    Insurance renewal time - what fun this is

    Have you tried Greenlight buddy? My renewal went down £70 or so this year & others on here & VAGOC have saved quite a bit too. They'll insure all areas unlike some & are easy to deal with - cheap for modded cars. First year I've not shopped around for 20 years...:yahoo: Just re-read this -...

    greenlight insurance

    Greenlight all the way for me. My renewal's just come in & is actually a few quid cheaper than last Year, even after I've gone from a std car to stage 2! They were efficient on the phones when declaring the mods and over £400 cheaper than Sky... For the first time in 20 years I won't bother...

    Insurance for modifications

    Cheers - I tried Sky on my std car before I modded up. They didn't return my call & they were £300 out when I called them again. It's always a lottery though, so I'll try them again at renewal time...

    Insurance for modifications

    Oranoco - who else covers modified parts on a like for like basis? I'm with Highway through Greenlight & they also do, but when it comes to renewal time it's good to know who's around with decent cover to ask. Much appreciated...

    Sky Quote for 2001 S3.... Waste of time if you dont have off street parking.

    I got a highish quote on the S3 recently fella & I'm just into a Merseyside postcode. However, that was after I had to call them back. I remember you didn't get a callback either. Maybe that's their way of filtering us out. OP - try all those mentioned or Greenlight - did a cracking deal for...

    Not Very Impressed

    Maybe it's our locality bud. I called from work in Liverpool & didn't get a call back either. For some reason I called them back a few days later from home, but they were way out on price. Went with Greenlight in the end, who were much cheaper for me...

    Insurance is on the up !

    +1 It's all down to personal situations, who wants you this Year etc etc but Greenlight were £200 cheaper than all the others for me & the S3 this time. £400 cheaper than the Sky Insurance quote anyway... OP - you were lucky your renewal only went up £100 this Year - Direct Line wanted an...

    Quoted £950 for Std 07 S3, 5Ncb, 32yrs, seems high?

    Finally! Greenlight quoted me happy at £557 protected :rock: Low XS, mods friendly, hire car, legal cover etc. And the company they quoted (Highway) deal with their own claims rather than hiving them off to a third party claims agency. Anyone heard of Highway insurance? :search:They've...

    Quoted £950 for Std 07 S3, 5Ncb, 32yrs, seems high?

    Agree with that. I tried Sky last week - they were £200 more than I can get from other reputable insurers. And I've tried most of 'em now... :search:

    Quoted £950 for Std 07 S3, 5Ncb, 32yrs, seems high?

    OP - £950s not bad mate for your two SP30s. It's madness at the moment. I'm in a small town, '07 S3, 14 Yrs NCB, zero points or claims, 36 Yrs old and most seem to be struggling to get under £900! That's 40% more than I paid last Year and I've had no points or claims since then! :uhm...

    Insurance - Please offer advice - 21Y/O

    :hi: Well fella- maybe not ********, but lightly shafted like all of us wanting to drive nowadays. Maybe try and find something a little lower powered until you've biutl up the no claims? If you can't show no claims, then insurers are going to be sceptical. I thought some insurers considered...

    Register Remap With Insurance Co Or Not?

    I was looking over the weekend to see what hike they'd put on my S3 with a remap. Was around £150, but that also included an "air filter". Be careful with CTM type websites. If you tick the modified bit and declare a remap, the quote I got was only slightly higher than std. However, when I...

    2008 S3 "Does not exist"??

    Got it! Mine says the same - Audi A3 2.0T S3 QUATTRO. With that & the correct reg. that's enough for me...:icon_thumright:

    2008 S3 "Does not exist"??

    I'll check my cover documents for the exact model wording when I get a chance - bit busy for next 2 days or so but will let you know as soon as poss. As long as your docs say S3 quattro (even in small, non bold letters) then that's surely the right model though? I certainly didn't have to...

    2008 S3 "Does not exist"??

    I had the same rubbish in March last Year with Direct Line when I got my 2007 S3. I did the quote etc online. Like yours, putting the registration in gave an A3 S-Line. There was an S3 option online, but it was very difficult to find amongst the others. It had also confused others at the time -...
