sheila is 62 ( nearly 63 ) and her only blemish is a wonker ( deliberate missprint ) ran into the back of her last year ....... and he wasnt insured

Direct Line did this to me mate, but I managed to stick with them and get better quotes. Try putting you as the main driver, and her as the named driver....do it online....

Have you tried Saga?, I tried them, and mine came down to £245 a year and that's for a Maverick 93 TD

briggie · 19-03-2011, 13:20

ok , after a long protracted phone call to the insurance company, the reasons they gave for the increase in premium......

car has tinted windows to the rear which are counted as a modification

car has had rear seats removed , which also counts as a modification

car has had factory fitted a bar removed ..guess what ? ... which counts as a modification

if i remove the tinted rear film and replace the rear seats the premium will drop to around £790 per year.

fuffin stoopid innit ?

should have just told them it was standard lol

Direct Line is NOT the place to be with a truck like that. They are looking for solid, middle-class reliable business and will whack anyone/anything that isn't.

Adrian Flux would probably do a better deal than that frankly....all that 'mod' stuff is bollox. But (i) the fact it is an import doesn't help, and (ii) even though the accident wasn't her fault, as I've said before, the insurance companies automatically stick your risk up so your base premium increases, even if your percentage NCD remains the same.
