Car Insurance for HGV Drivers

ThrustMaster:
They don’t cover imports. I’ll stick with my specialist insurer who knows what a DC5 is.

I’m out.

nah the DC2, is nicer. wouldn’t say no to an EK9, though. but i’m up grading from an mb1 to a mc2 this weekend :grimacing:

as for insurance, paying 1600TPFT, on a honda civic auto, changing to civic aerodeck with 170bhp, for 1600 quid, the currant insurer wanted an extra 600quid to swap it over :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

MADBAZ:
A 10 yr old Galaxy :open_mouth: :open_mouth: , with 5 yr NCD. It must be the postcode as Galaxy owners on another forum have quotes for less than £300.

Where is this postcode for? Fort Apache?

I tried Adelaide and they came in £20 below my renewal quote of £190,after asking what my renewal quote was.I normally don’t tell them what my renewal is,just to see if they can genuinely beat it or just go a couple of quid below to get my business.
Ended up on a comparison site,and got it for£143.Result :smiley: :smiley:

I think they owe you some commision Harry ,I am due in june sounds like I will save a few quid thanks.

It is known locally as The Bronx :exclamation:

Cheers for the info - mine is over £500 so well worth a punt :wink:

Lucy got ours down from £500+ to £350 fully comp on a 4 month old car
and you dont need to drive for a living just use an LGV licence as part of your job as they accepted mine…

Going to give them a try when the Discovery is due as with business insurance thats over £800 fully comprehensive

I was refused any discount as i am not working as a driver … Thou they did quote me a figure without the LGV discount which was £80 more than my renewal quote … :cry:

They asked if I used the HGV as part of my job … which I do… and said thats was OK then

Don’t forget cashback sites such as Quidco and Topcashback, if you don’t use these guys.
I use a comparison site then go through TCB for even more savings.

Slightly off topic, my Home insurance cost £65 and the cashback was £55, could take up to 3 months to come through but Home Insurance for a tenner, cool :sunglasses:

will give them a ring tomorrow am with insure (who are another part of hastings) and find them terrible ok on price but everything else is terrible :stuck_out_tongue:

sorry petrol ouch

Just got my call back from them regarding a quote …
They quoted me £1000 more than I’m currently paying but did say they’d honour their deal and beat my current insurance by a pound
Don’t think I’ll bother sorting it out and changing it over for £1 …

Booked in when??:

They told me that they will beat any genuine quote by 10% guaranteed.

I just had a call from them to quote me. my renewal with Adrian flux was £605.
Adeleade quoted £571.
both companys promise to beat a lower quote so let the bidding begin!!

i spoke to a nice lady called kiara :smiley: she asked were i heard of them she said shes had loads of calls from poeple quoting trucknetuk.

Do you have to pay a deposit with these? My insurance isn’t due until dec , mine is £1090 :frowning: young drivers get raped ffs!!!

Hey! When I was your age they wanted to ■■■■ me too! Know what I did? I waited till I got older. Now quit whining kid you chose to buy insurance so ■■■■ it up!

HAHAHAHA, best laugh I’ve had all week. Subtle and straight to the point. :laughing:

Well 3 weeks after filling in the online form twice i am still waiting for a call from them.

Had my renewal from the NFU ,had gone up £100 from last year :imp: to £400 .
i compared the meercat :unamused: and came up with £300 ish for the same cover .

Rang Adelaid and was quoted £280 inc legal /breakdown cover ,and protected no claims as a bonus .
