Vehicle Insurance

I've had my heart set on a particular car for a while (many years!) now, and I've finally found a decent one. It's a classic with a fairly big engine.

 

Anybody got any recommendations on which insurance companies might be worth a look (bearing in mind it's a classic)?

 

Also, does anyone know if motorbike 'no claims' are worth anything in relation to buying car insurance?

Welcome to the new askMID website

 

The askMID website has been refreshed to tell you more about a new campaign to Stay Insured.

 

You can still access the services to check a vehicle is on the Motor Insurance Database – check for FREE that your own vehicle is recorded on the MID, or if you've had an accident, to check that the other vehicle is insured.

 

Right now, we want to help you learn more about the value and social importance of insurance, particularly as you may be one of the many people looking at ways to cut back on your spending because of the recession.

 

Driving without insurance is a criminal offence. Hundreds of thousands of people are convicted every year for taking to the road without a valid insurance policy. The police seize about 500 uninsured vehicles every day. You can't afford not to … Stay Insured.

so was horrified to find that their premium demand had jumped to a massive 420 pounds. The day after I received the notice I received a phone call from NUD asking me if I was about to renew my policy. I complained that the premium was far too high and that I was searching on the internet for lower quotes. The salesman told me that he would ring back the following day. [/url]

 

This is part of my post which opened this thread. Why the sudden duplication?

There might just be a clue in the link at the bottom of the duplicated posting.

Its bot just trying to generate some extra cash, dont click the link IMO.

 

On topic tho.. Someone i know has just past his test and i was shocked to hear how much his insurance was for a car that was valued at £500, I understand how over the years a few young males have created a bad oder amongst the rest fo the driving community but i still fail to see how an Insurance company can justify £1700 for a years insurance. I apprceate it is more to do with what you might hit rather than yourself but surely by charging this, Insurance companies are Charging you as guilty before proved guilty and in many repsects probably making it far to expensive for some new drivers to get on the road after passing their test after all it is costly enough as it is.

 

This got me thinking as to why dont Insurance companies put the extra cash into the Excess side fo things rather than the Insurance quote?

Any advice??

I have a 650cc bike and I also have CBT under a provisional bike licence. I aim to use the 650cc during the Direct Access route to gain full licence.....but I am having trouble finding insurance as the brokers will only offer insurance for a 125cc under a provisional licence. Has anyone out there undertaken a Direct Access route on a big bike (over 125cc) and managed to get insurance. If so, where from??

 

Thanks.
