: Insurance problems....please help!
Alex_172 13-01-2006, 15:02:51 Right, turns out the car is registered fine with the DVLA its the fact that my insurers (marks&spencers) don't have any details of a Megane 225.
Tried phoning Admiral as well and they said the same. Contacted the Renault dealer who laughed and informed us that they had sold 4 225s this week.
Called Renaults own insurers who said that they hadn't even got details of the 225!!!! What a fecking joke.
Please can you help...I need the names and if possible numbers of your insurers so I can get a quote.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

BlackRat250 13-01-2006, 15:09:12 I went through confused.com and found my megane on their fine. Confused got me a cheap quote with Admiral, again, they have my car down as a renault sport. Not a 225, which is where you might be going wrong.
The car is a Renault Megane renaultsport, Engine size 1998. I didn't mention 225 as it means nothing to them. I did the same with other insurance companies.
Phone number for Admiral is 0800 600800
Let us know how you get on.
mike_d225 13-01-2006, 15:47:31 Yep, confused for me to.
Best quote in the end was Norwich Union direct.
Alex_172 13-01-2006, 15:51:35 Right looks like I've managed it with Elephant.co.ukl
The quote went up slightly to £830 but considering it was £750 on what M&S thought was a 160bhp Dynamique thats not so bad, thats with a £300 excess.
BlackRat250 13-01-2006, 15:59:03 Mines £632.10 with Admiral.
23, 6 years no claims and my other half who is 21 with 3 points.
asmith225 13-01-2006, 17:28:31 Adrian Flux for me, if you call you'll be on hold for 3 days minimum though :(
Brasso 13-01-2006, 18:34:43 Cheapest I could find was Privilege... 795 Went everywhere as well. Bloody nightmare!
CHRISTOS 13-01-2006, 23:46:09 im with admiral found the 225 no probs had to say it was a megane renaultsport and they found it.

21, 4 years no claims and is £1100 for me and my 21 yr old girlfriend
PaulMcC 14-01-2006, 18:31:09 When I got mine last year the cheapest I could get it was £2300 - thats in Northern Ireland, I was 24 and 1 yrs no claim. I though I was doing well to get it down to £1250 this year by being over 25 and sticking the girlfriend on it.

shinyautos.com 14-01-2006, 19:42:11 I know i'm like a fart in a trance, don't know if i should go for the new shape or not..
Alex_172 14-01-2006, 21:05:09 I waited 3 months for mine so if you order now you'll get a new shape one in a fair while!!
Or you could just go buy one NOW haha. You can get a real bargain if you get one Renault already have registered!! :D
shinyautos.com 14-01-2006, 21:07:09 Decisions, decisions! :?
Alex_172 14-01-2006, 21:10:06 Just do it mate!!
Trust me the one i have just got is a stunning car and a new one is gonna take ages haha.
shinyautos.com 14-01-2006, 21:11:42 Your right there mate!...
BlackRat250 14-01-2006, 22:30:29 Ask Dean (RS Cabbie) about car insurance, he's an expert :lol: :wink:
Nick the Greek 16-01-2006, 14:42:44 If i were looking for a new 225 now i'd be looking for one of the limited edition F1 ones. I think they are lovely!
Tried phoning Admiral as well and they said the same.
Hmmmm Im insured with admiral.......No issues there at all.
Im 25, Living in North London. Got 4 years NCB / 0 points / 0 claims and paying just under £670 for the 10 month NCB booster insurance.
