I'm with VOI too. Not necessarily the cheapest (£602 this year) but I have always had excellent service from them, and I take comfort from knowing that in the event of repairs being needed, the car will go to a volvo workshop and be repaired using volvo parts.

Check out the new insurance section at autotrader.co.uk which like confused.com searches several companies.

Hi,

Try Admiral. I'm not quite SAGA yet, but my T5 renewal was £197 fully comp with all the bells and whistles.

Good Luck

Ive just cahnged my cover over from my audi to the c70 t5 and all though ive only had to pay £16 admin fees, norwich union have stated my excess will go up from £120 to £270 because its a volvo. Apparently they pay ahefty surcharge with volvos and certain other makes hence i got to suffer if a claim is made.

Has anyone experienced similar or is this something i should accept being a volvo owner?

Thanks
Darren

The cheapest I got for my 940S was £394 FC (TPFT was more expensive) with www.masterquote.com - cheaper than Chris Knox and significantly cheaper than Churchill and EVERY other insurer mentioned by the other posters (£700-£900). They also found an insurer prepared to mirror my 9 years NCD from my main car.

Esure (Calm down dear!) were cheapest for my 850GLT at £510 FC. Not sure why the "leisurely" 940S was so expensive - I guess it could still do a lot of damage due to it's weight and size.

I suspect my age and location affect my premiums, though I thought 31 was old and wise in the eyes of insurers :p

These premiums might still seem expensive, but if I hadn't looked around, I could easily have paid nearly a grand for both motors.

Was with Norwich Union with my 960. Changed to the 850 and then spent 4 hours on the phone and 20 phone calls to Bangaloor in India over a week and ended up with no fewer than 8 wrong insurance policies.

Voted with my feet and went to More Than..... Now pay £450, which is £200 cheaper than NU.

Keep jobs in the UK!!!!!!
