the insurance companies must think the 406 is some sort of supercar beater.

This is getting to the stage where i'm begining to think of something else for the next busmobile, due to the insurance. I'll be playing with quote web sites to see what big estates are cheap to insure.

it all goes off Risk assesment,
Eg claims, the 406 is very easy to squash at the rear end :|
and the fact theyre more popular as the Taxi rather than a Family car doesnt help :roll:

I'm paying around £300 / yr for mine - don't think you'll find any big estates for significantly less.
