Classic car insurance - the downside :(

Footman James = £1500
Adrian Flux = £570
Chaucer Direct = £280

Quite a difference. Chaucer said they'd accept a letter from the insurance companies saying that I'd been with them and not claimed. My own insurance company wouldn't do that. I might not be renewing with them next year!!

I somehow managed to post as Mr Imp last time, but it's me that's having trouble getting insurance.

I found the same swapping my '64 Daf for the current Pug estate. 27 years of claim-free driving that counted for nothing.

On the other hand, those cunning meerkats found me a policy for business use at £330 for the year, which became £290 when I phoned up to confirm and pay. That's less than I'd have been offered even with all the NCD in place from a lot of companies.

I've often thought that NCD is little more than a marketing trick, especially with the companies that offer unusually high discounts. If it really meant anything then there'd be no need to shop round at each renewal

Yes indeed. It was the meerkats who helped me find Chaucer. They even have a bit where if you select that you have no NCD then they ask if you have been a named driver and can prove it. Plus we get a free toy for the little monsters to play with.
