Sky Insurance - Discount for ROC members!

[josh279]

Exactly the same situation as Oldtyke,

I was with Swift Cover who wont cover any modifications at all, £550 combined excess, 5 years no claims and 28 years old.  £525 if I paid it all at once

Chris Knott wouldn't insure me as I plan to make modifications and I'm not 30

Sky £250 excess, induction kit, exhaust and alloys won't load my premium, I've got business mileage on my policy, cost £500 in one hit

Better cover, cheaper, better customer service and they're all car nuts.

So happy with it that my dad wants his kit cars quoted with them next renewal.

Definitely recommended

^ great to hear, thanks for this feedback   s:) s:)

A quick question to Sky Insurance. I eventually ended up getting Amdiral Multi car, as all other insurances would not give me no claims discount on the 2 as it is my second car.
Admiral gave me 10 years ( which is a lower level than my normal ncd, but is what my husband who is also on the insurance has ).
Would Sky give me a no claims discount on the 2  ?

We'd be able to 'mirror' the NCB over to the second car, similar to how you describe.

I use Adrian Flux, I think it was £640 in a oner, with mod's declared, 24 with 4 years and 3 points sp30 and able to drive other cars 3rd party... (Admiral - £650, No mods, no cover for other cars)
My insurance is due for renewal in December, Maybe it will be worth a call

OK, so we've got a Saab 9-5, a BMW Z3 and a Talbot Express camper van. Is it worth insuring them together?

We have a few options for customers with more than one vehicle in the household, feel free to PM me your contact details when you are up for renewal and I will arrange a call back to discuss?

Online quoting for modded cars excellent, except after accepting the T&Cs on the first page you get....

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'Ubound'
/Sky/progBar.asp, line 118

Guess it needs debugging!

Thanks for giving it a try.. hundreds seems to be using the system ok, the odd few seems to be getting the same error as yourself, this could be due to the browser you are using.   We are working on the issues.

If you do need to go through a quotation to get a confirmed price, please request a call back here:

Got it working again, got right to the end of the detailed quote and it falls over when trying to get the quote

Sorry, we have been unable to quote as some of the information you input may be incorrect.
ABI data error: ABIQ.FLE Integrity Check Failed - Occupation Record No Record Found
Please use the REQUOTE option to change your details and run your quote again.

My occupation is entered and I can reload see it fine.  I'll try chrome or firefox but this looks like a backend processing error to me not the browser!

** edit got the backend error message now to fix ...
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'
/Sky/BuildClientXMLData.asp, line 394

You have 1 week to fix or my £950 ish dual policy premium will be paid to Admiral   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

Its okay guys I managed to talk to Sky and pull the web quote data.  Sky has beaten Admirals multicar price! with a better excess and mods covered.  Thats pretty good considering Admiral are much cheaper than everyone else.

[ginger1]

Nicely done  :-) :-) :-)
Admiral and Andrian Flux were even on price for me with Sky unable to offer a quote as it would be worse than my quote from Admiral.
Though Adrian Flux had to take loads of extra's off to match it and offered worse multicar discount.
Like insurer roulette to be honest...

 s:D s:D  i have insured again with sky. they had sent me renewals, but after some shopping around they were high compared with new business else were, so with a few e-mails and phone conversations sky had come back with some more tempting offers on my both cars. there helpfulness went a long way with me. so could have got it cheaper just by a small amount else were but i declined.

sky did a great job into trying to beat the other offers and were very professional, polite, helpful and  very understanding on the mods on the mr2  s:D s:D  that I renewed today Monday.

 as with any insurance company you never really no what they are like till you claim. if they can be this understanding when a event happens (hopefully not) it will help with the stress and worry knowing you can talk to someone who listens.

Customer service means a lot to me and worth paying more for better understanding of good business practice.

  s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:  thankyou again for all your help with this years cover on both cars  s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:    s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:    s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Well after reading sky WONT insure manchester post  m codeshttp://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/posti ... 9&t=23015# m
i will be cancelling my sky subscription because of this.

If we aren't good for their insurance
Then they aren'  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:  t  (i speak for myself here) good enough to supply me with my TV, ive been a customer of sky for 20 years or there abouts and pay £55 a month

Not no more.

i think this is discrimination  anyone else? agree they shouldnt be able to pick and choose who they do or dont insure, after all we are forced to insure cars we do not want to.

  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  I love this post.

Just seen this,very funny however I agree with the point that Sky seem to be making no effort to cover Greater Manchester postcodes.There is quite a few members in this area and I seem to keep getting covered by Adrian Flux at a reasonable price without much fuss so I must'nt be considered that much of a high risk in their eyes.Come on Sky,raise your game.  s:? :? s:?

Hi,

I'll be honest and say I cannot see the 'M' Manchester postcode exclusion being lifted any time soon.  These are underwriting restrictions placed on us, we are a broker.  The main issue we had is that when we have covered the area,  our underwriters were paying out over £2 for every £1 they took through premiums.  The vehicles we insure (high performance, modified and imports) are usually the first vehicles to go missing or be vandalised unfortunately.

It is not really a case of us raising our game, it is a case of our hands being tied.

Thanks

I don't have an "M" postcode my postcode is  an "OL16" and I have 9 years no claims on my garaged MR2 but still not worthy of being quoted.  s:? :? s:?

[Wabbitkilla]

The discrimination against people living in the northern part of the country is getting really annoying.
The brokers say it's the insurance companies, and yet other brokers manage to get quotes with the same insurance companies.

ALL insurance brokers in my experience try and bump your premium up when you stay loyal to them, there shouldn't be the need to generate your own quotes or get comparative quotes. It seems like a law enforced robbery to me.

[skyinsurance]

I have now had an email from Sky insurance confirming my quote Ollie and it is slightly over £100 cheaper than my premium with you and it is with the same Insurer (Chaucer) so if we could have a chat please it would be much appreciated.

Tony

Hi Tony,

the online quick quotation facility is there as a rough guide only.  The facility assumes most of your information for the better, eg limited mileage, max NCB, garage parking.  If you PM me and remind me of your surname, I can take a look and let you know what I find.

Thanks

Ollie

 'OL' is also an excluded postcode for us.

[skyinsurance]

Ollie, I have a question please...

I recently renewed with you and my premium is now £60 more expensive than last years premium with you.

I just clicked on your web site and found you can generate a quote for yourself online.
Your website has quoted me £100 cheaper than what I am now paying you.

before my Highlands trip I called a couple of other brokers and they have all quoted me cheaper than you.   s:( s:(  
I gave Skyinsurance fantastic feedback this time last year on mr2oc but my loyalty staying with you seems to have been taken advantage of.

My question is am I able  to talk to you and renegotiate my premium down to the price your website has quoted me please Ollie.

Cheers,

Tony

Hi Tony,

in fairness, we are a broker and do not dictate the rates given to us, we do however have a price match service we can utilise at renewal stage if a more competitive and like for like quotation comes to light.  

Thanks

I don't see the point in having it then... It gives people false hopes of a cheaper policy

It works both ways, quite often a telephone quotation can be cheaper than the online facility.

Some good honest advice there people!
