i am 25...... if i was 28 i could get quotes from several more companies....

Bob, let us know how you get on with customs. I'm forever toying with the idea of going back & I'd like to bring me surf back with me. Read their website, don't like their rules for converting to a commercial tho. Seems like they got so much red tape in place to make you fail. Still, fingers crossed.

rang mikemurphy insurance today, 1100 for my insurance....

fbd still looking good at 580 for the year.....

Im amazed to be honest.
I was covered for a year for under 400 euro by the same crowd. At the time i was 29 & only had my full driving license for a few months but they weren't bothered!
Maybe the guy you were talking was just a pr1ck? The guy i got my quote from seemed like a fairly sound bloke.
It can come down to who your talking to sometime. I dunno?

nah it was a girl, she said it was also the age of my surf as the main company that insures their commercials doesnt cover yokes over 15 yrs old....

Sh1t. unlucky. You going to go with FBD? Its not a bad quote.

[BigBobE]

i reckon so, as they are the only one who will insure commercial while its still on yella regs....

you got a 2ND OR 3RD GEN???


i have a 2nd gen, and on the VRT system there is an LN130 crewcab, from reading the rules i just have to permantantly seperate the load area from cab, so i am installing a 3/4 inch ply divide carpeted and with a window (from a camper van) in it, so i still have rear view mirror....


this then means you pay VRT at 13.5% and FBD insure me at a commercial policy as my V5 states my truck is commercial in the UK....

i dunno which it is mate its a 92 is all i know
be very careful there i have looked into itand u need 45percent load holding area behind the rear seats only way i could see to getting cheap tax on mine was to takeout all the seats seatbelts etc and weld over the bolts
