I need insurance.

[Tcarter]

I've just bought a C63 AMG and it's going to arrive soon. As you can imagine I'm planning on taking it out as soon as it gets here but I need to sort out my insurance.
I've had a couple of quotes but can anyone recommend any good specialist insurers?

Congratulations on your purchase

I renewed with Admiral again this year, have always found them to be competitive

Why specialist? C63 seems to be insured by anyone.

 

[Tcarter]

Thanks guys but the ones I've approached from seeing on the TV have quite high premiums for me. I've also got a few points for speeding and I was wondering if there were any that might specialise in Mercedes.
I take it you don't have any recommendations?

 

[Sp!ke]

just try a few comparison sites to compare the market....

 

[kinaero]

I always check my insurance first and make sure I am happy with it, before I'd buy any car.

 

[c63chris]

I just used confused.com and comparethematket. It's a mainstream car so comes up on all the web services no problem.

 

[tali]

Tesco seems to come up well for cars such as these.
Anyway, if you are in safe postcode -you'll(amazingly)pay a lot less than your twin in his lowly C180 in high risk area.

 

[Tcarter]

Thanks guys.

Kinaero, I normally would, but you know what it's like when you come across a car that you instantly fall in love with and have to get it then and there. Granted it was a weak moment, but I'm glad I did it.

I tried a whole bunch of comparisons sites, but they didn't seem all too good.
A friend of mine recommended Keith Michaels. So I rang them up and ended up talking to them for a while, it was a nice change from the others.

I think I'm going to go with them. Incase you want to try them they're on
Performance Car Insurance :: Keith Michaels Insurance PLC

Phfft! for a bog standard normal car yeah those comparison websites will sometimes do, but for any car half decent you want to use a more specialist insurer imo

Try:

Adrian Flux,
Aplan (ask for Dan)
Brentacre,
Greenlight,

im 30 with 7 years no claims i have a 515 bhp fully loaded Nissan Skyline with all mods declared, a £200 excess and i only paid £505 for fully comp insurance with Adrian Flux

my 2 pennies worth

cheers

 

[Tcarter]

Thanks dubs,
I'll give them a call tonight and see what they say.

I suspected the OP was going to link to an insurance company. [sigh]

 

[dubsR33]

whats OP ?

 

[Sp!ke]

original poster - usually when people join and then shortly after link to a business that they recommend it turns out to be a very underhand method of trying to market a business.

Not always... but highly likely.

 

[Tcarter]

I just put the link in because I enjoyed my talk with them, if it offends you, I'll edit it out.

 

[Howard]

You won't now , but you could ask a nice mod ( like Spike for example ) to edit it out for you ?

 

[ima poster]

Bit late, but for any searchers I had a remapped Jeep Commander and Adrian Flux were good value. Lots of insurers wouldn't touch it because of the mods. Not as competitive on the E250 I've just bought though.

 

[ChrisA]

Adrian Flux insure my modified Raptor, good service and very civil on the phone

Same. Seems common sense, really.
