trying to get a good quote - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

trying to get a good quote for my dad to be insured on the skyline r33 gtst, born in 1970, 3 years no claims, car is garaged cat 1 alarm, little mods such as alloys etc, doesnt own another car but drives others, looking for third party fire and theft

why is it so difficult to get a quote at that age? I tried AON or something but they require him to own another car, adrian flux is quoting for over 2 grand which is just ridiculous

I used Adrian Flux years back but would not insure a paper bag with them now had more than 1 bad experience with them.... useless.
Could be cheeky and try the gocompare.com or that type of site see who gives the best quote then go directly to the site that gave you the best quote. That is what i did and got my insurance down from 826 last year to 644 this year, well chuffed with that. Give it a go mate.

try flux though, i used them for a while although not made a cliam they seemed good to me, dad had trouble explaning some stuff to them though when he set up his policy.
im with premium choice now, were more competitive than flux and a plan etc. also in insurance thread there is greenlight to try.

Ive tried some of the numbers on that list, and all they do is if the quote is high the put me in call connection and that really takes the piss, just going around in circles

greenlight wont insure cause of the postcode

Odd. I'm the same age, Have a 400 BHP GTR and 7 years NCB. £560ish with A-plan.

Personally, I would try Flux, lifesure, sky and A-plan - I've never found anyone who bettered the lowest quote of those four for a specialist vehicle. Some people have had good deals from Greenline, but I found them very limited in scope and not at all helpful. Big insurance search/comparison sites are useless for a modified skyline, so don;t waste time with them.

If your postcode is a problem, then it may be worth speaking to a local broker who might have a few special deals..
