40 years old and can't get insurance????

[samir_touge]

hello there my name is samir, was going to introduce myself but first having some problems. my mum wants to be insured on the evo 8 however she is getting prices above £1500, with no claims bonus of 15 years. and the insurers that are giving her quotes are asking when you phone them up what are your previous cars. she says type r and golf gti, they reply not enough experience we can't insure you. its totally ridiculous, can anybody shed some light on this matter?

thanks for the replies. will try these tomorrow and get back to lot. i do live in birmingham do you think this will matter because keith micheal's insurance company told my mum that we don't deal with anyone from birmingham. quite rude if you ask me but what can you do.

moseley.. b13 postcode.

 

[Nick]

That is a terrible post code for insurance im afraid.

 

[evogeof]

moseley.. b13 postcode.

Never heard of it. Anywhere near that rioting

 

[samir_touge]

really... thats not good news.. i don't know what else to do, its crazy a 40 year old woman cannot even get insured with full no claims.

 

[samir_touge]

no the rioting was in in town centre mainly.. also handsworth, aston and winson green.. moseley is not that bad. not fair to victimise people just because of there postcode.

try keith michaels they did me a great price.

 

[samir_touge]

ye already tried that one mate. soon as they heard birmingham they said we are not taking any customers on from birmingham. discrimination i say.

 

[Putty]

really thats bit off

 

[Nick]

I dont think its discrimination or victimisation. Insurance is all about the risk and the statistics say that that post code is a certain risk and they feel that risk is too great.
£1500 possibly isnt that far off. It does seem a bit high for a 40 year old woman but on the other hand insurance prices have rocketed recently.
Only thing to do is try all the specialists im afraid...

all insurance companies have increased by average 30% compared to last yr. high risk area are particularly hit, these area is based on the first part of your postcode. This is unfair in my opinion.
I live in area L21-it cover a very large area with only 1 part is not too good because of that we all come under high risk
