Car insurance - guess the price

[djbobbins]

I got a quote today for re-insuring my wife's Nissan Note shopping trolley, from the price comparison website that uses the Iranian standup comedian for its advertising (don't know if I'm allowed to mention specific website names).

 

It's a standard car, 1.4 petrol, basic model. My accident history is clear but my wife had a no fault accident last year.

 

Cheapest quote was just under £300 fully comp, protected NCB etc.

 

Anyone want to hazard a guess on what the highest quote was, for one year's cover?

 

No prizes but it might be worth a laugh...

£1200

£650?

[dandkgroundcare]

£2500.00

[djbobbins]

Higher than all of those, much higher!

Sure they weren't quoting to sell you another one?

£2,900 and you get a higher car with a full tank of fuel if yours is broken

[djbobbins]

I'll tell you, just so you can all say what I said when I saw it (which started with what the...)

 

It was £100,554.

 

Yup, you heard it here folks, over a hundred grand to insure a £5k car for a year, with 5 years no claims!!

 

I kid you not, I looked and re-looked at it thinking my eyes were deceiving me, and even got one of the guys that works for me to check it as well.

I think you should ask them for a third party quote,that sounds a bit over the top!
