Help, I was paying £500 comp on my LCR, with D-Line, the renewal is now up and the lowest I can get it to, WITH ANOTHER YEARS NCB, is........................ £1200!

I now have no insurance and cannot afford to renew,

All the comparison sites are rank, all set at £1200 ish,

Then there is Greenlight, £550 comp, great but Im skint so wish to pay monthly, but the deposits £300,...

Anyone own an insurance company??

Looks like im walking to work,,,.....

EH? Why has your insurance gone up by over 100%? Something MUST have changed drastically in the past 12months??

£1200!? Even via all the compare sites? Or is it the mods?
Tried Mod insurers, Adrian flux?

Elephant?

I've been getting quite a few quotes lately and Aviva have been cheapest for me. If you go through quidco you get an extra £50 off too.

Do you not have a credit card to pay the £500 and spread the cost over 12 months?

i got the best rate from Footman James.

Adrian flux was cheapest by about have and then I tries Footman James, they offered more mileage and much cheaper too.

Needless to say Footman James got my business.

Big big thumbs up to your good lady Jase, she's saved me over £200 on what I thought was a good price I'd been given by Footman James for my 2 coops, plus the policies have more benefits (agreed valuation, first refusal on any buy back, more mileage allowance).

Will recommend Neil Willies to anyone smile
