TheWood1978 22 Report post Posted January 13 How do Quick One for you guys. Have you managed to get any insurance quotes so far and if so from who and what sort of prices. Bit about you may be useful if willing to share. Im 42, Male, Clean License, Live in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Ive managed to get one quote from CompareTheMarket (£1500/y) but they wont do monthly and some of em had Black Boxes Required lol. The 2021 Model doesn't seem to be on most of the sites, including my current insurer Aviva. I dont want to get to June delivery and have issues insuring the car..... Comments welcome.

keano 1,490 Report post Posted January 14 But early to be looking no? I mean would quotes provided now even be valid in June? Some are only valid for a month say so you may be wasting your time for now... Not looked yet tbh but I’m assuming it will be similar to my mk7.5 - don’t know how the insurance groups compares between them? Edit - just had a look at the brochure and it just says “tba” for insurance group on the R. Not entirely surprised you’re struggling for a price as a result. May be easier to get quotes once the group has been confirmed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWood1978 22 Report post Posted January 14 Hey Ive done better now, got some quotes from mustard.co.uk, in the region of £750. Obv ill need to quote nearer the time but at least i have a idea on costs. Did change address to my parents address and it was £2300!! Closer to Bradford Centre than i am...

MK1GTI 86 Report post Posted March 9 Prior to purchasing I checked with DirectLIne who insured my VW Golf mk7 GTi performance for £260 a year, for a cost to insure the MK8 R I was inform it would be an extra £180 on my current policy which was only a month old into a 12 month policy. I always check what a car would cost to insure before purchase. 1 camelsac2002 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WOW mate that's awesome, i cancelled my R order in the end due to both total costs with lease payment plus fuel plus insurance, was gonna be +£600 a month on top of what i had been paying on my owned Audi A4 3.0. Went for the ID3 instead which ive has since 11th Feb. Defo not as much fun as a R would be but free Electric atm so cant complain. We defo the best decision financially. Paying £39.99 a month insurance on the ID3. Hope you enjoy ya R. TheWood 1 Aid7072 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, cheap. My 7.5 is around £300, but I live just inside the M25. I have 20+ no claims, but most insurers only count up to 10 So, two quotes from Aviva, but fairly close.. (Quote me happy is an Aviva company) I am currently with QMH and get an extra £30 discount at renewal as SWMBO has her car with them too. As long as registered at same address get discount at each renewal on each car, but have to go direct. Always with using a comparison site to get a benchmark too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseW 332 Report post Posted April 5 I paid around £600 on 7.5R at last renewal (July 20) And quotes for the 8R are coming in around £350. 19yrs NCB (protected)Clean LicensePersonal injury and legal added to the base quote. 40 years old. Unfortunately I only live 15-20 miles away from the car crime capital of the UK being Wolverhampton and Birmingham. So even though are far enough away to generally not be too bothered with car crime every night/week, it does happen every now and again usually with peoples BMW’s to be honest. Plus my work address doesn’t help as that is a Wolverhampton postcode despite my car being behind a secured fence line and have guards on the only entrance/exit 24/7/365 (Military)I’ll take £350 all day long compared to what I was paying on the 7.5.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I've spoken to Admiral who my insurance is currently with and they have beaten the lowest price slightly and it includes a £250 compulsory and £150 voluntary,I'm used to high excesses from the cars I've owned so doesn't bother me.Dont even have the car yet,only got a quote out of curiosity. I have just gone over the quotes and they all have excesses totalling at least £450 including the annual premiums of £400+ so it looks like the excesses may be high as standard. 1 camelsac2002 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nath_27 1 Report post Posted April 8 Just a quick one in regards to insurance. When shopping around for insurance quotes, do the insurance companies offer GAP insurance or include it in any policies? Also are their any other good GAP insurance websites / companies that people have used in the past? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got GAP for my 8R with them and also had it in my 7R through them.. Have a look in this thread for that and some other recommendations. Plus there’s an ALA discount code in there too. 1 Nath_27 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
