survey

Results, of the 'Ace Owners' Quick Insurance Survey in the week commencing 28 Jan 2002. Over 60 responses within the week, Thank you. Geographical location is a factor which may affect insurance a lot (and perhaps the immobiliser requirement) and appears to be of interest. I may make the next "quick survey" on just postcode and perhaps some aspect of vehicle type. Any suggestions?

All costs are assumed to be with Full No Claims which most owners were reporting so I removed the question. I wonder if the four "under £200" with "Other" insurers are genuine?

I'm not an insurance expert but my general conclusions are: (results are listed further down)

With 10% over 50 and 5% under 25 the typical driver seems, not surprisingly, to be in early forties.

Four insurers stood out with over 10% popularity.

Direct Line consistently required immobliser at costs grouped around £300 and usually for older drivers.
Liverpool Victoria/Frizzell (LV trade as LV and as Frizzell) don't require immobiliser and cover younger drivers but cost varies more widely £200-£600.
Norwich Union for older drivers with cost varying £200 to £600 and immobiliser sometimes reported as required.
Tesco consistently required immobliser but cover all ages with a wide spread of prices £300-£800.
