Hi there,
My ban is up shortly so I have just contacted my original insurer (Sheilas wheels) who, at the time of telling them I had been disqualified for being drunk in charge of a vehicle for 6 months, had said it would be ok when insuring after the ban, now they say they cant insure me as it is treated as a new policy and not within their underwriting policy..that is fine..
I therefore clicked the link from this site and was called back by a helpful lady from Think, she went away and came back with cover for me as follows:
I have 16 years no claims bonus, I am 45, female and drive no more than 6000 miles a year... I have a Mercedes CLC 180 sports coupe...
The initial cost was £371 per annum, I was paying £299 previously but unbeknown to me my old policy didn't cover me for business use and although I am based from home I go out and see clients sometimes... so I asked the lady to requote to include this..
The premium came back at £367 with Aviva... DR40 drunk in charge code......
This is fully comp with an excess of £350 though, legal cover, windscreen, courtesy car, fully comp whilst my old policy was £299. Another Company via here quoted £400.
I have therefore started the policy in readiness and already have my certificate of insurance. I liked dealing with Think they were very helpful.
