Hi everyone, been a member on here for a while but not really posted much so thought it was about time i did.
I got my ins renewal through for my this week from Direct Line which was £775. I'm 24 with 5yrs no claims and 3 points on my licence so thought it wasn't too bad but could be cheaper. Had a go on that Tesco Compare website and managed to get the price down to £392 with Privilage. Nearly half price.
So i phoned up Direct line told them i wanted to cancel from the end of my policy and they did the normal, you are a good customer why are you leaving rubbish. They asked what i'd been quoted by other companies, so i told the price i got from Privilige. The guy on the phone didn't even think about it and just said they would match it! Put me on hold for 2mins and came back with the exact same price but with guarenteed car hire on top.
Thought it was an Absolute joke and proves how much insurance companies are robbing us blind. To be fair i agreed there and then but just wanted to show everyone that it is true, if you shop around and haggle then you can get your insurance for a lot lot less.

i did the same , tesco and direct line are he same company and price mathed, lol, but wiit my rx-8, a lot of compainies refused to insure me and so i had to go with adrian flux at 1150...ohwel lol

£1150!!!! theres a few years worth of nappies lol
how much did you pay on your ST?

lol yeah true, but not too bothered lmao

It does always help, Sometimes i just made up a random amount and see if they could match that. 9 times out of 10 they can. It is a joke as most of the time people don't even claim on their insurance so the companys make loads of money.

Given you a little green 'o' aswell as you haven't got one.

I'm sure it could be possible but i can't, Scotty would be the one to let you know if its possible or not.

lol, could you ask him lol seen as ur a mod with mor 'power' lmao

Privilage are underwritten by directline - so I am not surprised that they matched the quote. I did the same but instead of getting another company to match i used Quidco.com and got £100 cash back,as that was what they offering at the time, taking my insurance down to £219. They are still doing cashback at £70 for privilage, but the trick is to get the tesco quote (as its cheaper than going direct), save it and then re-log on via Quidco or one of the cash back sites.

well well, its ST renewal time! the good lady has shopped around online after the renewal quote dropped in this morning, £497.50p from our current peeps at adrian flux.
after her spending an hour getting quotes from various companies privilege came in at...................£301 fully comp!!! get in!! tesco took the piss with £820 naughty tesco.

But you do get a free pressure washer!

lol i can live without it!!! that extra £500 i saved on tesco's quote i could buy a few pressure washers

I've just renewed mine with Tesco, £340 doesnt seem too bad, but then again I have full no claims etc etc so its probably about right.

There's no way I would pay some of the prices you younger owners are paying here just to own an ST, completely not worth it.
