I've just had the same "fun" with my insurance company. Moved insurance from a 97 reg BMW728 to my newly purchased MV6 3.0 estate and Mr insurance man tried to increase the price from £693 to £900 for the same cover type. It took several phone calls and haggling over a 3 day period and then me finaly asking to cancel the whole policy before they offered to keep the policy price the same as before. Boc's all of them Angry I have found that post codes play a very big part in whole big rip off process.

I'm also in my 30s with a clean licence, and with 1yrs NCB (my NCB is on my other cars policy sadly, so this is after 'mirroring' the NCB over last year) it still costs me £615 to insure the Elite - that's TPF&T too!

I'm sure it's all part of a ploy to get us to trade in/crush old cars and buy something new instead, which would undoubtedly be cheaper to insure.

I insisted my insurance company give me full NCD on my 2nd car when I first got it. After about 30mins negotiation, they agreed - though that was around 4yrs ago. So I now have full NCD on both 'my' cars and Mrs TB has full NCD on hers as well.


That's precisely what I was expecting; more fool me for not checking at the time, I suppose.

If I was keeping all three cars I'd go get one of those personal fleet policies - £1200 for the three as opposed to £1100 for two makes sense. But then I'm not intending to keep all three cars (assuming I actually get off my ass and fix the Nissan) Smiley

I had exactly the same problem and ended up going with Tesco's who weren't the cheapest but would accept your company car driving record as NCB. Then the next year after I had my NCB confirmed as NCB I went somewhere else. As they say in the as 'Simples'!!!
