Mini turbo insurance!?!
Turbo Mini Forums

hi,

just wondered if anyone could suggest good insurance companies?
Im 19 nearly twenty and have two years no claims currently using my 998cc mini but hopefully will have the turbo project on the road before summer!

best quote so far from HIC - advertise in minimag etc
still had some ludacrious quotes though.
any help much appreciated!

cheers ian

out of interest wot was your qoute?(roughly)

i aint really tried getting qoutes...

there was a thrad on this a few days back... do a search

ok... just hes similar age and 2 no claims etc...and iam being lazy!lol

yeah sorry I should have done a search really!
in response to b16_b I got quoted ?434.30 comprehensive (but not allowed to drive other cars) that is on a 1982 998cc with alloys declared. I said I would be changing to a 1275 later in the year and they wanted a couple hundred more i think.

ok..cheers...mate

For 19 yrs old that is a pretty good quote as far as I am concerned, especially fully comp.
HIC are widely acknowledged as the best prices going for modified stuff/younger drivers so I doubt you will do any better than that.

ive give up getting qoutes for a while as insurance companys have lots on record for me and dont want to bug them for a while..lol

me thinking get the turbo road worthy and stick low cc engine with all my cars to be cheap for fuel etc...over the past few months been into me novas and r5 turbos as second car but now more the r5 turbo but got few months before sort second car.

I've got a couple of companies left to try in minimag, i did think it was a good quote, but just thought i'd check incase!

I can't wait to get my turbo on the road! costing an arm and a leg though i tell ya!

I must have got a bargain on insurance.
On my Turbo mini, which is really modified, rollcage, engine transplant, bodykit, alloys etc I'm paying ?275 fully comprehensive and I'm only 21 with 6 points on my licence, all declared.

majic mini can i ask who that is with?
ta

?275 is surely wrong. I pay ?200 on my N/A mini with all mods declard with 3000miles limited and on a clasic policy. Its a second car and I have 7+ years no claims, oh and I'm 30.

Is this another aprill fool??????? I think so.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

Thats with Adrian Flux, that is my annual premium that I have just paid, thats with 67% No Claims. It's all about haggleing. Mine is mile limited to 1000 miles, give or take a little.

CIS wanted ?330 3rd Party Fire and theft.

Thinking about it, they insure me on the mini with my no claims etc on the mini for ?275, then they insure me on my everyday car, my Calibra for ?800 fully comp, maybe its a cheaper deal for me because they insure both my cars?

maybe so mate, adrian flux weren't that good for me, but I am a few years younger! cheers anyhow.

Insuring two cars with the same company on different policies can work out cheaper.

The reasoning being that you can't be driving both of them at once!!!

but you can drive one into the other!!!

Now I see. That is exactly how I have my cars done. My Elise and mini are with flux. this make the mini quite cheep. I have found in the past that after a certain number of mods the insurence does not change. The 1000 miles limited saves loads too.

No hope for me then getting a better deal for limited mileage. I do 1000 miles a month just to and from work.

its not that far neil is it?!?

lol...i thought it was 10000...1000miles a year! i used to do 300 a car cruise day!

ive owned my 205 gti 2 months and have only done 500miles in it....

wouldn't it be a shame if you got limited mileage to 1000miles and then your speedo drive "accidentaly" fell off when you were near your 1000 miles

only joking of course, i dont think anyone should do it.
lol

be a dam shame if you crashed with it off! or do they fall off ..lol

il prob pay any price aslong as its insured...payed all that money into it so why go low on the insurance of your pride and joy...sometimes you have to shop around and just pay for wot you can get cover wise...
