Got renewal quote of just over £5300!!!!!!! from A-Plan
I was insured with a-plan, and this was my renewal price, phoned them up, and they couldnt offer me anything else!!!! as i had the bad luck of having 2 claims close together in the last month or two.
over 5K!!! WFT
on my year just gone, it was around £650
anyway i am now a very happy customer of Keith Michaels, who done a fantastic quote, I wont say what it is, but I am VERY HAPPY! and will recomend them to everyone, not only for the very good prices, but also there customer service, and there willing to go that extra mile to help there customers out.
Thank you Gary

Rob Suter @ A-Plan has done everything to ensure my premiums stay at competitive rates but then again I have been fortunate enough not to have had any claims.

I went to A-plan to get insurance on my 2001 WRX bugeye completely factory standard.
I have 9 years no claim bonus, no convictions, no mods, 38 years old, married etc and they initaially gave me a qoute for around £450 fully comp.
Pretty good I thought until I went into one of their branches just to confirm the qoute and was then stunned to hear it was now £1400!!! WTF?
I pointed out to the girl who was dealing with me that I already had a qoute for around £450 but she must of typed in the wrong details. She then went over to one of her work mates and after a minute of chatting some1 else came back and told me it was now £570. Ok, better but I made a point of saying that they initially gave me a price of £450 fully comp. I then told them I just look for a better quote.
About a week later I got a renewal letter from A-plan insurance giving me a price of £472. The letter did not state if it was fully comp or third party fire and theft so I phoned them up and they told me it was third party fire and theft. I then asked whats the best deal you can do fully comp and they came up with £915!!!.
At this point I couldnt be arsed with them any more, and just pointed out to A- plan over the phone that I have had over 5 different qoutes ranging from 450 to 1400. I know insurance may change from week to week but 450 to 1400?
Sorry for the rant but they were absolutely useless!!

As for £5300, I know someone who actually paid £14k for their insurance granted it was 23 year old on a Ferrari F430 Spider but still

How about £15k third party only for a 30 year old on a McLaren F1, or £30k fully comp for a 32 year old on a Bugatti Veyron

By all accounts you've sorted cover elsewhere, however, if you want me to take a look into it please give me a call on 01635 874646 and I'll do my best.
If anyone has any issues give me a call personally and I will assist where I can. Here in Thatcham we specilise in Subaru's so if you contact your local branch you will not get the discounts or preferred rates we apply here to the Subaru drivers.
I like to think I am very approachable and if anyone has questions large or small to give me a ring on 01635 874646.
Take care all
Rob

Just to add, the 'close claims' part is nonsense. How do I know? Personal experience
Had my old red Scoob insured through Ecar. 2 claims went through on 20/04/07 and 24/04/07. At the time I had no NCB (only had my license 13 months), and come December '07, my insurance dropped from £1750 to £1250 fully comp, all mods declared. Then with 2 years NCB last December it dropped from £1250 for the Scoob to £470 fully comp for my current 205 (which is only 3 insurance groups lower at 14).
Shop around, because some insurers do still rely on folks general lazyness (sp) to not bother searching and accept whats put in front of them.
Oh, and the above was with 3 points for running a red light too.

Thats an interesting question, because on a couple of occasions they asked me what i have driven previous to buying the Subaru and my response was that i have driven a Peugeot 306 Gti-6 (group 17)for the last 8 years.
Thought it was an odd question as well .
Anyway the ball park at the moment is between 400 and 450 from what gocompared.com and confused.com are quoting me.

Yes. I can see the logic in your answer, but this was only on 2 occasions. I must of phone 20+ insurance companies and they never asked me what I had previously driven.
Weird.

Some companies (normally the large, direct ones) don't really care, but specialist brokers such as Keith Michaels, Greenlight, A Plan etc will ask, as the insurers will look into each case more closely.

yep they messed the drivers lock up as wellbut the police said that at that time golfs ,leons and skoda which are all part of the vag group had a glitch with the one touch window locking ,which meant that the thief could mess the lock and fool the software into opening all 4 electric windows and deactivating the alarm sensors in the car. the deadlocks stayed on but it allowed the thief to reach in through the front window and take out the centre part of the steering wheel with the airbag, all the wires were simply unplugged there was no other damage to the car.
