i just got a quote from HIC for the zcars R1 mini, and it was £619.

i think thats quite a lot to be honest.. im 27 with a clean license and clean everything lol.. maybe i should call some other insurers.

any suggestions?

Myself ,Ade and Pete are with a company called sureterm, search in google, all paying under £300 for agreed value

damn i really hate insurance companies!!!

just phoned Adrian flux and he basically ended up saying that they OWN HIC and he cant quote against themselves, and that my quote is so high because i have had no experience of driving fast cars!!!

also because i have had mini on a classice car policy i dont build up any no claims bonus and that also makes it sky high.

have the rest of you guys had problems getting good quotes or did you just go straight to sureterm

I paid £450 with an agreed value from Adrian Flux but only because sureterm wouldn't insure me due to a previous motoring conviction 4.5 years ago.

to be honest, before I drove the car I bemoaned paying £450. But now I think it's bloody good value!!!!

It was a relief to finally speak to someone who knew what a Z-cars mini was. Most companies kept you hanging on the phone for ages while "they talked to their underwriters" only to come back 10 minutes later to tell you they can't insure you 'because your pet hamster died on a leap year once.

At least the guy at Adrian Flux that I spoke to seemed to have a slightly higher intelligence than your average retarded amoeba. Now look, you've got me started about insurance companies.............

[minidan]

sureterm want £558 - a bit better but i was expecting a better deal to be honest. maybe i shouldnt have said it will be my main car.........opps

[R1minimagic]

Mine was about £450 from flux. Only problem was that they dont do laid up cover so I cancelled during the winter and then they charged me about another £140 for cancelling early!! Still cheaper than carrying on with the payments though.

I suppose being an old fart helps....Footman James kitcar insurance for agreed value and 1500 miles per year...£203 including breakdown cover for melting ECU's

I like flux, because all my previous polices have come with 60 days free euro cover and a years uk recovery with 30days euro recovery -perfect for ring trips! I think mine is about £450. When i changed it over, i was 23 with 3 years no claims, so not bad. But I've had to pay £1400 on a moded 1.4 clio a few years ago! and one firm quoted £3500 for the same motor!
