I need a van so started looking at costs
insurance ......
Brand new £32k S3 fully comp with Stg 1 declared.....£375
4 year old van worth £7k at a push !...................... £1580 !!

50 years old living on lowest risk area.

No wonder people dont want to start businesses or insure their motors
 
I know, it's crazy. I was trying to get insured on my dad's N-reg Vauxhall Combo 1.7d, to use for going to the gym, and i was getting quotes of treble what my dad was paying.
 
I had this happen to me paddy looked into a Mitsubishi l200 pickup on my A3 it's £980 for my age and d
So forth, pickup £6000 how can they justify that??

Pay me to sell the S3 and buy a Freelander and a trailer, just need to be able to move the odd motorcycle about and parts. Totally crazy !!
 
You guys need to shop around! I pay no way near that on my van (vivaro)! Although it's a bit more because it's a commercial insurance so the cover is slightly different as there is more risk.

Direct line smashs everyone hands down for me, think I pay around the £600 mark, same as my s3.
 
got my van (2012 Mercedes Vito) with the same as the S3 and get second car discount so doesnt work out too bad...
