Are there any chances of getting a comprehensive quote, even though im only 20 with 2 years NCB?

Hi,

I'm afraid the only way would be if you were in a few days of your 21st birthday.

Is there any reason why you need fully comp over TPFT?

Thanks

[Jakey]

More just for piece of mind. I'll be insuring a Nova C20XE so wanted it FC if i could.

[General Baxter]

do you do van insurance quite cheap?

[John]

can you insure our (the wifes) zafira?

[Mike]

do you do van insurance quite cheap?

They can yes, as mines currently insured via them. £300 or 400 it came to with break down cover.

[skyinsurance]

do you do van insurance quite cheap?

Yes, standard UK cans only, no modifications.

[skyinsurance]

can you insure our (the wifes) zafira?

We'll certainly have a look at it for you.

Thanks

Subject to some extra criteria (eg car kept off road , cat 1 alarm, 23 and over for TPFT, 25 and over for fully comp)

[Connor]

Ollie i know you cant actually insure me as i only have 1yrs no claims,

Just so i can plan for the future?

[General Baxter]

got my docs in the post this morn, im slighly confused,

the only modifications on the cover note/shedule is alloy wheels,

there should be
2L16v engine
alloys,
brakes,
suspension mods

[MK999]

does it look like it's a single line on the form? Mine only lists a couple and shows a line cut in half where it doesn't fit on the sheet lol

[Stoo]

Olly, im a paid up member, but after a quote on a very lightly modified VW Golf.
Can you help?
Lightly modified - Wheels, coilovers, Front and Rear lights, and a non-performance exhaust. (Just a back box)

You should have a seperate modification report form which details the modifications seperately. My colleague should have explained this also, I will have words.

No idea if you'd actually know but should I have had something similar from HIC? As I never did, useful to know if I'd need it if I ever got pulled over or if they'd just accept that if I'm declaring a few things and theres obviously more lines unprinted, I'm probably straight on everything else too.

Doesn't really matter now as I'm in the 306, but still lol

They wont do it if the docs for the V5 say 1298cc either lol and getting that changed is a ballache!

good luck..

[skyinsurance]

olly?

Apologies. I missed the post first time around :mad:

It is hard to say and we do have some restrictions on the DN postcodes. have you got 2 years NCB, I feel we would need that for the postcode.

No problem with 'caged cars.

[General Baxter]

They wont do it if the docs for the V5 say 1298cc either lol and getting that changed is a ballache!

good luck..

i was going to do it all in one, log book and tax at the same office, lol

[Jack]

if you're going up a tax bracket, they'll do you both the tax and V5c at the local office. Thats assuming you have adequate insurance and an MOT cert.

The order should be:
Insurance first and foremost (so you can drive to the MOT station)
MOT second (so you can then get tax)
Tax and V5c third (which you can do both together at the same time, at your local DVLA shop).

[scott.parker]

Dont forget to get a garage to write your engine number/and chassis number on it certifying it's correct etc, and has to be on HEADED paper not your own scribblings lol

i HAD to do this, or it was a no goer on mine before PV last year, then you have to re tax in the bigger bracket as they wont tax it as 1998cc until you have the correct V5, as i say i HAD to do this, and they wont do it any other way..

will it be ok, as its still got 6months mot, or will i have to re mot it due to the new engine

[mowgli]

will it be ok, as its still got 6months mot, or will i have to re mot it due to the new engine

it really needs an mot after anything major like an xe engine swap

[Archie]

The mot is really on the shell & components so i cant see the difference ?

[Jack]

MOT doesn't check the condition of engine, clutch & gearbox though. I've never seen anything that states an MOT should be re-taken if the vehicle undergoes mechnical alterations.

[Archie]

Neither have i, we used to do MOT's at my old work and i asked my foreman if i'd have to re mot my car after changing the engine he said it would be fine to continue using it.

