If that is LV watch them as they insist on a tracker being fitted (or at least did for me)

Caught me! ;-) Yeah they did but the car already had it fitted so add 140 quid for a years subscription to that. Still no bad in my book though! :-)

Best quote I had received was over £1100 with a £1100 excess. This was £200 less than my renewal.

Adrian Flux have managed to get it for £910 with £500 excess. I would have increased the excess to bring the premium down further but that was the max they would do.
Did you give Sky Insurance a try?

Admiral multicar for those of you with more than one car in the house is the way to go. Just swapped from MoreTh>n and managed to get my RS and my diesel commute car insured for less than the RS on its own, saved over £700 or in % terms 60%. Same excess, protected NCD, class I business usage.

I had a nightmare with Admiral - terrible customer service. I ended up cancelling as they were so incompetent.

Swings and roundabouts I guess as I left MoreTh>n for the same thing and have a case with the ABI and FO because of it pending. There is just no consistencey with the insurers and it is a lazy, corrupt industry that the Police and therefore Gorvernment endorse.

I tried the primoplc, but you need more cars than drivers to make it work.

This year Adrian Flux wanted around £1000 to insure my rs4 with Aviva, who were worse than useless on two occasions during the past year. Last years cost was around the £700 mark.

This year I Settled on Admiral in the end, got the RS4 and a civic on multicar insurance for around £1200.

Adrian Flux were pretty useless on the phone, so I was happy to deal with Admiral directly, and it'll be one less hoop to jump through in the event of a claim.

I've gone with Admiral multi-car, the saving over the RS4, my C1 and the wife's Fabia is £700 this year.

I had the C1 with Admiral and the other two were with More Than.

Just shows what a mine field it is because I found Admiral to be useless and after speaking to 4 different people I got give 4 different sets of figures, so I cancelled after a week.
