Dr Rock Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) agreed value of 30k?!! how did you blag that one? flipping cheap insurance too, you sure they are backed up by a decent underwriter? I don't live in Kent nor commute.Valuation by JG :-) They don't have modern Porsches skewing the prices etc. They specialise in hotrods and American cars and sound like they understand classic car owners. One of the guys I talked to (Darren) used to run Classicline: we had a right good chat about insurance. V interesting.

hoopy Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I contacted the following insurers as recommended on here and Pistonheads: http://www.rhclassicinsurance.co.uk http://www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk/ http://www.heritage-quote.co.uk/ http://www.brentacre.co.uk/ http://www.sureterm.com http://www.hagertyinsurance.co.uk/ I wanted 5000 miles a year and to include my wife. I also wanted to be able to use the car to occasionally commute to work and visit customers. A lot of insurers don't like this, particular the latter point which left me with ClassicLine and RH Insurance both pretty similar at 343 and 358 respectively. Without the business use (and so therefore useless to me) Sureterm were 333 and Heritage were 476. The others either didn't get back to me or said they couldn't quote. Some insurers (certainly ClassicLine and Heritage) wanted to know if I'd owned previous similar cars. ClassicLine were happy with the Caterham, Heritage weren't. Not sure if that helps but it's a list of URLs at least (Although the websites were almost uniformly useful and I had to follow up by phone or email) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've just renewed my car. Henderson Taylor was up to £480 including 5 track days a year. However, I did manage to get them down to £328. But since I didn't do a single track day last year and I now have access to another track car, I figured I'd drop the track cover. Hagerty offered £20K agreed value, 3K miles and euro break down cover for £188 - which is the cheapest I've ever paid for any car insurance. I think it's probably an extra £100 to add 2K miles more on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Comerford Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've used Carole Nash for most of the car's time with me. £144 premium, agreed value, 3k miles and euro breakdown. Very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) HT looks like the best one then since you do at least 5 track days a year so £20 each for peace of mind. Edited August 27, 2013 by Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strosek34 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Agreed value and trackday cover together.. HT didn't used to do that, it was one or the other, also they stopped allowing for the occasional commute so I changed to Manning's this year, £375, xs 250, 3k mileage, trackdays and Agreed Value all mods declared. My AV is only 17k, maybe I need to up that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLewis Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've just renewed with Brentacre. 250xs, 3k miles and premium is 395. Agreed value to be sorted out after I send done pictures through. I'd originally thought it was worth around 15/16k. Wondering if that may be a bit off the mark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very frustrating this insurance cr*p, HT wouldn't give me AV and trackdays so stuck with just trackday cover for the last couple of years but earlier this year they told me no commuting so that's why I changed to Manning's who do AV, trackdays and commuting.

Can't remember to be honest mate , I don't need commuting as I travel with the great unwashed to work.. It's their new policy using equity redstar , who RH and Lancaster/Sureterm use , although only HT offer the trackday option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterJLampwick Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ive wasted hours today doing online quotes only to be told to ring, then refused point blank because the car is under a (fitted) cover, under a carport, behind locked gates. If it were in a crap asbestos garage it would be fine. Grrr! I don't commute because I work from home. RH are still up for it, but £445. What really annoys me is that earlier today I blew my 9+ years NCB insuring my cheap and cheerful Skoda daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterJLampwick Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Update - After a few more knockbacks and silly prices, and endless faffing on the phone, hats off to Lockton Performance, who offer cover via the PCGB. Cover for PCGB trackdays, agreed value, 3000 miles and no quibble about the carport, £240. Job done, I fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djw Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Have already gone with flux direct for £300 5k miles with commuting. Just checked with Classic line and £195 incl legal cover and uk breakdown, 5k miles, car value £19950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I insure with Mayfair insurance. <£200 for 3000 miles and agreed value. However the AV was set 6 or 7 years ago, should I review the AV, if yes how? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterJLampwick Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Your AV has to have gone up, unless the condition of your car has gone down, but other than through the PCGB I can't advise how to get one, other than via Peter Morgan here, £30 a pop: http://www.porscheinspections.com/porsche_valuations.php . I think there are various experts that will value you car, its which ones your insurers will accept that is the question. Today I have been pestered by the companies that quoted me silly last week, one broker has even emailed me a £660 quote that is £60 MORE than their best quote Friday, how on earth do they think that will tempt me? Meantime, I asked Lockton for a requote on 5000 miles, as I'm tempted to go to Le Mans next summer, which would make a big hole in a 3000 mile allowance, it works out 20 odd quid more, so I'll have that.

Jim Rummy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Sureterm decided not to continue insuring classics, so I had to do the dreaded ring around - in the end went with a very nice man at Adrian Flux insured through Enterprise/Midas with agreed value of £42,000, £450 excess, commuting, 5k limited miles for £288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
