The Mega Mk7 Golf GTI/GTD/R thread

I’ve been with 123 for years as they were always the cheapest (often by a distance) on the mk5 Gti.

I wasn’t even going to bother the insurance quoting roulette but just said I would and to my astonishment a lot of companies, some who have come back with everything from mad above 1k per year quotes to refusal to quote, were cheaper. I’d say aviva never quoted me less than 1k and they were around 700 this year, FBD were similar, Axa a little more and similar to 123. Liberty refused to quote online so went no further but then Allianz were 622 for their maximum cover policy.

If I went for a like for like policy to the ones I’ve always had it would have been around the 600 but the fully protected no claims was so little extra and the quote was still a good bit less than the others (which didn’t have full protection) that I went for it. The only slightly unusual thing compared to other policies is that your spouse is not automatically covered and has to be added as a named driver which could in some situation be a bit of a pain.

I’ve never had any issue insuring the Gti and always appear to be paying less than friends/family with similar driving history but driving much more run of the mill cars. I paid 470 one year with 123 but and was paying mid 500’s for many years.
