    Depends on several factors.

    If you've owned the car, or very similar (ie another Impreza/Evo) for a year, we'll be very cheap.

    If you haven't owned the same car for a year, but have experience on performance cars (200+ bhp) we can still quote, and will still be competitive, but won't be quite so cheap.

    If you haven't owned a performance car for over a year, it drastically reduces the amount of companies we use who'll quote, so although we can certainly quote you, it might not be as cheap.

    Hope this helps

    Gary

    I got a quote from you a week or so ago and one from A-plan, A-plan turned out cheaper by 3o bucks, i will give u another phone on monday to see if u can do anything with the price if thats ok as i need insurance for monday. I have owned the car for under a year you see, previous to this i had a civic type-r sooo sorta used to a bit of power and would rather get insurance thru yourself.

    Gary is the best Insurance company i have ever ever ever delt with, he really does look after you, and i have no issues getting him on the phone. For the 30 more that a plan are quoting id go for KM PLC every time, i had to pay 30pounds for putting my plate on with a plan, with KM PLC he sorted it out for me

    I cant agree with that sorry, I havent yet had a call back from Gary after 4 attempts, I did get some other person try but they were well over priced compared to 2 or 3 companies never mind A plan(who was £65 cheaper),
    Been driving almost 20 years, clean license and its a 3rd car so limited millage and its garaged.

    Well I cant disagree with you more... As i said excerlant service from day one.

    I am a busy person at work too and i know how hard it is to call every client back, They normly call me back if i have not spoke to them. If you have left messages with other people then i think they must have not been passed on.

    Keep up the good work Gary

    Default Moley did it for me!

    I tried to renew my Road Tax online and it stated that they couldn't find an insurance record for me online. I sent Gary a SN PM on the Sunday to question if there was anything wrong at their end likely to affect this. He replied before 9am the following morning to advise it was due to my policy being within 14 days of renewal and suggested I call him to discuss my renewal. I rang at lunchtime (spoke to Gary straight away) and was pleasantly suprised to find out my insurance was £100 less than the previous year (no change in vehicle or circumstances).

    When I got home, I'd also had a message left by Gary on my answering machine at 8:50am to ask me to call him.

    I'm very happy with the service I've had so far!

    Best regards,

    Ian

    I phoned back Gary today to look at the price of the original quote I got and he managed to get me a better price which I went with.

    Cheers again Gary.

    Personally I think Keith Michaels are pretty poor and not a diverse enough company.
    Sold my Scoob in Jan and ordered a new facelift Focus St.
    When asking Gary about changing I was slapped for £40 admin fee, apparently this is because Highway are not competitive on any other vehicle, hmmm .
    So the renewal comes in at £480 ( bearing in mind I have 13 years no claims and am no risk ) and apparently this is because I am now insuring a 19k car as oppose to a 12k car,regardless of fact the st is a lot lower group than a scoob, what b0!!ocks I think !.
    So basically what Gary was saying is if I buy a Ferrari and insure it for 10k then it will be cheap as.
    Was also told I won't get it any cheaper as everyone has put their prices up, funny that admiral have insured it for £315 with a lower excess.
    To top it all I get back from my hols after telling Keith Michaels where to poke their quote and to send out my proof of bonus, only to find a letter telling my insurance has run out and what do I want to do !.

    So in short I won't recomend them.

    Both my cars and my friends cars are insured with KM via Gary, top service in all regards for me.

    People have to realise that it is not a given that they will ALWAYS be the cheapest, some you win some you loose.

    And for being charged an admin charge from an insurance company, do other companies not charge you then, I certainly have been charged by other insurers for changing details on the policy.

    1) The £40 was not an admin fee, it was an additional premium.
    2) It wasn't £40
    3) Don't be fooled into thinking insurance is just worked out on the grouping of the car, there are lots of factors which are taken into account.
    4) Chase letters are automatically issued by the computer.

    Not sure what i've done to upset you so much for you to reply with such a negative post

    Well how about 3 times you mis spelt my wife and I names so hence three certificates had to be sent out.
    Cover notes always ran out and replacement never sent leaving me a tad vulnerable if pulled up by the old bill.
    I'm sorry but personnally the service I recieved was not one of a firm desperately trying to keep my business.
    My wife has been insured with Admiral for many years without fault so can safely say they are cheaper with no lapse in service.
    At the end of the day if you don't get this feedback then you won't know how to change for the future.

    To be fair to us the incorrect spelling was actually down the the insurers, we've always had it correct on our system. Not passing the buck, just clearing my name. I can make the insurers aware you're unhappy if you like?

    I'm sorry if you feel you've had a bad experience with us, as you're obviously annoyed about it.

    We can't always place every bit of business that comes our way, but we do try to help if we can.
