[kme]

So.....my van insurance is due for renewal...

As you do, I go for new quotes, cos my existing wants me to pay >

 

[Zeespark]

Thanks KME, I tend to look at who is offering Me the best deal on a price comparison website, note down the costs, then I got to the individual insurers themselves, I will have saved in the region of

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Any of these comparison websites have never matched anywhere near the premiums i pay on any insurances. Its definitely worth looking around and fibbing by just a few pounds each time how much you are paying. You pay less for sign written vans.

with these sites i look at their best quote then go to that companies site and its cheaper again !!!

After you have found your best 3 quotes from the comparisons, have a look at topcashback to see if you can get cash back by buying direct. I got

just been looking at van insurance,

You can transfer NCB, though many of the comparison sites don't factor this in.

Try a real life business insurance broker, they will help normally, ours is very good.

maybe Im just living in an old fashioned place where I actually thought the insurance might be cheaper than the van!!!

might try ringing a few tomorrow,

Funnily enough I'm in the same boat. Not had insurance in my own name for 5 years and had 5 years NCB then but doesn't count now, nor does the fact that I have been a named driver on 2 policies and no claims ion 5 years. Madness

Going to cost me

Patch,

Are you in the FSB?

If so try them.

Else try a local business insurance broker, they can normally "help"!

Not in the FSB yet. Will join but need to earn some money first.

Might try a broker but pick the van up on Sunday so need to get on with it!

I used the car insurance to get a discount on the van, commensurate with the NCD I would`ve received Had to shop around for it though.

I`ll get Mrs. to dig out who its with.....

Albert - Mine`s 2008, and I pay <300 - L2H1 2L 120ps - to give you an idea

Insurance companies make it up as they go along.

I once got a quote from a broker and the cheapest was Norwich Union.

So I phoned them directly, thinking I could bypass the broker and the brokers's markup. They came back with a quote

Prodave. Brokers have schemes set up with insurance companies to ensure they get a better rate. When I was 17 I worked for a broker who had a motor trade scheme with nig which was 25% cheaper than the open Market accounts.

Aviva Van Insurance will match any NCD for those that have it on a family car or on another policy but you cant protect it. last year this reduced mine to around

headbang

a few rang me today to see if they could beat their online quote,

whats the reg number sir?

I dunno, I wont be buying the van til I find out insurance first,

sorry, we cant tell you how much without a reg number.

has it really got to the stage where nobody is able to actually quote for a specific van? they want the reg number cos thats what the system asks for!!!!!

I dunno, :|

 

[Sidewinder]

FSB Insurance will give speculative quotes on this basis I know as this is how I have been checking van insurances.