[mowgli]

ok, people, what about the 'couch cough' structural alterations needed to fit an xe??? ie: BIG HAMMER

called sky today for a quote very helpful and friendly unfortunatly they couldnt cover me on the nova but they did try thanks

[steviet293]

i would say you had a narow escape then bud. once you pay them they dont want to now after that would not recomend them to any one. my car was hit by another car and when i contacted them they didnt want to now iwasVERRY VERRY PISSED OFF AND DISAPOINTED. the moral of this is it may seem cheeper at the start but you always get ramed in the end.

this is not skys problem, you will need to claim off the insurance of the person who hit you :roll:

the only way they would help, is if you claim off your own FULLY comp insurance

[steviet293]

so i pay them to watch me do all the donkey work.apsolute bolocks.now i can see why ppl do drive without insurance,theire is always some way not to pay up.and now they want another £100 on top of my renewal.this is legalised extortion. no wonder this cuntry is going to ****.wee get robed at every turn.

[MK999]

lol you obviously don't realise how this works, you're claiming off of the other guys insurance because it was his fault, but you'd rather watch your premiums jack up by making a claim on your own because you can't be arsed to ring his insurance company? lol

[General Baxter]

you need to get incontact with the other drivers insurance, saying he has hit you,

all you need to do it tell sky you have been hit and going to claim off the other persons insurance,

if you want to claim off your insurance, your going to have to be fully comp

[blue_peg_16v]

not necersarily baxter if the other party says its your fault you need your insure to fight it and possibly take them to court due to the disagreement on liability your method is fine in an open and shut case say someone driving into the back of you, did you have legal cover, i wouldnt take a policy without it

[NovaLad]

Please can you change the rules to allowing manchester/oldham lol

If you wish me to look into this, speak to both insurers then I am more than happy to do so. My job is to work on behalf of you car club member customers so if you need me to do something please just ask, I am at the end of a PM. Without the details, there is no point in me commenting any further.

Sorry, we've recently had a lot of postcode restrictions removed and relaxed but unfortunately 'M' and 'OL' are still excluded.

Oh i won't bother lol.

[sulphur]

What about postcode BL, I rang a few month ago and although the fella was uber helpful..couldn't quote me happy. :(

[Jakey]

Ringing now :)

[Jakey]

Chap was very helpful. Says it was coming out around £1400-1500 for a c20xe nova, brakes, exhaust and coilovers. 2 years NCB.

He hurried off quite quick and said somebody would call back on Friday :S

[scott.parker]

Just had a renewal for my track xe, and it's total premium is £66 more then last year, and it's saying i can only pay in installments, why???

Did the Icelandic volcano effect car insurance also? lol

[scott.parker]

Well after ringing round allot of insurance places today i have found out that the one that sky gave me is the cheapest, as i had one that was £2000! lol lol lol lol the reason i got told was last year there was lot and lots of claims so the premiums have gone up all across the board! Typical im 30 this year, though everything would go down, not up!

Scott

[Adam]

Fook, dont be saying all this stuff about prices going up!! lol

Mines due in a few week, and if its more than i can afford, i wont be using the nova for a few months=missing every show this summer lol

[scott.parker]

Go sell your ass now then!

[wwmnw]

Age:

Limitations of the scheme imposed by Sky Insurance are that all policy holders must be at least 19 years of age and have held a full driving licence for at least 2 years. For comprehensive insurance we need you to be over 21. We will be more competitive for the older drivers with a good driving record rather than a 20 year old with 0 NCB looking for comprehensive cover.

Read that.

[HASS]

yeah we had read that but the way i read it was that to be eligible for the discount you had to be 19, i just wondered if Sky would still offer cover for him without the discount ?

[skyinsurance]

yeah we had read that but the way i read it was that to be eligible for the discount you had to be 19, i just wondered if Sky would still offer cover for him without the discount ?

Hi,

whilst we may be able to provide cover if the car is standard (no mods) it is unlikely we will be competitive unfortunately.

Apologies

[Stuart]

Cheers Louise/Ollie :)

Got a two car quote (well separate cars but heavily discounted), although I didnt realise this and tried to get the bargain price Passat policy. turns out I had to get both to get the full epicness... OK the vx price wasnt as low as other places but when bundled all together they were much greatness :)

Admiral wanted £850ish for both, I got them both for £700 thanks to Sky :)

[Jeff16v]

Spoke to Louise the other day, got quoted £435 from HIC, sky could beat them at just over £400 but couldn't get the excess down to the HIC £75. Will def ring them for the two golfs though when they come up:thumb:

[scott.parker]

Again Sky come up trumps, I'll post up the actual amount when the renewal comes round in October, but they have said the Astra SRi will be £300 FC it's close to other quotes but still £50 cheaper..

