    The great big insurance rip off

    Hi Les, Thanks for the further thoughts re insurance, I have tried reducing annual miles from 10000 to 8000 and also have my wife as a named driver. She is the same age group as me so that doesn't help. I have also increased the excess from £250 to £500. Churchill was one of the 8 companies that...

    The great big insurance rip off

    Hi Les, Thank you for your comments, unfortunately you raise yet another issue re the economics of EV ownership. I accept that the resale value of my car is around £14k, this means that in 23 months the value has dropped by almost £20K or about £870 a month. A very expensive luxury to have...

    The great big insurance rip off

    You are quite right about travel insurance, my current 12 month Europe is just over £800, I shudder to think what the renewal will be in a couple of months time.

    The great big insurance rip off

    After most of the day scouring sites and taking phone calls, the best quote I could get was Admiral for £966.63. No one else under £1000. They could not quote me more than 10 days ahead rather than the 23 days requested. I almost got a better deal from them by adding my house insurance, car...

    Can you chaps tell me who has the best INSURANCE deals for BEVs?

    I am trying to get a reasonable quote for my MG5 bought in May 2022, insurance expires 26 May 2023. The quotes I have so far from the leading comparison sites + Direct Line, RIAS SAGA etc vary from £905 to £2055. I tried FLOW as mentioned above, but they refused to quote. I guess it might be...

    Forced change of Dealer.

    Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Several comments from Waylands, Oxford, but nothing there from the other two.

    Forced change of Dealer.

    The dealer that sold me my MG, JB Motors, Banbury, no longer has a MG franchise. The nearest options to me are Oxford MG, Cumnor Hill, Perrys MG in Aylesbury, or Eden in Swindon. Does anyone have any experience with these companies? They are all some distance away and not easy to access by...
