground when I'm not using it! (Seriously, I have considered it).

I'll try A Plan, thanks Mook.

Booty-licious · 29th October 2007, 07:16 PM

Protect your no claims...always!

Try A-Plan...Im with them...great deal. Okay mines not a GTR...but does have the supercharger on it and I pay around the £600. I have 7yrs and no convictions..

give them a whirl!

gtrjay · 29th October 2007, 10:19 PM

do you insure your car with the mafia?!?!? don't the germans use Euro's. lol

GBP is half the dollar value, so 1000usd is £500

Ropey · 29th October 2007, 10:52 PM

I didn't realise until the other day that if don't protect your no claims then you only lose two years if you have a claim.

So if you have 8 years NCB and you don't protect it you'll still have 6 years if you make 1 claim, and most companies have 5 years as the max no claims anyway. So why pay silly money to protect it?

Mookistar · 29th October 2007, 11:05 PM

AFAIK, 5 years is the max

if you've got "10 years" unprotected and claim, your no claims drops to 3 years

afaik

Good point, that sounds about right.
