Laura Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, so I've been reeeeallllly lucky so far. Traders policy since I passed my test as co-own a garage with my Dad. My part is in name only, Idon't actually do anything except get free insurance. This was obviously a part of my Supra buying decision. (3 accidents all my fault! ) So I go for dinner with Dad on Wednesday and he tells me he's packing it in and I have until October 10th to get my own! Help! Any great cheap insurance co's around? Best so far is about £750... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 you're doing pretty good at that price, Laura i'm afraid. especially with three accidents. who was it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Help! Any great cheap insurance co's around? Best so far is about £750... How old are you Laura? Im 26, drive a mildly modified Supra, have 6 years NCB, and no accidents or convictions and i pay £600 fully comp In view of your 3 accidents, £750 aint bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks guys, I'm 26. It was with a company called Lancaster something. Try confused.com, they found it for me, really easy/quick site to use. Didn't expect any less, just looking for a minor miracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 yeah, Lancaster are pretty good so i've heard Laura. Have you tried Sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Lancaster are used by quite a few and have a good reputation. Have you also tried the club insurer - Sky? £750 sounds about right though, the 3 accidents won't be helping! Edit - beaten by Supra man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thats a pretty good quote. If you havent tried already, try A -Plan (Thatcham branch). My wife has just gone with them and they were a bit cheaper than Lancaster. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a car on ebay you get free 7 days insurance cover. I just phoned them up and told them i bought the car from ebay(although i didn't), gave them the chassis number and they sent me my cover note. That was a few weeks back on my mrs' FTO:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 bloody hell didnt think about that one , but if you buy a car its most likely to be from UK and that comes with a number plate anyway, are they thick or something or just wanna be nice to ebayers? if that works then I should remember that for when Im importing my next car ? not anytime soon though while I got the supy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupra Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm with A-Plan, they gave me the best deal out of the insurance companies I tried, I never knew about Sky untill I joined here, so never got a qoute from them. Like the other guys have said, £750 doesn't sound to bad considering your prangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Im 23(24 in novemeber) 5years ncb and pay £800 with Bell Direct, I found them much cheaper than elephant, They wanted £1100 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have the feeling that if I was in your situation I'd be paying a damn site more than £750 (being male). My current policy was £900 with sky on a BPU Supra, 25 with 2 years NCB and 2 claims (one break-in and one partial fault accident). £750 sounds good considering you have 3 claims to your name.
