Insurance

Hi all - I know there have been other conversations about Insurance (and indeed the perception that some companies are refusing to quote for Grenadiers).

Just received my renewal: fully comp / protected no claims / no claims for years / one driver / approx 8k miles / £750 excess etc. £606.80

How does that compare?

Rumour has it that we even have Police officers! Not seen one for months. Most recent? At a Laphroaig evening - live bands in the courtyard etc.

Hi Tony, thanks for this. If you don't mind me asking which company is the £606 quote from please? I'm guessing the theft risk is zero, as you just need to phone CalMac and get them to look out for one

Nope. None of those. We don't even have roundabouts, pay n display or parking nazis.

Sounds like a good deal Tony - I am just coming up for renewal with Admiral (multicar and Gren is on van insurance). I am 40% more than you but we do have roundabouts here! Also I couldn’t apply my 15+ yrs no claims last year as I still had my D4. Have sold it now so asked to apply it this time but still waiting for an answer; hopefully that will reduce the premium a bit.

Just remembered… a couple of years back, at the Islay Festival, a motorhome was stolen at a distillery open day. Keys left in it , found three days later tucked away in the dunes - three inebriated foreigners living in it!
