Insurance renewal

[Mashby]

Hello,

Today my insurance renewal dropped on the mat. My car is a 1968 Herald 1360 convertible and it is a standard car (nothing clever like different engine etc)

I am currently with Foootman James and my renewal quote is £206.18. It includes recovery and agreed insurance value of £5k on unlimited miles (which I really don’t need)

Can anyone recommend another company who could possibly beat this quote or am I doing okay with this quote from Footman James?

many thanks

M,

GT6, Peter James, unlimited mileage, agreed value 16k, recovery (used once!)  £120

PJ don't seem bothered about mileage limits, a few thousand to unlimited didn't cost any more.

Have I sent my last valuation in?!!! BUGGER!!!!

Do you have TSSC valuation which is accepted by the TSSC insurance panel . Best £15 I’ve spent got a very pleasant surprise  as to insurance value , which shouldn’t be misconstrued to a possible sales  value

I doubt you will beat Peter James 0121 506 6040. A few questions done over the phone. For agreed value you will have to fill in a form and send them three recent photo's of your car. Easy as that

The form and photos can be done by email, too. My premium is higher than yours, @Mashby, but it covers three cars, two of which have agreed value of £14-15K

Postcode is the biggest variable - so be careful when simply looking at two numbers from people in reply to your question. That said, I would strongly recommend you speak with Peter James, they are usually very competitive and, being a club panel member, make the agreed value part simple.

the phone is still your friend to make sure you are comparing apples with apples.

Thanks for all the input. I should have mentioned i am in SE London which no doubt will have a weighting, but it looks like I will be giving Peter James a call to start with and take it from there. My feeling is I can definitively do better!

if your current policy is under written by ERS then you will get same quote from PJ +/- a few £. As I discovered a few weeks, tried 4 brokers, all use ERS, and each knew more about me than I told them, so we're getting details of my named drivers from ERS.

I eventually found a different underwriter via Cherished Insurance, saved 40% compared with PJ.

Strange one that Scrapman, i tried them last year and the very helpful chap said he couldn't do the breakdown cover for my three cars for what i was paying...... I guess there must be so many things they take into quotes? I even have a 25year old on the policy. Mine is ERS  BTW.
