Picking up my RRS 2010 3.0 TD V6 HSE tomorrow, cant wait. Went onto my current insurers site Quote Me Happy only to find that they wont insure me! I presume this is because they do not insure vehicles of this class/value £29k. Ok that's fine rules are rules, but when they want to charge £54 cancellation fee, and I cannot even speak to someone as it is online only, it leaves me a little disgruntled to say the least, as I would have remained with them.

I now need to get new insurance and the best deal through a search engine is Hastings Direct, but as I am in the process of transferring my private plate, I have to pay another £20 with them in a weeks time to change the paperwork, and they wont waiver this.

Its so annoying that insurance is there for peace of mind and we pay a substantial premium anyhow, its damn annoying and blatantly obvious charges are made to further rip off the public

Oh dear, you need to get tough with your insurance company, remember there first offer is never their best offer.

I bought my first RRS 2.7 and updated my policy from my 1.3 corsa c for £100 and I'm only 23 with 5yrs no claims, so it's about £500 a year. The first offer was at least double that, but they soon applied some discounts. I was also informed that I would have to pay £17.50 when the old owners private plate came off, I made it clear that would not happen and that charge was dropped too.

They are just chancers don't be giving them money for nothing!

I had the run around when buying my RRS...... A plan quoted £600.00 !

The woman I bought the RRS off said to try Tesco Car insurance.................... £345.00.

Result.

Good luck.
