Insurance

Does any one have an any driver policy on their M3? and if so whats the cost and the terms?

I want to pull the trigger on an E92 but I'm not willing to pay 6k for insurance.

Difficult to say without knowing more but the main variables are going to be postcode, age, driving fines/convictions, NCD, where the car is stored (i.e. garage, on the street, driveway), mileage expected per annum etc...

Biggest variable is Manchester.

I was looking to buy it in my fathers name, for him alone it's around 700 but I didnt realise I'd have to quote my details which messes up the quote.

Maybe when I turn 25 it will come down to a reasonable amount but I can't wait that long.

Insurance companies are well aware of this sort of things nowadays. If you are a named driver only but turn out to be the main driver. They are entitled to refuse any claims as per the contract T&Cs.

The price is still ridiculous with me as a named driver so it's not even an option.

My father would also use it and I have a another car as a daily driver so it wouldn't be a problem if I wanted to do it this way anyway.

Think my London postcode isn't helping. They have quoted me 1680.62 with 3000 excess!

Jeez what the hell are you guys doing? I've been quoted £440 with +1 named driver and I had an accident last year that cost £7500 to put right. Had No Claims Protection, but even so.. XS is only £500.

Am through Royal Sun Alliance.

Tried Admiral for a Multicar quote, what a Joke! Quoted me £400+ for my Mini (MoreThan quoted £235) and £650 for the //M...where's the saving??

As hugehead said...shop around you'll get a better deal.

Agreed shopping around helps, despite 10+ years NCB, an East London postcode is something that drives the premium right up, only way I can change this is to move place!
