    As long as you cancel within the "cooling off period" the charges should be no-where near £115. ~ All they should charge you for is the time car is on cover [ie £400 premium divided works out at approx £1.10 per day? !grr ], no cancellation charges etc as still in cooling off period. !lol !lol The insurers should also be willing to send out specimen policy documents but some insurers will add clauses due to highly classed cars [such as the VR] which will not be shown on the specimen policy- but thats why there is a cooling off period so you can read and understand exactly what will and

    Alternatively if your still struggling for a reasonable quote, try and find an insurer that is willing to accept your company car insurance record as a proof of being a good driver 8) [assuming you have a good driving record ?!]. I was on a company policy for over 5 years and called round looking for private quotes and some insurers will be willing to accept a letter from your company or the company insurer as proof of no claims. Not guaranteed, but it worked for me with Norwich Union [after some debating] who at the end of the year policy gave me 5 years Ncd.

    Fuel Prices

    gloster replied to jaysVR6's topic in General Chat

    Gutted. Just paid 95.9p a litre for standard unleaded. Optimax was 101.9p a litre which doesn't sound too bad compared to some of you guys. I know alot of this has been caused by the hurricane taking out most of the refineries linked to the gulf of mexico but didn't Pres Bush release billions of barrells of oil from the US reserves to ease the burden this was causing? Lots of greedy people out there taking us for all they can get in my humble opinion. ~ ~ Talk of fuel protests starting on the 18th September at 6.00am, online at the moment. I know its not the ideal answer but someones gotta do

    Sounds like a very good policy, which is great news. Doesn't look like the value will be any problem at all with the certificate. Ref the service history, i did mean copies. Deffo worth getting quotes on the work if you don't fancy having a go at it yourself, garages working via insurers will aways charge the earth because of the guaratees the garage has to give the insurer to keep the contract as an approved repairer...

    Like i say it depends alot on the policy you have and without knowing the exact terms and conditions its difficult to know. You say you have an agreed value but has the car been viewed by an engineer at the policy start to confirm its "agreed" value?, the majority of underwriters will simply work from a "parkers" style guide price for the motor industry, working on a top and bottom price dependant on the mileage, condition etc etc [are your mods covered on the policy for instance? know they aren't on some policies?]. Just to try and reassure you, i have known insurers raise there original of

    Absolutely gutted for you. ~ !sad Shivers are still going up and down my spine just replying to you. Work in the insurance industry [no boo's please[! ] i'm starting to think i'm one of the few insurance advisors that actually gives a damm.[!! !grr ??] Ref what you should do next i'd hang fire and see how much the insurers actually offer you, its unlikely to be the 5k figure mentioned depending on your exact policy and the engineer dealing with your claim, take a look into the full ramifications of the car being an uneconomical writeoff [cat c or d i believe] but i think this will proberly
