so long as the quote was still valid then they have to take you as a quote is a binding agreement

if you have already recieved a written quotation, then there should be a date on it which states when the quote is valid until. if it is still valid then they have to insure you at the stated amount as, as vibs said, its a binding agreement

Dan_Corsa did you change the ownership of your car, or tell them that the car is registered in your name, some people have their car registered in their name, but insured in their mum's, when they stack it they find out the insurance is invalid

Always wondered about this, mate whats hyperformances number btw, do they sort of go the same as LV in that they won't insure you on a claibra turbo but they'll insure you for £200 on a corsa 1.2 converted to a 2.0 16v and £400 on a sri coverted to a 2.0 16v...if you catch my drift?
Trying to find sum1 to insure me ona clio 16v at the mo you see.
