Ring Ring, Ring ring....

"Hello Priviledge Insurance, how can I help?"

"Hi there. I'd like to change my policy please, I have a new car"

"Certainly sir - what is the registration number?"

"N blah blah blah"

"I'm sorry sir - that vehicle doesn't exist - what is it?"

"Toyota Hilux Surf 2.7 petrol"

"I'm sorry sir - that vehicle doesn't exist"


Oh, the mirth and merriment......

However to their credit, they went away and did some proper digging and all's well that ends well. £28 to stick it on my policy. Happy trails.

it seems most imports dont exist to insurance companys, took me forever to explain what my legacy was

It's weird to me that it's a car that's been in the country for years, I have parts of the log book in my hand and there a tax disc in the window - so much for the central database eh?

I can understand a problem when they first come in, but not years later.

It was insured with Adrian Flux when we had it. On a specialist 4x4 policy. They insisted that the alarm was fitted. If we didn't they wanted £200 more.

I'm due to renew in about 3 months, I'll have a shop around then, see what's about. I have my van insured with Adrian flux as it happens.