Scott

[Stuart]

yeah the astra was around the £300ish mark from all insurers for us, even with 10yrs no claims on it lol

[skyinsurance]

You guessed it mate, Ollie's yearly holiday :d

I always go to Greece, this year I thought I'd push the boat out so me and the missus are off to sunny Southampton.. then it's JAE next weekend , then a day off to recover, then I'll be back here answering your questions, woo hoo! :d

[General Baxter]

well ill be modding the beemer, so i bet you will want some more money off me, in exchange for a lovly bit of paper lol

can you do van insurance???

yes, as long as the van isn't modified, tel: 0208 3645500, please make it very clear you are a PNG member :thumb:

[General Baxter]

Run them by me now by PM if you like...
just be the normal mods

suspension, maybe some new alloys, ect

cover a welded diff lmao lol

[skyinsurance]

No probs, even the welded diff.. We insure a lot of the Drifting community.. a lot of them weld their diffs.

The wheels wont make a blind bit of difference, depends on what you are doing to the suspension but it is unlikely to make much on an impact on price, if any at all.

[scott.parker]

Again Sky come up trumps, I'll post up the actual amount when the renewal comes round in October, but they have said the Astra SRi will be £300 FC it's close to other quotes but still £50 cheaper..

Scott

Just got the actual quote in the post today, it's a bit more then they said back when i swapped over, but then things go up and down etc..

All in with fees etc is £390 Fully comp £200 excess fees, BUT it's the cheapest by far, as the next close to it was Hastings with £460 FC with £350 excess fees..

So Sky strike in again..

Scott

[Rysee]

Just had my quote on my 325i, spoke to Sam, very helpful. All mods declared, 22 years old, 2 years NCB

TPFT £1441 with £350 excess, Brilliant price I'll be taking that out in a couple of weeks when my Corsa's policy is up

[Rysee]

Now insured by Sky, thanks Sam

[Paul]

These muppets are now threatening to cancel my policy if I dont return a modification form that I havent received for my heavily modified Vectra.

Theyre awaiting to receive my modification form, for my heavily modified Vectra, with its GM towbar as its 'modification' according to them.

Fear not SKY, I will take some picturesque photos of my tow bar, maybe one of the snow as a backdrop to it, maybe one with the sunsetting in the background a close up of the tow ball in the foreground.

Will this please them enough do you think, cause its such a good and rare modification, and definitely not a GM part, and everyone always has to fill out 'modification report form's' for their towbar. Or maybe I could take the car up in person for them to see, do you think this would satisfy them enough?

[Dan]

A towbar is a modification accepted within the insurance circles, and if one is fitted it must be declared the same as any non factory fit item, it is an additional extra fitted to the vehicle after it left the factory, whether its a genuine one or not, thus has the potential to invalidate your insurance if undeclared. Some companies may just take your word for it, others may ask for written confirmation to add to thier records, either way its no biggie in my opinion.

If the form hasnt arrived then just ask for another one, the way the postal system is screwed at the moment alot of stuff has gone walkies/miles behind time (kids letters from 'santa' should of arrived 2 weeks ago so we could sneak them into the post) so upon request of said form a bit of grace should be given from them considering the ongoing snow problems etc. They can always check back in 2 weeks to confirm if it has arrived or not.

Its nothing new and i have personally come across it a few times with other insurance companies :thumb:

[Paul]

I have some halfords replacement headlight bulbs, do you think they will require proof of these?

That is approximately how stupid the towbar request is, like for like replacement.

[Dan]

No vectra left the factory with a towbar, it would of been fitted additionally, by a dealer at request if from new. thus as a modification from the factory spec it must be declared and confirmed on a modification form if requested. i dont understand the like for like comment when it has no bearing on a towbar arguement in the slightest.

Anyway, i hope you get sorted one way or the other, im off to play in the snow with my children and have some fun :d

[skyinsurance]

All sorted Paul, my sincere apologies again for the inconvenience, your certificate of insurance is in the post.

