Called up for a quote today, will be interesting to see what comes back once they have spoken to the underwriters...

Haha, got my reply back today from the lady.. Quoted all modifications (the few there are)
With courtesy car, key cover, fully comp insurance up to 9k miles, 700 total excess I pay £142.00 a month with elephant. I was also quoted £1100 for up front payment rather than monthly..
Prestige with exactly the same details came back with a quote of £216.67 a month (£2,600) that's practically £900 more than I pay currently. Safe to say I don't think I'll be changing my insurance any time soon... Hoped you guys may have been able to make it cheaper. Shame
Hi to all!
***** OCTOBER – RECORD MONTH FOR POLICIES TAKEN OUT *****
Please don’t forget to ring us if your car insurance is due in November because......................................
.........last month was our best month of the year for policies taken out – September more than doubled our previous best (July) and October beat September!
Here is just a portion of the feedback received in the last few weeks about our scheme -
• Dunno the lass's name that dealt with me, but very helpful service, called back on time, very friendly and a good price. Good Times!
• Very very happy with what I was quoted
• Well I'm waiting with bated breath for the quote to see if it beats ‘X’ and ‘Y’....! It'll be great if it does and I must say that the person called back exactly when they said they would, I have not had to wait in queues and I'm impressed with the service on the telephone. THat's a major point as many on here become very disillusioned with a company if they keep failing to get through. Definitely good service and I'll report back again if I'm happy with the quote.
• Well I've got to say I'm extremely pleased with the service I've received today. Spoke to two advisors, Chelsea and after she went home, David. Both extremely helpful and courteous doing exactly what they said they'd do. And to top it all my premium is less than my renewal with ‘X’ and has £150 less excess too! I will recommend you to others and can say to folks on here, give them a try, they've been exceptional with me.
• ive just gone with these guys. 545 fully comp, saved 110 squid on my renew.
• Just to let everyone know these guys are bomb sortede out big time!!!! So sign up for the best customer service insurance company Iv ever come across.

Many thanks turna
Hi Clint
We gave the reasons to Mustard200 firstly about the implications of cancelling a policy early and also why we wouldn't compete against his quotes. I did check out his comments but didn't want to go into details on a public forum as it shows a lack of respect in my eyes.
You may have seen a recent news article stating that drivers who attend a speed awareness course instead of taking a fine and points on their licence may still see their insurance premiums increase.
Just to let you know this would not be the case with our car insurance scheme on here.
I was told that my current insurer may charge etc. for cancelling a policy early which had no bearing on your quote.Hi Clint

I had also not been advised by the lady I spoke with as to why you could not match / beat my current quotation? I was just advised you could not get near to my current price.
You are more than welcome to post what you wish on here for other members to see - but I thank you for the level of respect shown.
If you could post the reasons you were unable to beat my current price - I would be interested to see them.
Cheers
James
Hi James
One of the main reasons was due to the lack of experience of driving the car. When we looked at the comparison websites, we were getting quotes of £2700 which we undercut but we always felt it best that you try at renewal time considering you would have an extra years NCB and then everyone would quote from a level playing field so to speak!
Hope that helps

Hi to all!
Please don’t forget to ring us for a quote if your car insurance is due in December!
Here’s some feedback from the last few weeks –
• Good service with a very good quote, cheaper by a large amount than ‘X’(who I am with now), ‘X’ = £770. Prestige = £550!!
• The quote worked out at about 10% less than any other similar quote with the same amount of excess etc. The service was quick and very professional, all sorted within 20 minutes. Highly recommended.
• I had just done my insurance on my P11 GT this year, changing companies in the process, when I had the opportunity to purchase a P10 eGT. One of my major concerns was what the cost of insurance was going to be. As most of you will know, if you insure a second car, your insurance on it starts with NO no claims bonus. After trying the company the P11 GT is with, AND several others, all were talking telephone numbers & putting silly restrictions on a poor 61 year old guy, who only wanted a project in his spare time. (thats me by the way). I thought I would try Prestige & steeled myself for a long winded phone call, the obligatory thousand questions followed by a pause in which time stands still, followed by the disappointment of another astronomical figure. Six or seven questions later, and hardly a pause in the conversation, I had a quote ! I had to ask for it to be repeated, then I asked if they were sure ? They were, and I took the quote up there and then ! Prestige had managed to find me a company that would give me no claims discount, even on a new policy ! I paid little more for the P10 eGT than I was paying for the P11 GT with ten years plus no claims.
In short, these guys worked out well for me. My gratitude goes to Tony. Quick, efficient, helpful, we even managed a few laughs in the conversation !
Take it from me guys 'n' gals, this is insurance with a human touch ! I would encourage anyone who needs a quote to give Prestige a ring, after all, what have you got to lose ? They may save you money !
• I've just rung up for a quote on the Astra in my sig below. You're the cheapest at £695 fully comp.
• I have now taken out my Insurance through Prestige and Ill give you some information to make a descision for yourself. 25 year old Male 8 years NCB IAM member SP30 May 2012 - 3 points and a £60 fine Fully Comprehensive Social, Domestic and Pleasure plus commuting to and from a single fixed place of work.10,000 miles a year Modifications declared 12months Insurance came in at £525 from Prestige, which was £70 cheaper than confused.com. I then added the breakdown cover for £50 so my total premium for 12months insurance and breakdown cover is £575 which is still £20 cheaper than any confused.com quote. I added the breakdown cover as it was half what the ‘X’ wanted to renew with them (I have been with ‘X’ for 8years!)
I am happy with that. :-) Thanks very much Prestige.
What's the date women's car insurance will be increasing in line with men's. Mines due on the 20th December so want to sort it out before it goes up!
It's 21st December!
sweet, that couldn't be any more perfectly timed! will give you a ring tomorrow!
Please note that if you are wishing to insure a ‘performance’ vehicle on our scheme, then you must have at least a year’s experience of driving that or a similar bhp car.
Congratulations to Chris Woodward of Focusrsoc.com who won our £50 Prize Draw!!! (Chris permitted us to publish his name). We will hold another draw around March time.
Thanks also to those who have rung us for a car insurance quote in December. October was our record month but we are on course to beat that which is great considering December is historically a quieter month for renewal dates!
Here’s just a bit of feedback from the last 4½ weeks –
•Just gave Prestige a call and so far they have the best renewal quote. 1st year the ST was £1k, 2nd £750, 3rd £650 and 4th was £600 - they have just quoted £395 with bonus points and mods declared so quite impressed after the very small drop last year and not bad when I'm still just 26.
•Just sorted the scala with prestige, saved over £120 compared to renewal note from existing broker. Well worth a call.
•Spoken to these guys today, and they are to say the least fantastic! Extremely friendly, and have saved me loads on insurance. Incredibly happy, and would recommend to anyone!
•Prestige were so helpful and quick and quoted me 177 a month which is the cheapest I have found on pay monthly plans! I’m with the above insurance n there a top company.
•Prestige saved me almost £100 from the best quote I've had so far . £550 for living in N10 is great price as I had to pay around £900 last year. I've also tried ‘X’ again (don't know why as last year they quoted me £1200) and their best was just over a grand (insane). I'd like to thank Dave from Prestige who knew what he was talking about with no nonsense questions and he was the only agent I spoke to during my call and he did called me back as promised.
Do you guys do 'pay as you go'policy's?
Big thanks to Prestige who have blown everyone else out of the water with their quote on my civic! Looks like I'm with you for the next 12 months
