Admiral, elephant or Bell direct.(same company)

I'm with Bell and I asked them what premium would be required if I had ppp fitted on a 53 sti and they say that they won't cover it!!!

Now I'm 32 with no points, 9 years no claims, good postcode and my renewal was only £625 not exactly high risk in the eyes of a insurance company.

Any feedback would be appricated as I've got 10 months to run on this policy.

Just covered my WRX SL PPP with elephant, all they asked was what percentage increase in BHP did the mods give, all in all an extra £237.00 extran on my policy for the 6months remianing (old Car 2 year Old C220 Merc )

33 years, full no claims 3 points (at the moment!!!) Wife to drive (at the moment!!!!)

Cheers

Yeh I read that, I'll wait and see what bell come up with first, I've sent them a email with links from the Subaru website describing the PPP, I don't think the people on the phone quite got it!! The wanted to know what was changed bhp increase % etc because they said there was different permitations of PPP!?!

tuscan57

you will be amazed as to wot they know....... i tried to get a quote from a few and they all told me a 03 spec'c' never existed rum (tom) knew before i phoned and was ready with some very interesting information about insurance....

Update, Bell definately won't cover the sti with PPP Sent them the exact details from the subaru website to avoid confusion, and they declined it. BUGGER!!

Bumped this as I just tried getting a quote for PPP.


Currently with Admiral, with exhaust as a declared mod. Wanted to know about wheels, Prodrive Springs and PPP. Wheels and springs about £100 premium increase but the guy on the phone knew exactly what I was on about when mentioning PPP and a definite NO as they have previously checked with the underwriters. Stupid when you think I'm half way there with the exhaust (I could decat and put new headers on with no further change to policy!).

Naffed off now -

Damn. Off to get quotes elsewhere now

Trashman

ahhhh cr@p! Now the online searches are off line. It is obviously not meant to be

Great. Liverpool Victoria online quote £1100+. Same details last year was about £750.

Subaru insured are fairly good, but I've also heard good things said about A-Plan. Your better ringing I've found as online quotes being cheaper is a bit of a myth.

Cheers, have tried Subaru Insured and a number of the others but a few new ones on me so will give it a go.

Just got a quote from Privilege for modding my 02 STi up to 330bhp (not decided on who is going to do it yet), they quoted me £1350 with £450 excess on acc damage, however if I took an excess of £1400, would take it down to just over £800. Just don't crash!!!!

Trashman

Amazingly Norwich Union is coming up best for me now! I say amazingly as they most certainly could not quote me happy when I got the Scooby!

Again, if you are prepared to take ridiculous excess, they are incredibly cheap - although they are currently beating Admiral by £200 a year on as near like for like quote as it is!

"Mods not an issue, but obviously a loading will probably apply depending on what is done". Best quote so far from them is £486 standard, £648 with Springs, wheels & PPP. £648 is the best I could get by taking a standard excess so well pleased. Just waiting for dealer to confirm pricing and availability now

Worth the risk of a high excess (£740 voluntary, £300 compulsory) - as for once it actually makes a significant difference (about £20/year per £100 excess).

Just switched from L & V to A-Plan. 02 STI with PPP, 18s, Prodrive springs, TSL back box, defi gauges etc and they came in at a very reasonable £ 800 (excess £ 300). Paperwork was a bit of a mess but now sorted! Subaru wanted near on £ 1000 and Tesco quoted £ 1400! I'm 40 with max no claims,
good post code etc.

Jiggerypokery

Let me guess, they got your name wrong, DOB, occupation, partner's occupation, number of years NCB, mileage etc...

Someone was a little careless on the keyboard when I applied for a policy there.

Badone

Unbelievable. Address typo, had me down for no mods, no security device,
wrong DOB for my wife, no mention of second car etc etc. Good quote though!

I used Subaru Insured for my 03sti+ppp, came to £822, Admiral wanted £1024 for the same cover with PPP.
You can cancel your insurance and get the remaining monies back minus admin charges, and then go with subaru insure. Then get PPP fitted.
You will need to do the math and see how much it will cost you though.
