I have just had my insurance renewal through for a massive £630!!!!! Last year it was £520 and considering that I moved house 3 months ago and got a £17 refund and now have 2 years no claims instead of one something isn't quite right. I have tried a few in the yellow pages and got down to £585 with the AA, does anyone have any other ideas. (11/99)
The MX-5 Owners Club have an insurance scheme with Aon Insurance Services. You have to be a member of the club to be able to get this cover. The direct number for a quote is 01384 552660 (12/02)
Try Privilege and Admiral (11/99)

I settled in the end with Barclays ( yes the bank! ) for £670 and 100 excess. their number is 0870 600 1414.

Policies vary, and so do the prices, look around, everyone is different, but give these a go, you never know ?! (11/99)

Other good ones, were Hyperformance , sterling ins (part of Adrian Flux) (£592 ex 350) and Hastings direct.

NB. You can also arrange the full RAC package through Barclays for only £30 ( normally over 100 ! ) (11/99)
Try www.eaglestardirect.co.uk. However, I ended up insuring my car with Privilage Ins (0113 2925555) (11/99)

HASTINGS DIRECT 0800 221066

AON 01384 552880 (11/99)
A company that I don't think I have seen mentioned so far in the chat about Insurance is AXA Direct. They are the ones who have consistently come up with the best quote for me. (11/99)
I've been with Aon for 5 years with classic cars and they always preferred/required you to belong to an owner's club - I guess they figured you'd look after your cherished possession better (some logic to this). As they've now moved to covering some modern cars as well they probably apply the same logic. (11/99)
You could give QuoteWizard http://www.quotewizard.co.uk/ , the quote I received from them was over £1000 cheaper than others I have been given. (11/99)
Performance Marque 0121 248 0911 .. heavily modified cars are only touched by Norwich Union through an agent such as above. (11/99)
There's a list of insurers on the Wessex Area MX5 Owners Club site (http://mx-5.org/wessex) which may help. (11/99)

I know the insurance saga goes on and on but anything that saves "5" enthusiasts money can't be bad.

I have just renewed insuarance on my 5 through Footman James of Birmingham tel:- 0121 561 4196.

After hearing all the horror stories I came clean about it being an import and was pleased to be told that they accept imports on the same terms as UK spec. Fully Comp, me and wife to drive, social domestic and pleasure (plenty of that) plus full business use for me

Only 239.40

But I am an old git with max. protected no claims and no endorsements. (11/99)

I'm about to purchase an MX5 (as soon as I find a good example). As my current car is worth so little, I am considering keeping it to use as a bad weather (i.e. snow/salty roads) and to carry stuff around. I am looking for a dual car insurance policy as I am the only driver of both vehicles I don't really want to be paying for 2 seperate policies. I know some while ago some companies were offering good deals. Anyone had any luck in this area? I shouldn't have to pay twice the insurance surely? (9/00)
I got both mine through the admiral. They did both cars and allowed me to use my single car no claims over the 2 seperate car policies. The only one I found that would. They were cheep too, haggle with them and the price will come down. (9/00)
Churchill do too. However you have to have at least 3 years "no fault" claims, regardless of whether or not you have full NCD for them to apply your NCB to both policies. (9/00)

For all you girls out there, if it's time to renew your car insurance, try diamond insurance - they're for women only. My insurance is due mid month, and I was quoted 679 by my current insurers (Eagle Star). I've had a load of other quotes from the usual sources, which were all around the 950 mark... I called Diamond Insurance and they've quoted 450. My details were female 31, mx5 1.8is, 13 years full uk licence, central london location, on street parking, 5 years protected no claims, one claim in the last 3 years. I called the guys at AON afterwards to get another quote and they said I shouldn't even bother calling anyone else because I'd never get a lower quote. (12/01)
