NU Direct- Quoted me happy -£262 Oct RS

RSOct22 · 04-02-2004, 21:37

As the title says ; £262 comp, 6000 miles, self (43) and wife , 5 yrs ncb, no points.
This was actually down from last year by £30. First time my ins has dropped in recent year. Gave me an extra 5% discount from renewal figure as i will change my contents ins to them.
Worth a call.
ps only for std cars

Bloody Hell! NU didn't quote me happy - try £1800 fully comp!

262 that's amazing - I presume you have to keep it in an armoured underground bunker at night to get that sort of quote!

Reducing the annual mileage has a big affect on your premium.....basically if your not on the road as much then there's less risk of making a claim.

Still a good quote though........I remember the days when NU required there own specific alarms to be fiited...anyone remember the Cobra NU1?

Grab it, they must have cocked up big time or changed their rates dramatically

Im a few years older than you, Max no claims, (20+years) Clean Licence + Wendy on the policy, I think I said something like 10000 miles & at the middle of last year they quoted about £600 for the Octy 4x4 as std. As soon as I started listing mods they took it as a licence to print money.

They probably quoted you happy as now have sacked their uk staff and now have cheap labour call centres in india.

I'm not being racist or anything here but they are useless when I had to ring up my insurance when I crashed I had some idiot who could hardly speak English on the other end it was a nightmare!!!!!! This country is going loopy la la i tell you

RSOct22 · 05-02-2004, 19:42

Ta for the smiley.
btw - Swinton and the AA were both about £500 unlimited mileage and Direct Line kept me in their queueing system for 15mins, so i got fed up with that and snapped up the NU quote before thay changed their minds!
Is this the cheapest ever RS Octy quote around?

Got to be. I'd have been interested to know what LV's quote would have been though.

Does that include protected NCD, Legal Services, courtesy car in the event of an accident, and employer's business use, and what is the compulsory excess?

RSOct22 · 05-02-2004, 20:16

Might try LV when I'm bored. Just so you know, the NU deal includes courtesy car and legal cover with a voluntary excess of £500 as i certainly wouldnt make any ins claim below that for all the agro and ins hikes that would follow.

***DGW*** · 05-02-2004, 20:19

Thanks for that, Steve. I changed from NU Direct to LV when I had my car remapped by Jabba. LV's cover is less restrictive and includes more cover, eg foreign use and legal services, without charging extra for those.

***ncarring*** · 06-02-2004, 11:21

Didn't try NU direct because of my mods but rang L V today and am now another of their happy Octavia customers - £373 all in fully comp, class 1 business, unlimited mileage, etc. etc. etc..... Had to tell them about mods - but as everyone else has said - not interested! Bargain!

This was a saving of around £190 from my renewal through Greenlight - nice guys, but they can't match that!

RSOct22 · 06-02-2004, 17:58

Hi Nick - thats a great quote for a modded RS. If ever i get round to mods (as the car is now mainly used by wifey -and she doesn't really need any more power for the 8 mile commute), that will be where i go.

If "quoting me happy" means making me laugh like a drain, then they did it for me! They quoted me £550 for the Omega. I went to Elephant.co.uk in the end, who got it down to £380 -including European cover!
