My renewal with MoreThan came in at £399 fully comp for my SLK so I did a bit of undercover work on their website. First stab was a quote, to include all the cover details that was on my renewal, of £384 which I saved for later as my current certificate has got a week or so to run.

Tuesday gone, I get a call from someone called Ruby at MoreThan customer services and she asks me if I am happy with my renewal quote to which I reply, sort of but after playing with your on-line quote system I get a lower figure for the same cover. She asks me for the reference number which I dont have with me but we arrange to talk again and if I can quote the on line reference number to her she will beat that,(their own ) quote.

In the meanwhile, I try the website again and this time I get a lower quote of £375 . I have not yet spoken to Ruby, I thought that I would wait until after the holidays.

In the meanwhile - meanwhile I tried Esure's webby system and they are quoting me £349 . Do you think if I keep on chugging away like this I will get it for nowt in the end?, I cant wait to speak to Ruby

Portzy.

Keep on chugging.

Don't forget that www.quidco.com - if you buy having gone through that site should offer cashback of £100 to £130 if you buy via lloyds tsb or prudential and perhaps some more...
My better half went via lloyds and got a years fully comp insurance for £70 in effect.

Just got to see if it is competative anyway - for some people it will still be better to shop elsewhere.

SLK 230 Insurance

Hey could do with some help on the insurance front, been with Tesco's for a while but they seem to have upped the price dramatically on their renewal which is due in september. My circumstances havent changed so I don't know why. Had a nose on http://www.moneysupermarket.com/motor/ seem to be throwing back some cheap deals but wondering if this is a good idea? has anyone got any advice on the subject? or any recommendations

Check the cover and support offered. Sometimes it looks cheaper but you're nor getting as much for your money.

Welcome btw.

9 yrs NCD, clean licence : £418.95

*sigh* my last insurnce premium for more than double that.

with 4 years NCB on a group 13 BMW 320td diesel hatchback.

obviously I had to give them a few quid to change to the SLK.

my problem is location of course, manchester city centre, next to ordsall and salford, with no garage does not a cheap insurance premium make.

crumbs - a lot of these quotes are really high!
£480 with prot. no claims and legal etc fully comp for my E500. (less for my Ford Focus Estate )

I hate to think what my renewal next year is going to be, despite me having 9yrs Claims Protection?

Your no-claims protection is a discount applied after the premium has been calculated so it should still have a decent effect.

Needless to say that all the recent flood damage is going to be reflected in all our insurance premiums, home included.