Ollie
Schemes Liaison Manager
Sky Insurance

[Paul]

Well, had a phone call from Ollie just now, apologising for the situation.
He didnt have to ring up and apologise, so it is much appreciated and am now hapily sorted again.

Thanks again Ollie.

[draper]

do sky cover vehicles for business use aswell ?

ill be wanting to insure a second car early next year for self employment work

[LEWI007]

Could i get a quote ?

I want to know how much difference there would be to pay to insure my nova as a 1.2, and as a V6 lol

[Spudly]

Err off the top of my head id say no as youre too young i think!

[Jack]

as a V6 lol
Good luck with that lol

[Plug]

you have to have been driving for 2 years and not have over 4 convictions or accidents iirc to get a quote

[LEWI007]

Err off the top of my head id say no as youre too young i think!

There isnt an age limit but just a price though am i right ?

Maybe with a different insurer then, i did a quote and it cost only 700 pounds more.

[Spudly]

Errr not sure i thought min age was 21 with two years driving experience!





*edit*



Age limit is 19 but i was right on the two years driving experience though:thumb:

[Jack]

Maybe with a different insurer then, i did a quote and it cost only 700 pounds more.
Compared to what for the 1.2? If that was 3k to begin with then thats not too bad a price increase, I might be interested in further details as mine costs me over double over what a "standard" 1.2 would be (but then consider a 1.2 would only be about £180 for me to insure anyway.... lol).

[Nova_Sean]

That means i can try for a quote on my 306 when its due!

If you cover the BS22 postal code...

[skyinsurance]

If you cover the BS22 postal code...

Shouldn't be a problem :thumb:

[draper]

do sky cover vehicles for business use aswell ?

as above

[Andy]

as above
Yes but you have to take out a seperate policy,ie they wont swap an existing policy to a business use one

[skyinsurance]

as above

Hard to answer, we'd need more details, best bet is to call us on this one.

[draper]

Yes but you have to take out a seperate policy,ie they wont swap an existing policy to a business use one


yeah thats not a problem, its for a seperate vehicle anyay

will call early next week ollie

[BIGS]

will you be doing cheep insurance for cars that are sorn and will do zero miles and stay in a garage,driveways? Seing as i got four that are sorn but cant afford to insure them all at the normal price

[NovaLad]

When will you start to cover OL?

[Paul]

I passed yet another one of my mates onto SKY the other day, great price so he took the policy out. Wonder if they will return the favour come April when i go to insure the track car ;)

[skyinsurance]

will you be doing cheep insurance for cars that are sorn and will do zero miles and stay in a garage,driveways? Seing as i got four that are sorn but cant afford to insure them all at the normal price

No, you need 'laid up cover' which unfortunately we do not offer. If you are worried about the new insurance rules, you are aware that you do not need to insure SORN cars?

[skyinsurance]

When will you start to cover OL?

Very unlikely unfortunately, we lost so much money when we did insure in the area our underwriters will not entertain it.

[skyinsurance]

I passed yet another one of my mates onto SKY the other day, great price so he took the policy out. Wonder if they will return the favour come April when i go to insure the track car ;)

Thanks for the recommendations, much appreciated. If you are passing on our details it really will help your friend if they are also members of car clubs.

Thanks

[Andy]

lol he didnt ask that,he asked if sky would "look after him" with a decent price come april after drumming up some business for them

[Cle]

Can Sky offer good price's for young convicted drivers ? Im getting stupid quotes at the moment.

[sport]

Im sure they wont insure drivers under a certain age.

[draper]

sky were nowhere near any prices i had for my renewal, and didnt include drive any car extension

[stevenf]

Got a quote the other day for over 1100 tpft as that's all they could offer me. Got a quote elsewhere for 600 fully comp. Think I will be going elsewhere.

[Paul]

lol he didnt ask that,he asked if sky would "look after him" with a decent price come april after drumming up some business for them

Not as blatantly as that i didnt lol

I live in WN7 postcode area, will you be able to compete with classic policies? I'm 29 living in wn7 area and had a bump last year, renewal is £192?

Just wondered if its worth bothering to call.....

in all honestly, no it is unlikely we can compete with that.

