Steve TDI Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Found this on another site!http://www.cadred.org/Forums/Thread/48606/Just tried it for my leon and it works! Don't fancy my chances of the company honouring it though!£192.94 for the year for me for my Corsa 1.6 16v. That's down for £340."add a modification, add that you have Braided Brake Hoses on your car"It's a shame i've just taken my insurance out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Kez Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) most companys have a policy on this mate so good luck getting the insurance that cheap & if you do the policy will most likely be cancelled at some point by the insurer. The usual policy is something about if prices on this website differ from the price of what the insurance should the we the insurer will reserve our rights to cancel any policy believed to be breaching this, it won't be in those words, but will be all legal in small print somewhere have noticed it says this "Been checked with a lawyer and another insurance broker that it is all legit, I'm 17 with no NCB and for a quote for £202 FC on a 2.0l SRi Vectra and iv bought a policy for my 1.4 corsa for £183.75"well done to that lad, the policy won't last for long due to what i've said above...his lawyer may have said its all legit, thats because it is... the quote was given, hes purchased it etc etc, but there will be some small print with the insurance company stopping this type of thing from happening Edited January 13, 2009 by Daz_Kez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 There is always some small fine print somewhere. I'll try it on their site and see what comes up.I've just tried my mates CL500 and that company said unable to quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep safe and don't find out what if you have a bump!!!! well yh but if i have a bump ill be insured, they cant exactly turn around and cancell it on me there and then, as ive done nothing wrong.... if they could every insurance company would turn round and cancel it when you have a crash lol Edited January 13, 2009 by _noob_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well i've just tried MoneySupermarket.com and got £287.97 with Swift Cover. No changing things, that's just what came up. I'll be taking that when I get my little Arosa. Just remember, despite the advert, Swiftcover DO NOT insure cars that are customised or modified for extra performance, DO NOT insure entertainers and DO NOT insure non UK residents (the last two apply to a certain Mr Iggy Pop). If you're planning to mod your Aroas, don't use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It sounds to good to be true. but like people have said if u answer it 100% turthfully then u are legally insured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al3x kay Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 To be honest, isurance is one of those things that you don't want to mess around with, I just take the hit these days.When I was about 19 my policy ran out with tesco so I renewed over the phone payed the monthly sum and carried on driving around. I got pulled over about a month and a half later and the Policeman asked me if I knew why I had been pulled, I said no. turns out the guy on the phone had processed the payment but no the renewal of my policy. I was made to buy new insurance there and then on the phone, then summoned to court, charged for driving without insurance 5 points and £480 fine!And there was nothing I could do about it.So now I renew early and make sure I have valid paperwork before even getting in my car!Trust me when I say it is not worth the hassle!

Gazzard Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 i know, but seeing as weve answered everything correctly, even gonna buy the brakes if i do this.... theres nothing they can do apart from cancel your policy and give you a full refund...so havent realy got nothing to lose, like i said if my insurance gets cancelled this month then im gonna do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjblyth Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am an adviser and part of my job includes giving quotes and selling home insurance policies. The quotes you will be getting are based on basic information without validility checks (goes without saying by using an automated form on a website). The comparison websites take LOADS of details so when they check each insurance company's site individually (which is what they do in 60 seconds - would you commit to buying home insurance/life insurance after a 60 second summary??) they have more information than most sites need to transfer to the insurer.Basically, the cheap quotes being displayed are probably due to information not transferring across to the actual insurance company's computers correctly - the policy would not be set in stone until you have signed (and returned) paperwork - computers cannot check these signatures, so as soon as a human being gets involved, the low quote will be picked up on and an apology letter written to inform you of an administrative error or something of sorts.Sorry to burst any bubbles, but as Heartagram said - if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

AwesomeAl Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It sounds to good to be true. but like people have said if u answer it 100% turthfully then u are legally insured.Not neccesarily.
