Granturismo insurance expensive

[ratbag]

Watch out anyone with a 32/42 aspiring to move up to a GT (like I have just done) - insurance is double that of my old 4200 ever was....
Even though I am an insurers dream (semi-retired, work from home, 3000 miles a year, Full NCB, car kept in locked garage day and night, good postcode) my old 4200 was £450 in 2011 now £900 on the GT. Went throgh all the usual quotes, A plan, A Flux etc, ended up with Locktons......Aviva and Admiral came in £100 lower but decided against an "ordinary" insurance co......

Paying £900 a year for a car that spends 99% of its time locked up in my garage...........

Sad aint it....they go on value....you can afford it so you pay more....

It that because they are worth more...?.....GS about 30k GT about 50/60k.....Cost to replace if stolen maybe.

Combo of cost to fix, overall value if nicked....and increased rates generally.

All of them.....the biggest reason is because i believe is they know you have money.....

Plus a big part is where you live......

Personally I have found that all insurance quotes have gone up - a lot. My GTS I have with a broker - First Point - and have found them very effective in terms of getting the best deal (http://www.firstpointinsurance.co.uk/) I have no connection to them whatsoever!

Just looked at a quote or me out of interest...771

Mine has gone down.....by about 1/3......am not contacting them to see if they've made a mistake!!!
