Morris Minor Owners Club

One of my classics is up for re-insurance this month.

Currently with Footman James, but someone recently listed another insurer who I checked out and found to be considerably cheaper!

Can't remember who now.....can someone please flirt me a list of classic car insurers, either on here or via PM.

Thanks,

Graham.

It could have been AON. They give a good deal on Classic insurance and RAC breakdown combined.

AON have taken over Footman James as far as I'm concerned AON are the best and I've been with them several years now and did find them cheaper than FJ anyway + added benefits.... mine is up for renawal shortly but depending on price etc; may have to reconsider when I get the price.
I have found in the past that you can always 'haggle' with 'AON' especially when you are an existing client ( oh and btw, tell them if you're in the AA or Rac and don't require breakdown cover, that makes quite a difference to the premium ) you don't get out for nowt

I am with RH - costs me £80 for the year - UNLIMITED mileage - and it includes breakdown and recovery to home if the breakdown lads can't fix it!! Unbeatable I think.

Just had our renewal from FJ, 3 minors, a beetle and the cavalier, all fully comp., unlimted mileage, breakdown and legal cover for £287

I am with RH - costs me £80 for the year - UNLIMITED mileage - and it includes breakdown and recovery to home if the breakdown lads can't fix it!! Unbeatable I think.

Moggy £34......... A35 £15...............MGB £56 total £107 for fully comp; unlimited mileage, guaranteed value, audio equipt; covered + hotel stay if long way from home.. that's what I call unbeatable
Cheaper to join the AA as well and forget breakdown cover

Mal

I am with AON fully comp limited to 3000 miles,no breakdown cover,car garaged in low risk area,have full no claims bonus on my other car, and I`m 59.I pay £97

.I pay £97

Tell em to shuv it Oh forgot to mention, that includes my daughter to drive all three
Mal

I was with Aon, now with FJ. Aon were charging me £135, and FJ £98.10. Someone mentioned Adrian Flux - anyone had any dealings?

Mal - you don't tell us which Co gives you this wonderful deal !!
Just to note - the RH policy includes RECOVERY to home - and the whole deal costs less than AA membership with recovery!

Yes he did ,

aon could not beat footman james on their quote for me
unlimited mileage, any use , breakdown cover, legal expenses, windscreen cover , ungaraged all for £95.00

RH for the same was £110.00

I still think it's obviously personal choice, but bear in mind when I say that I don't accept breakdown cover from these companies, that being a member of the AA also covers my everyday car, and I have just queeried my AA renewal last month... they quoted me quite a bit of an increase but a check on the internet showed that buying online made a considerable saving... ( which I don't do ) so I rang them and asked why it was cheaper online, the differnence was about £20+ if I remember, so I told them that if I didn't get it at the same price as offered online, I would cancel and go with the RAC.... I'll leave you to guess the outcome it all depends on you bargaining skills..

Don't forget to claim a discount for being a member of the MMOC.

I find it works fot the AA as well the official discount for members with the RAC.

My renewals due the end of this month, so I'll bear these qoutes in mind.
Just checked policy - paid £170 for fully comp and Rac cover. (with AON)

The car only covered 4,000 miles between mot's.

I recently tried RH, and whilst they gave me a lower quote, unfortunately they could not offer an agreed value policy.

i found that aslo with RH

so stayed with footman james

Footman James have just sent my renewal for the Rover P4. Last year - £98.10, this year £136.95.

Sheesh!

RH wanted £126.00. Been quoted £88.25 from Adrian Flux. Might see if I can get a better offer, since I’ve got till the 30th of May for this one.

I've just had a search around myself and my quotes are not in the same league as yours being a young driver who had a claim last year. However lancaster insurance were able to offer me the lowest quote having tried AON, RH, Footman James and Nowrich Union

A few of my policies are with FJ, as AON quoted at least 50% more (Minors and Land Rover).
However for the Trabi, Aon were cheaper than FJ, and both were too expensive. The Trabi is now with 'Sureterm' for a sensible price!
Basically it pays to shop around if cost is the main factor.

However if you have a show car then you need to consider more than just the price!! AON's behaviour/reputation is a big factor in them being chosen as the club scheme.
