High Performance Insurance - Who are you with?

Atomic Pineapple

Just thinking it would be a good idea to get a list of who people insure there high performance cars with as it seems to be getting more and more difficult to get quotes on powerful cars and a list of who people are with and what car they have might help with finding quotes.

I drive:

1999 ukdm Honda Integra Type R, standard, no modifications

My Insurance:

Fully comprehensive with quinn direct €1200

My Details:

25, 4 years ncb, full license, 2 points

Experience with changing over:

I changed from a 03 Ford Focus to the Integra while having a policy with quinn direct, after getting a quote for the car online I rang them and they decided they didnt want to insure me. So I had to go down the 3 refusal letters route to force them to give me a quote, which they did and it ended up actually being a very competitive quote.



*if people could do the same following the above format it would be great and I think a helpful thread

I drive:

1999 jap accord sir-t, some mods declared

My Insurance:

Fully comprehensive with travellers, 1000€

My Details:

26, 2 years ncb, provisional license, 0 points

Experience:

drove a civic coupe, ls1 1.6 from may 2007 to march 2008, was with quinn direct, switched to a subaru legacy b4. quinn said they couldnt quote me, 1 minute later they charged me another 80 till may.

car went bang after 3 days, switched to another leggy b4 for free. 2 weeks later got a 00 accord euroR, switched insurance over to that till the end of may for another 80.

wanted 2200 when policy was up so switched car to an accord sir-t and sold the euroR. they were charging me 1750 for the sir-t.

they ****ed me about on my policy at xmas (9 months into my ncb) so i left and went through a broker and got the same policy with travellers for 1000. nearly 800 euro cheaper than quinn.

My Insurance:

through XS Direct, Fully comprehensive €960, excess: €2000

My Details:

i had to change insurance companies from Quinn as they wouldnt quote me on a Celica until i turned 25. Insurance is expiring in May, will definitley be dropping to third party f&t and shopping around for other quotes.. the excess is just ridiculous

Nobody came near Quinns quote but come renewal time i will be using a broker to see if i can get a better deal but i suppose its not too bad.

That seems like a raw deal to me. Considering you are female, your age and the NCB you have, I'd have thought you would have got a better deal than that somewhere.

could be the 4 points. Most insurance companies only care about points once its over 2

Im 25 got a GT Four insured with Quinn Direct for 990.

Its a UK spec so a lot cheaper to insure.

Selling it if anyone is interested got an M3 instead.
