Or was it on the web site i cant remember.
It’s fair enough if you think about it, if you’re a tramper, away all week, you probably only drive your car for a couple of hours per week.

He doesnt choose to buy it he has to have it by law, why should he ■■■■ it up I used to live in London my premium went up from £396 to £1100 … I [zb] them off they claimed it was because of accidents, i said I have full no claims and never had a car accident in 18 years of driving a car they said its the area you live in you are paying for others.
do what I did say you live at your sisters out of London or where ever you are from and go home 3/4 days a week, amazingly i paid £248 when I did that!!
Just realised that my insurance was renewed this month so will bear it in mind for next year. Having said that, I ‘only’ pay £280 fully comp so it may not save me anything substantial anyway.
Pete.
Think my insurance is june so i’ll give them a bell, ive been jumping ship the last few years because my renewals quotes are a ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■ ie no change of address no accidents and they stick it up a 100quid. On yer bike!

Explain that.

‘Classic cars’ …
Renewed mine with Adelaide and saved £80. About time an insurance company realised that hgv drivers are highly unlikely to have a smash.

Its not higher or lower
Adelaide have a few departments and one is strictly for IAM members so they can get favourable insurance rates
If both LGV and current IAM member (IAM membership number req) then mention you have both because it may be a double saving
windrush:
I wonder if they will insure ex drivers who still hold an HGV licence or do you have to name a company employing you?Pete.
+1 for a mate.
He used to be a PSV driver though and has had to surrender his PSV part of his licence on medical grounds. 
I’ve told him about Adelaide and he wants to know if they insure motorbikes too??
They don’t cover imports. I’ll stick with my specialist insurer who knows what a DC5 is.
I’m out.
Wow,only just joined the site and this info has took my insurance down from £500 TO £350 
I took the breakdown cover as well at £25 half price,my previous wanted £79 for the same cover.
Thanks again

They do require that you are driving for a living … 
Got my renewal through yesterday from Tosco, £1250 up from £890 
(they must’ve seen my cone 
) , including all the add ons. Rang Adelaide and they’ll beat any quote by 10%, atm I’ve got Tosco down to £990 with Adelaide guaranteeing to beat it and with slightly better terms (no excess for windscreen repair, european b/d cover)

What the ■■■■ are you insuring a Ferrari?
A 10 yr old Galaxy , with 5 yr NCD. It must be the postcode as Galaxy owners on another forum have quotes for less than £300.
