London Insurance
Moderator: martauto
Is anyone getting a good price for insurance in London? I'm 34 have only held a license for a year and the car is garaged and used very little.. The quotes coming up are more like what you'd expect for a Bizzarrini Strada or some monster engined yank muscle car rather than a poverty spec 318i Auto

keep shopping around! Try a broker too.
If you can afford it, go for a massive excess (like £1000).
Rear wheel drive = expensive insurance

Age is a plus,location and experience is a minus.
Classic insurance usually requires use of another vehicle,ie,the 'classic' is a second car.

..I started working down the list of insurers in the sticky thread, will keep at it! Is it worth doing advanced driver training?/ fitting an alarm? Car came with an alarm but the remote was missing/ it could be dead..
Will definitely stack up the excess, it worked out cheaper on one quote to go fully comp with a £450 excess than to have third party insurance
I don't really need one car let alone two living in London, all the insurers seem to stack up the premium if you only have one vehicle though

There are quite a few companies that will give 10% off your premium if you are a member of a car club, if your premium is going to be high £40 to join the bmwcc could save you a lot more.
Would be interested to know if the E30Zone could be classed as a car club in the same way?

I said I was on a forum and that seemed to be good enough for them to tick the box.. Was toying with the idea of joining the german 3er club..clarko74 wrote:There are quite a few companies that will give 10% off your premium if you are a member of a car club, if your premium is going to be high £40 to join the bmwcc could save you a lot more.

The classic car policy is ok if you don't have any no cliams bonus because they don't use it.
But saying that they gave a quote last year that worked out a bit higher than the year before (surprise surprise). So i asked if he could better it, and he did. He quoted me £220 fully comp for inner london and not using my NCB
Still turned him down though, wish i hadn't because all the prices have now gone up again.

I've just gone down the classic insurance route for the first time, wish I had years ago now. 30 years old, zero no claims, 325i se and it came back at £217 fully comp. Although I'm not in London, but it's still a fantastic quote. Sure term I think they're called.
