I've left my number with them three times over the last two years and NEVER had a call back! The guy I spoke to this year (not Moley) was a bit of an **** too. No thanks, i'll stick with A-Plan

 

My premium increase 28%, no change to circumstances.
Shopped around to get it for 10% less than I paid last year, that's with LV.

Ironically I was with LV 3 years ago when they upped the quote a large amount so I left. No claims in the meantime, so they could basically have had £2k of premiums if they'd kept the quotes sensible

 

Lol. No it was £450, and went up by £450

 

Direct line went from £400 to £690 on me today so there history now, but still got stung for £540.Funny enough the policy is still underwritten by the same company but through different agent.

 

Jeyasus!!

 

you guys gotta think yourself lucky, your complaining of insurance of £600 etc, i cant afford a scooby yet due to age, im not paying 9k insurance for a car worth 6k...

My mams Audi a4 s-line estate costs £170 per year... that wont even cover her alloys in a smash! im currently paying £2k for a 1.2l sad days

 

i have my hopes on moley though, i understand hes busy and hope hes still in the game next year when i might be able to afford one. im prepared to wait however long it takes for a reply, the best things come in time right?

from what i hear moley, keep up the good work!

 

If your username is a sign of your age, I doubt Moley can help. He's good, very good but not a miracle worker. Best of luck though as it will cost you next year too.

 

Yeah i know, completely sucks how because a 17 charva passes his test, gets into a micra, corsa b and drinks drive, they feel all us young lads do that

im aiming for a r sport or gx so wont be too bad once im 19 in october next year would love a blobeye, best look imo, add a spoiler and hood im good to go!

Thanks for the luck, im gonna need it :P

 

To be fair mate, I'd say from experience that starting in a very quick car is likely to end badly if you're not sensible - and that's where the problem lies - most 17 year old lads want to show off to their mates and tend to do the odd occassional (or in some cases, frequent) tittish manouvre. Add a proper performance car into the mix instead of a slower 1.1 or similar model, then you can imagine that the resulting damage and probable heartache is likely to be much worse - worst case scenario people end up dead instead of just injured.

However just so we're clear, I'm not necessarily lumping you in with that crowd, but you need to remember that it's all done on the law of averages.

If 90% of 17 years old lads drove sensibly, insurance would be cheaper, in exactly the same way as if 90% of people actually bothered their ***** to pay for tax and insurance then motoring would be cheaper for all (...maybe ).
Sadly, neither's true so we get screwed on both

You'd actually be surprised though - my mate used to work for big well known insurer and he said that many of the car insurance arms make a loss as they don't retain their existing customers, because their sales staff are being made to offer stupid rates to new customers, and spend less time trying to attract people to stay with them.

Hopefully they'll start to realise the stupidity of this new approach soon, and start offering those of us who put business their way better deals to stay with them so we can all benefit and continue to do so from more competitive prices.

 

I completely agree with you, obviously, the insurance groups dont have time to give everyone a maturity test, and yes, i will admit, now and then when im on the A189 and some charv goes past in his little corsa b thinking he is faster than me, i may show him up (but safely) but as i have learnt from my dad there is a massive difference between fast driver and a stupid driver

fast, pushes the limit on a straight road, good weather, overtake on a straight with no juntions etc

stupid, driving 50mph over the speed limit no matter what

but i think some insurance companies need to learn, there are some teenagers out there that like me, have wanted a scoobie for many years and if i had one, ad be waxing it every day, taking good care, would not dare risking get a scratch never mind wrapping it around a lamp post and i gotta be honest, my method of showing off would be driving 25 mph in a 30 limit so more people can see me rollin, they hat'in haha sorry had to!

 

Hope you don't have spinners on your car LOL.
You could always try pass plus mate?

 

spinners are just the start haha!

hmm, i didnt put much thought into pass plus, i wasnt sure if it would make that much difference, have you heard of anyone getting much off their insurance with pass plus mate?

 

does Moley do JDMs?

 

Yep

 

Just tried you but you're not in the office until tomorrow!
How very dare you

Flux couldn't even get close to my renewal!

 

Was getting my car fixed (thank you Simon - JGM) and putting it back together again.

Back in tomorrow, but will be out the office between 10.30 and 13.00

 

thats for the remap

 

My old ECU died, so Simon supplied and fitted a replacement (with my map on).

 

Hopefully you can give us a call tomorrow before 10-30, or after 13-00, so i can get some cover for my car. Getting it back from API on Saturday hopefully but its sorn and i cant get tax without the insurance note. Ive left my number with a bloke at your office thanks Gary.

 

Flux are a joke mate, wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
Keith Michaels and A-Plan are the only two companies I've come across who offer sensible policies for modified owners.

 

flux just like a plan are a joke they wanted me to build a garage for my scooby cheeky gits thats aplan an then they said they don't do the UK scooby HOW VERY RUDE OF THEM but thanks to MOLEY i'll be goin back to get mine sorted (eat that 1 MR COOPER) LOL

 

lol JDM all day dude

 

LOL!!. I'll sorta take that back about flux i rung them today again an they give me better price the moley only by £50 which is soundin better now things could be slowly lookin up now me thinks

 

I asked Gary at Keith Michaels if putting the wife on the policy would bring it down and was told they won't even consider it till she's been driving two years !!
