Audi Insurance OMG !!

[RAPS3]

I had a call today from the dealers, just to confirm everything is ok before I collect the S3 on Saturday.

They confirmed the registration number, as I'd requested so that I could sort out my insurance cover before pick up.

Anyway they said that it was easier for them if I took the 7 day complimentary insurance that comes with the car, as it was easier for them to tax the car and ensure all was in order prior to collection.

She gave me a number to call and I gave them all of my details and waited for the call back.

As part of the 7 day free cover they asked if I was interested in the option of taking out the insurance policy with them and could they give me a quote for the year. Obvioulsy I said yes, just out of interest.

10 minutes later and I received the phone call.


As an example of other quotes I'd recieved :-

Swiftcover.com's online quote was £433, but I do need to add business cover to this quote.

Bell direct's quote was £630

How much do you think Audi wanted?
























Wait for it


£1796

I just laughed and thanked them for the "free" 7 days cover and declined the option of annualising their policy.

I cant believe they have any customers if they are charging over 3 times the amount of other leading insurers.

 

[p1tse]

may i ask what age and ncb?

 

[kaz219]

LMAOOO - What a rip!!!!

Its Audi though - you got to expect it! lol

But £433 is an awesome price!! I have to payu £1300ish an a 20 TDI because im 19

 

[tobycruse]

You think that's bad?

I'm 23, drive an S3 and have 0 ncb and 6 points ( 3 have come off now), take a guess.....













£7500!!!!

 

[Wai-Fan]

Could be worse! Audi was going to charge me 3.5k for being 19 with 2NCB on a 2.0 TDi. So chose Churchill instead and they gave me just a bit over £1300. insurance... what a rip off!

My girlfriend bought a Cayenne S 5 years ago when she was 27; but had a foreign license.

She paid £10,000 in year 1, £8,000 in year 2, £6,000 in year 3!

Funny thing is she still has the car now and it's only got 3,000 miles on the clock!

You should feel lucky Toby!

 

[kitsang]

I had the same experience. Got quoted over £2k with audi insurance and £591 with norwich union. you can guess who went with!!!

!!!!!!! Money to burn!!!!!!! :sign_unfair:

Yeah...she was going out with someone a lot better off than me at the time!

 

[warren_S5]

£384 per year for the S3!! (7yr NCB, 0 points) with Tesco Insurance - phew

Audi are delusional (again.....)

It's no wonder there are so many people driving around with no insurance. I thought I was being robbed paying £1100 TPFT when I bought a Mk1 Golf GTi as my first car. By comparison to some of those quotes that was pocket money!

 

[JohnS3]

Wasn't there some announcement this week that it's unfair to "overcharge" young drivers? So in effect everyone else gets their premium hammered instead.

 

[DaveS3Turbo]

That's bad. I pay £1500. Im 22 on my own policy. S3 2009

 

[Safenafe]

Audi wanted over £9k to insure me on my s3...needless to say i refused politely!

Something wrong mate, I pay Audi £430 for my S3.

 

[RAPS3]

It may be wrong Trev but she was quite clear with all of my details in repeating it back to me so I dont know why the diff betewwn your quote and mine is so different.

It may be the fact that I've not been insured for 16 month, but I was told that so long as it is before 2 year since the last policy it doesnt matter and the NCB does not expire within that period.

I'm 33 with 9 years NCB and 3 points (SP30) used for SDP & Minimal business use. Garaged.

That Tesco price above is even better than Swiftcover thought, so I think I'll try a quite from them.

 

[martyboy]

classic!!!

£7500!!!!

****** hell!!!! Thats a **** load of money for an S3! lol

I paid close to £900 for mine last year (was 22, 2 yrs ncb, 3 points) and Audi wanted double. Needless to say I just took the 7 days and went my own way.

Privilage just quoted me 334, 200 less than the AA for me and the missus.

 

[Flibble]

Audi only quoted me about double my best quote. Still well over the odds though...

Audi insurance was rubbish for me as well £1200, £370 from A plan - I'm 33 and 10 years ncb.
