Post by **blueangelical** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 11:21 am

AON insurance won't cover the Snail because they said they only cover unmodified cars...?? pants.

Anyone know who else I should try and get insurance cover from., thanks..

It must depend upon what you mean by modified. Aon cover all my Minors including disks, 5-speed, new seats, heated screen (front & rear) etc. No problem at all. They were also happy to quote for 1300 cc.

I've also tried postoffice, direct line, and loads other.... have just tried Firebond as suggested and they've done it - yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Is there actaully a site which compares insurances?

I need to get my dear car insured in the UK.
22, full license, on road parking, first car, somewhere a bit rural I hope, oh and unlimited mileage

www.confused.com, but not sure if it does classics- it was great for quickly getting quotes for my 944 though, enter details once and I got 30+ quotes.

Yeh, but they're usually miles from any price you'll actually be quoted...

Confused.com is brilliant. I used them last time for my Rover's insurance and it slashed the cheapest price I could find.

Ant, not sure I understood your last statement. The company that confused.com found for me quoted a price and that's exactly what I paid.

Post by **d_harris** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 12:08 pm

Yeah, Thats the idea of it!

Post by **blueangelical** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:04 pm

confused.com couldn't help me, all of the results had a cross through them...

Post by **Cam** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:32 pm

I thought you got sorted?

confused.com is great for standard run of the mill stuff (standard modern cars).

Post by **Onne** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:48 pm

well, confused.com cheapest for me was around £1400.

and that is just plain scary compared to the £60 I now pay per annum

Post by **Ant** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:51 pm

Well, Confused for me with Mum & Dad quoted around £1500 minimum.

And we're paying around £700 a year, including extra for paying monthly.

Post by **Onne** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:52 pm

that would be for the modern car?

Post by **Ant** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 8:55 pm

Yep, piddly 1.2, the Bug.
