Got my qoute through the post today its gone up No Way

But up £12 is this some kind of record ?

[flat out]

Try elephant.co.uk - my insurance has dropped by 20% this year

[Paul_Cooper]

CIS insurance is also worth considering,

I'm only 19 and i pay £900 a year for my 05 cooper. Think thats quite a good deal.

[GTT 280]

I had an MCS and was insured at a certain value.
Just got an MCS JCW and am now charged 10% less.

work that one out then !!

[gezmedinger]

Cooper S Works, who are you insured with now? I've found elephant are great in London but not sure how they'll take to a JCW conversion!

[Shaun]

E sure I did the shopping around they were much cheaper than who I was with before cant remeber who. It was £800 last year and they have just quoted me £812 so I can start shopping.

Think ill save up for a works conversion it might pay for itself after a few years

MINI UK insurance quoted me £80 more on my renewal after 1 years custom. I moved to admiral and saved £200 on my Cooper S

[DonkeyD]

I was with Elephant prior to getting my MCS. When it cam to renew having changed to the Mini it was much higher that the Golf GTI I had previously. I ended up going with Privilege (online) who were significantly cheaper than Elephant.

My insurance goes up most years last year was the first year with the S it cost me so much to upgrade for about 3 months cover I think it was roughly the same as upgrading from a 1275i classic to a One for 10 months.
Then the quote of £1000 came in and I fell over Esure were the best at £800.

[miniboyblue]

I'm with E Sure guys on a MCSC with JCW that cost less than my MCS (without JCW) !!

[joebickley]

Man i did well then.

I noticed from ur profile that ur 31 years young and ur paying £800!?

Im 24 and pay £640 got full no claims but also 3 points (oops)

[Shaun]

That Hyper Blue looks good think I need another Blue car my last two were blue.

Its an odd thing insurance when I first insured a car £440 998cc Mini in Leigh I got it down to about £200 by moving to my wifes (girlfreind at the time) parents house. They lived about 5 miles away but it had a WA postcode. This was cheshire one of the better areas for insurance. I then moved to Oldham and had to pay £120 to keep my policy for just 6 months.
I should have guessed what would happen when I got an S.
Another slight problem http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1354777.stm try having that on your postcode as well as being in dreaded Greater Manchester.
I will keep you all up to date with the ensuing battle.

I was with esure until my MCS was converted to a JCW earlier this year. At that time esure then refused to recognise it at all and I had to cancell my insurance and take out alternative cover with Direct Line.
Only required a very small increase in premium.

[kezman50]

Just renewed my insurance with Tesco for my 54 MCS with 3 points - premium £531 always been happy with Tesco premiums....and consider this, my wife is on the insurance and she is a fully speced 22 yrs with.......with chrome bits !!

[ArmyDog]

I am here in Korea and pay only $500 a year for full coverage with $100 deductable

[Shaun]

Got a quote for 652 tonite 710 with protected no claims thats still 102 cheaper

Be careful with elephant because if your mcs gets written off or stolen they will only pay out for a standard mcs, they don't pay out for modifications, thats including the chili pack.

[Jaffa Racer]

[Jaffa Racer]
