Classic Insurance...

Well,i'm looking into getting a MK2 GTi..but i'm not looking forward to the insurance quotes....so i thought what about classic Insurance?Would a MK2 GTi qualify for it?And do you have to meet a certain criteria (over 25,been driving for X amount of years etc) or not?

when i looked the car had to be over 25 years old and the driver over 21 or 25 depends where you call tbh

try footman james, they wernt great for me (wernt the worst) but ive heard good things when nosing on beetle forums etc lol

well i sold my mk2 gti to a m8 and he managed to get semi classic insurance on it

Semi classic?
So half the car was classic and the rest was modern?
lol

yea dont quite know how it worked but thats what he told me he got cauz he didnt pay that much insurance on it and he was 21 at the time

think thats what footman james were on about with me, it would be semi classic, because i was under 25 but because it was semi classic they wouldnt take my no claims

i think my r5 is on a classic policy with these HIC

hodge that sounds anout right i think if i remember i think it was only if you did as certain mileage aswell like 3000 a year or summit

also try brentacre, but hic i am with also

best quote so far is 1300 with Flux direct
but they want a deposit
GRRRR

of course they will want a deposit if your paying in instalments.

i have not told you this nor do i condone it but:-

miles under 4k = V low premiums = nor do i condone mileage fraud to keep the miles below 4k for the duration
not using the car to commute to work (SDP not SDP+C)= low premiums
no mods = low premiums
adding an older more experienced female driver to the policy (especially if an admiral group insurer) = low premiums


classic car polices are usually for those who pull them out to drive once or twice a year and already have a daily policy so to speak - also if your using the car to go to work you WILL NOT BE COVERED if the commuting part of the policy is not included...

for the car you describe, nothing major in the way of mods i think your best tinkering with compare the meerkat or the like.


OWE..... do you have commuting on your R5s policy?

a few places don't want a deposit...

lol its been so long since ive payed by instalments TBH ha - i remember the old AXA insurance never used to.

infact AXA used to be dirt cheap, think the Motorvehicle branch went bust tho

yeh i got commuting but ive signed a limited milage decleration of 6k only done 3k so far tho lol an its up in 3/4 months

that soon... holy shiznit

i also have a limited miles policy, but i never signed f**k all like... (but you and i know ive not gone over my 3k a year)