I got a quote today to swap from my 325 which is modified to a standard seat Leon cupra tdi 1.9 going from 3rd part to fully comp the premium would increase by £400 or 120 to stay tpft.

Is this about right? Really thought it'd be cheaper.

I had the same tbh, swapping cars mid policy is always well loaded as you have to stay with the same underwriter which is maybe not the best for the car you're swapping to, and also you want your no claims bonus, so they can charge that little bit more for it, it cost me £120 to swap from a list of mods as long as your arm 1.2i with a 1.6GTE engine fitted (grp 11 iirc?), to a bog standard 1.9TD group 5 with HIC.

Just the way it is I'm afraid.

Hi,

in this case we have made an error, my colleague is going to phone you today to go through this again. You are right, it should have been cheaper.

£76.29
WTF
im driving a ****ty slow pug TD
the 200bhp bmw was only around £50 a month,

renewal is up, end of next month, time to shop about i think

[Adam]

Huh? /\

You know what you pay per month though before you pay it.....?

[General Baxter]

Huh? /\

You know what you pay per month though before you pay it.....?
nope lol

we need insurance, just pay it, i dont even check my bank, or statements, i only checked it as it was hanging in the letter box lol:roll:

i would of expected it to be cheaper then the beemer


edit, when i did change over the person on the phone said there would be no change

[Adam]

Who just pays there insurance and doesnt check anything? lol

Anyway, admin charge for the swap?

[General Baxter]

Who just pays there insurance and doesnt check anything? lol

Anyway, admin charge for the swap?

could be, ill find out,

theres no need to check, we need insurance, you have to pay it, only went with sky as policy ends next month, no point in wasting 11months ncb

p.s you know how i like throwing money away, its got to stop damn this house crap lol

[Adam]

I bet its just the fee to change it over then

[Jack]

Fecking hell, you are a financier's wet dream lol

[General Baxter]

indeed i am lol

[General Baxter]

all sorted, the extra is from moving house,

to a lower crime rate post code lol

[Andy]

What?!!

[General Baxter]

the extra monthly payment, was because i moved house, to a lower crime rate lol

[Andy]

Thats shyte that,when i moved house a few years back with another company,they lowered the premium.(better area)

[General Baxter]

remember that xe nova i had when i was 18 with L plates on

i lived in polesworth b78 post code,
went to a cv9, would not insure me they would insure me at b78 not cv9 as higher crime

gone from a cv9 post code back to a b78 lol

just got to wait for my renewal policy ends this month,

[Mike]

I had a good ole lengthy natter with Scott (IIRC?) at Sky today, all was going well until he mentioned they cant cover a car with nitrous oxide. That was indeed, a blow :( Other then that, its all good like.

[Stuart]

most wont cover for use on the road....

[Mike]

most wont cover for use on the road....

Well thats what I though tbh, but he kinda imposed that even if the kit is fitted with no bottle attached & I have smack on the road, it'll void the cover :S yet I dont want or need it for road use :cry:

[Stuart]

Then 'dont fit it'............. ahem.

[Jack]

Probably more to do with it being a pressurized container rather than the performance or connection aspects; if something were to pierce or heat it in a crash it could go kapowee. I guess you could argue if thats the case then carrying the likes of a camping stove could void your policy, but then thats not a permanent feature or part of the car.

What about having the kit installed but remove the bottle when on road?

[skyinsurance]

all sorted, the extra is from moving house,

According to our systems you are moving to a higher rated area.

[Stuart]

Did the rating increase when He moved there lol

[Connor]

Has Sky got a freephone number? as i dont have access to a landline (because i am at uni) and i don't have any minutes in my monthly tariff.

[Lee]

FLOL!

[General Baxter]

they have two numbers

a 0870 and a 020 lol

[Connor]

Take it there freephone numbers lol
Ignore me

[Jack]

0870 costs vary depending on your provider. 020 is a "london" number, so normal rates apply.

Just PM Ollie with your details and a contact number and he can arrange a callback to you.

