£500 on the scoob and £100 on my van. I don't think there is a normal as every ones different. Have a look in the insurance section and get some company's from there to quote you !

Over £300 is too much in my opinion. And I sell it for a living.
Dont try and get the premium so low that its a useless policy (so high excess you would never claim). Thats what they want you to do

I got a great deal ![Luxhello](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/luxhello.gif)
I have just insured my Civic type r for £400 with the RAC. They didnt provide a courtesy car but as i has RAC breakdown cover i get the courtesy car chucked in. Not bad considering i got the breakdown cover for £8!! It was dearer but i got cash back from Quidco making it £8. The excess is £350, 100 more than with the scoob.
I got a really good deal as the car has modified suspension, coliovers, AEM induction kit and a piper x exhaust system. I put these into the comparison site and it was only £15 more than without the mods.

My renewal came through for the MG and its bloody dropped in price ![EEK!](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I have not read all the bumpf yet as its not due till the end of the month, will check the excess, might even have another mouch on the compare websites to see if i can shave a little bit off.
When i was 17 years old i was paying 850quid on a battered old 1.0 Nova, and it has been pretty much 1k ever since, no matter what the car, apart from when i picked up the scooby and it was 2k![EEK!](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
To get a quote of 375 fully comp, i was stunned, it was 450 last year with the same company

My excess is £1000, i think it is due to age, but this makes the insurance a lot cheaper than if i had £500 or so excess.
Thing is, i have excess insurance so i get every penny back once the claim goes through. The cost of the excess insurance is a lot less than the higher cost of insurance with no excess.

I don't take too much notice of internet quotes, as very often the price you get quoted compared to the final price you have to pay is massively different.
Have heard of a few people who have bought online policies, then found out they have a £2500-3000 excess when they have an accident. (tend to get that when you have a young driver named on the policy)

When you think about it, an extremely relevant (hidden) cost, is the effect a claim will have on your next premium.
I had a claim recently (100%) my fault, and the increase in premium was negligible.
Not what I was expecting at all!!!![Thumb](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif)
ps Moley - is a half-trackday half the normal premium?
