Insurance

[Zak]

Just spoke to Adrian Flux who couldn't give me a reasonable quote at all. Lifesure have been the best so far but Liverpool Victoria absolutely won't do Hilux's even though I told them that I knew they were already insuring people. Apparently their policies have changed and they are very specific about which imports they insure. Anyone got any companies to try?

re Insurance

I agree that A plan are cheap but I found that I get breakdown cover included with Footman James.

Search under insurance and you will find a list by Koi giving contact details for a load of companies. Play one against the other if you dare and beat them down.

Not only that the Footman James breakdown policy is a european one which also covers caravans if less than 7.6 metres. My policy cost me £330 and I'm about to go on my second trip to France, this time with the van in tow. I have saved substantially.

[Chillitt]

only downside to footman james is they are brokers issueing their own cerstificates which arent recognized by some other companies, so proving ncb can be a pain. still, got no intention of changing, so that dont matter

That's strange about liverpool victoria. I just called them last thursday and they quoted me £297.00 for my surf. Might be worth giving them a ring back !

[Zak]

Bevan Brown have come up with a good offer but Footman- James were nearly 200 quid more expensive. Is it the same Liverpool Victoria we are on about. I checked the website www.liverpoolvictoria.co.uk are these the right guys?

[Zak]

Now very confused. Took your advice and called Liverpool Victoria once more. Explained that although they had said no to Hilux insurance that I knew of someone who had been insured fora Hilux the previous week. They then checked the same details I gave to them previously and gave me a quote. It was however nearly 200 quid more expensive than anything else I had been previously quoted. Bugger...

After a lot of phoning I went with Norwich Union (£300). A-plan were only slightly more but were by far the most helpful on the phone i.e. didn't have to spend 20 mins explaining what a Surf was!
From reading a lot of similar threads it really does seem to depend who you get to speak to with the various companies - re widely different quotes or even no quote at all.
It's frustrating but you just have to keep phoning around