[Connor]

Okay cheers for the advice Jack, i reaaaally cant afford any extra bills atm lol

[Connor]

Thumbs up for me for sky, gave me the cheapest quote :thumb:

[DEAN-DOHERTY]

Hi ollie
im 20, 21 in july
driving two years in january there
live in northern ireland bt27 4xt

a 6 weeks back(27 january 2011) some guy ran into me. he wont accept liabilty so the case hasnt really moved that far.

anyway my insuance was due for renewal in february although i dont have the nova anymore and had no car to renew a policy with

im thinking of getting a wee corsa although i have temporarily lost my ncb that i would of had, i had a year and would of been two years only this prick run into me 3 weeks before my renewal date.

someone on here told me that they renewed with sky and sky let them keep their ncb but if if a decision arises that i am at fault for the crash then sky will cancel the insurance policy.

is this true becasue lossing my ncb has sent my insuance sky high. £175 a month on a bog standard 1.0 12v corsa :(

so keeping my ncb would really benefit me as i know im not at fault for this and having my insurance go thru the roof because of some muppet has temporarily taken me off the road.

any advice on this would be very helpful. thanks dean

[Hobbit]

Just got of the phone to Sky (ver helpfull/friendly guy on the phone) and the couldn't do alot for me.

Renewal with Admiral is £490 Deposit of £41.05 plus 11 payments of £40.89
Sky got it down to about the same But With 100 and something quid deposit and 10 payments of £39

Decided to stick with Admiral and not have to pay out so much this month lol

Although that will probably come back to bite me on the **** when I try to swap my insurance onto the nova later on in the year lol

[skyinsurance]

Decided to stick with Admiral and not have to pay out so much this month lol


Careful with their installment charges.. worth checking.

Also, if it is just the deposit, I may be able to squeeze it through at a lower amount but you'll need to PM me your details.

Thanks

The premium is £400 with £90 of charges :thumb: been with them a few years now so I know what I'm getting with them.

Just dont see the point swapping for the sake of a couple of quid. Cheers anyway :thumb:

[Edd]

Why are premiums going up ?

[Spudly]

Why are premiums going up ?



Everyones premiums are going up, iirc someone told me that the government are taxing the insurance companies massively so they are passing this great 'saving' onto us:cry:



Im gutted, ive just started seieng reasonable insurance prices and theyre all about to go up, typical lol

[sport]

Why are premiums going up ?


Not sure but after shopping around got them for less than the year before.

[Novasport]

Your lucky its only gone up by that Rich, my van jumped up over £300 and my car over £450 lol


Yeah, but I am lucky if I cover 500 miles a year in the bloody Astra. Damn thing costs a fortune!

[Royston]

Just called Cassie about the Nova, managed to add Lee on with his "points win prizes" license for a respectable price. Wasn't quite as cheap as Flux, but for few quid more to stick with Sky is more than worth it in my book :cool:

Thumbsup for Sky, Thumbs down for Markerstudy.... Is it the norm to decide the 'fault' and then payout without consulting the policy holder?

[MK999]

LV did the same to me, I had to ring them to actually find out that it had been settled and closed, they didn't even bother informing me.

[MK999]

Thumbs up for sky, renewal on my TD (some places wouldn't quote due to number of mods despite it being minor stuff like interior, the yellow bits etc) comes in at £700 flat, £158 cheaper than HIC. 23, 1 years NCB, accident last year which was my fault. Impressed with the straight honest service too :thumb:

[Mazz]

Quick question Olly, i've just renewed with limited mileage, what happens if i go over?

[Yorkie]

I took it out with limited mialage and was wondering the same thing although im making a consious effort not to :)

[Mazz]

I've halved my mileage as its 2nd car and in the past 2 years its done about 2500 miles!

[Wazza024]

I should of tried sky as i think i pay to much for my age but will have to wait another year now :(

Do you cover HP15 6BJ area?

[Spudly]

Kind of put out by sky this time round, had quotes from compare the market coming in on my astra at £460 from tesco iirc, and £480 from privilege both fully comp, sky, £490 fire and theft, wont cover me FC as the astra is worth less than £2k, and found another carrier who quoted me £850 FC, seriously guys why is my insurance so high, im 30 next month!!

[blue_peg_16v]

You live in the Bronx lol

Not sure on sky's policy on milage on limited milage I know with hic they double the xs if you go over but since my xs is £75 that isn't a worry not that the loon has ever gone over.

And as for stus question yes it's the norm not to inform of resolution
