| MINIcover - THE best (& cheapest!) insurers |
|
Had a Cooper S for 18mths (sold a couple of yrs ago) for the wife, & insured it through MINI cover - found them to be excellent. Having discovered they would cover anything, I swapped my other car (Merc E320 cdi at the time) over to them when renewal was due... a huge saving: £700-odd became less than £500. The bottom line is not so much the premiums savings to be made, but the service, should you ever make a claim etc. Their claims proceedure is faultless (some t*@t had keyed all the way down both sides of the Merc, so big respray job). A BMW X5 courtesy car was provided (slumming it a bit, obviously  ), Merc re-sprayed at a place of my choosing etc. When calling them, you actually speak with a human being, not a machine. It seems to me that they really provide the all-too-rare best of both worlds - & for all age groups.
My D3 is of course with them - currently costing me less than £400 (20k miles p.a., fully comp & with protected NCD) - not bad for a £40k car. Admittedly, I don't have off-road cover, so I'm not sure how that would affect it. Anyone who just does on-road driving should certainly try their on-line instant quote facility - & be pleasantly surprised! Go to http://www.mini.co.uk/UK/html/finance_insurance/home.html . On the left, click on "Insurance Quote Request".
Please note that whilst this might read as if I am on commission from them(!), I have absolutely no commercial links with them at all - just wanting to pass on my good experiences to other DISCO3 forum members. DGRR

Hmmm... that IS a surprise. I know 1 or 2 young drivers (just-passed 17-yr-olds), right through to a few in their 70s that have saved loads. Oh well... DGRR
