Hot Hatch Car Insurance

leew

Hi all

My renewal is due within the next few day's and it's gone up from £370 last year to £499 this :mad:

Does anyone know of any companies i can try? done a few comparison sites but they come back £500+

Thanks.

Adrian Flux and Sky are the only ones i can think of. Although if you look on forums for your type of car, there'll be people recommending companies.

I think that's going to be the case regardless of the car. We were paying under £500 with Direct Line a few years ago for a 2 yr old focus st, the renewal came back £100 dearer and all the comparison sites were much the same as the renewal quote. We found it was the same for our Mondeo as well (10 year old diesel lx) was £370 a couple of years ago, last year all the quotes were nearer £700 (not paying that much so she's now sat rotting away in my mum and dads car park). Unfortunately insurance prices are going up, I think £499 for a hot hatch is pretty good, we may need a 2nd car in the near future and have been getting quotes of over £400 for old 1.1 fiestas.

The deals are still out there as long as you don't expect the world from the insurer; especially if the car isn't worth a massive amount.
I've got an MR2 (2 litre, 2 seater) and a Volvo 850 T5 (155mph 2.3 litre turbo) and they're costing me £370 to insure.

Check out Adrian Flux and Greenlight - Personally, I'm with Greenlight and they have quoted me the cheapest price for my Mini Cooper S two years running...
