Help...insurance woes

(1/4) > >>

jimny33:
I have added 15inch steel wheels to my freebie to replace my 17inch alloys and they want an extra £60 on my insurance

This is stupid because it actually decreases the value of the vehicle rather than increases...i am not some chavvy boy racer putting 18 inch alloys on a saxo or whatever!

Anyone give me any advice?

gords:
Did they say why? Who is the insurance company, is it a specialist 4x4 company or a "normal" one?

You could try getting a few other quotes - and then tell the current company that you are changing unless they come up with a more reasonable price :wink:

By the way, why have you changed the wheels?

jimny33:
i changed the wheels so i could put some ATs the 17inch rims werent cutting it on the tyre front  :D

Also at 150 quid a corner i couldnt afford to replace them should they get a puncture  :shock:

Sounds like a 'lets use this as an opprtunity to fleece the customer' situation to me.

I agree with the above. Get some competitive quotes from specialist insurance companies and then go back to your current insurer.

3laner:
Who insures you James? Sounds like they are taking the p*ss a bit. Was the 60 notes just for the wheels because you mentioned they wanted 50 for the sump guard. Does that mean they want 110 for both?? I would ring up speak to a supervisor and explain that it is a downgrade and you are not a boy racer etc.
