Great site - found the insurance forum very helpful.
I was thinking of geting an fto, Rang QD today looking for a quote and they said they wouldn't cover that car! This has put a spanner in the works, for the time being. I'm insured with them up until september. Will probably wait till then to change the car. In the meantime I will keep my eye out for a particularly fine example of japan's finest. Happy motoring dudes

Welcome onboard Deejay
As you've found out QD no longer offer new premiums on FTOs. Let us know how you get on after ringing around!

How's it going deejay,
I was in the same boat with insurance until I changed from QD to Hibernian thru a broker, got the civic insured and then requested a quote for the fto which they quoted me 3k tpf&t. The only reason they quoted me was because I was insured with them already. I asked them for a quote before I moved and they wouldn't quote.

Hey Deejay,
I don't want to go reopening a can of worms, but I thought an insurance company had to quote you for a new car if you're already with them. That doesn't mean the quote has to be anyway realistic, but at the very least if noone else will quote you I thought they were legally bound to give you a quote.
Kev.

For sure Kevinod,
I rang a broker today to get a quote and she told me that the insurance co. have to give me a quote because i am an existing customer. The broker told me to get back on to them, which i will. I'm not expecting much, but i'll follow it up quoting the broker's version of the law. See what happens...
