MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - ZS 180 insurance quotes.

Right, the renewal on my ZS 180 is due, i am currently with Lancaster (MGOC) and felt that last year they were too expensive (but didn't have a choice at the time due to an ongoing claim with my F) at £1126.65

This year, the renewal is cheaper at £927.15, but i still feel this is expensive, so i have done some shopping around and come up with an incredible range of quotes, details below:

Oh, i'm 32 years old, with 1 years NCB, £150.00 XS

Renewal (Lancaster) £927.15

Elephant.co.uk £736.00
Bell Direct £740.25

Peter Best (AXA) £1115.63
Peter Best (Allianz Cornhill) £1215.63
Peter Best (Allianz Cornhill) £1265.63
Peter Best (Allianz Cornhill) £1333.31
Peter Best (Allianz Cornhill) £1388.11
Peter Best (Allianz Cornhill) £1460.09
Peter Best (Chaucer) £1519.35
Peter Best (NIG) £2293.22
Peter Best (NIG) £2359.58
Peter Best (NIG) £2360.11
Peter Best (NIG) £2429.89
Peter Best (Norwich Union) £2678.71
Peter Best (KGM) £3288.60!!!!!! :-O

Norwich Union £1254.97

Elephant and Bell Direct are part of the Admiral group (Admiral wouldn't quote, i assume because i had already visited elephant and bell direct).

I was expecting a range of figures, but was not expecting a £2552.60 difference between the best and worst! This is just ridiculous, no one is going to spend a third of the cars' value on one years worth of insurance.

So, there are savings to be had on my renewal, around £200.00 which isn't to be sniffed at. My question is, should i try anyone else? Do you have an recommendations?

Andy, I get my insurance from Peart. They quoted me the same price for the ZS180 as the F that it replaced!

Make sure that you tell them that you're a member of MGCC or MGOC, if that is the case. This will significantly reduce the premium.

Cheers Ralph, they don't do an automated online quote, rather you fill in the form and they send you one out. I'll see what they come up with.

Hi Andy,

Try eSure, www.esure.co.uk
I've got the F and ZS under them and the total is less than £1100 for both :)

Cheers
Coops

Esure won't insure me, due to the accident last year in the F. Cheers anyway mate. :-)

Got a reply from Peart though = £885.00 (£350.00 XS though)

Still not too bad, Peart move into the number 3 spot, behind elephant and bell direct, but ahead of the MGOC and Peter Best.

Got a result then peeps. The winner was:

A-Plan Insurance Group
37 Upper George Street
Luton
Beds
LU1 2RG

They came in with a quote of £700.00 flat, so this is where my money is going. Spoke to the MGOC to cancel my renewal and gave them the opportunity to match the quote, but they couldn't get close (which is really odd as the cover note from A-Plan is from Equity Red Star, one of the MGOCs approved insurers!)

I have just renewed our ZR 105 insurance and it was £185 for me and my wife driving with 60% no claim.
Worth giving them a call
