Nissan GTR insurance

[Nedz]

First of all Hello as i rarely visit the jap forum!I am looking to get a Nissan GTR in the next few months or so and I am wondering who you guys insure them with.I have asked my current broker who i have my M3 and (now sold) westfield with and they came back with only one quote of over £6k!!! I was quite surprised by this as they were by far the cheapest on my current car(s).

I have been on the comparison sites and privilege usually come out on top with quotes of about £800 which i suppose is pretty reasonable condidering the car.
Is this the route most owners go or is there any prefered specialist insurance companies out there favoured by GTR owners?

Cheers for any help.

Sounds like your broker just plain don't like GTRs! I can't offer advice on insurance companies, since I don't own a GTR (if only!) but £800 sounds pretty reasonable I reckon, given the ability of the car!

Try Admiral or Elephant.

I pay less than 1k (36, 2 yrs ncb, parked at home) live in Surrey

I'd go with your £800 quote that seems nice and cheap for the car.

[davidd]

I pay £1100 pa, 43 garaged in south cambs lots of no claims.

I have fully business use and unlimited mileage which seemed to shove it up a bit

I switched to CCI this year as my renewal from Elephant came in at £1400, up from £990 last year. Beat them down to £1100 but this was still ripped apart by CCI who quoted £700. This covers all modifications & provides Track Day cover for 5 UK/Euro track days. Condition with CCI is Tracker for a car valued at over £40K (Elephant didn't need this), however the saving more than covered the cost

Hi guys,thanks for the replies.Ive just had another look on go-compare and the best quote i am getting now is £930 with admiral up around £100 or so from what i was quoted a few months back.I will try some of the companies you have listed in the new year when i am nearer to getting the car but it seems that anything under a grand is reasonable.

For reference i am 37yrs old,clean license,16 yrs no claims,live in cheshire,no disabilities etc etc,5k miles yr.

Cheers

I'd hazzard a guess your quote from CCI will come in similar to mine so around £700 (including track day cover & mods).

CCI were similar to admiral for me but required a tracker to be fitted to insure anything above 39K

I got a quote on a new GTR just to see how much it would be and it works out cheaper than my GT4 coming in at £2000 ah the joys of owning cheap old japanese cars!

+1 for CCI

I have used A-Plan for my first 12 months declaring nismo wheels, exhaust and ecu and I'm 41 live in Leicestershire 9+ years ncb clean licence and my premium was £1200 this I have subsequently realised was a bit OTT and the company I keep hearing about on the gtroc is CCI and will definitely be going with them come my renewal time.

[Wheelrepairit]

I paid £470 from Elephant back in 2010 when I had mine, that was for me at 40 yrs old and swmbo at 36 yrs old.

I know it's a year later, but I spoke to Keith Michaels and they said that their average GTR policy was around £500. I assume you're with them - what are they like with mods and dealing with claims etc.?

There fine with mods. I'm with Flux at present, incidentally.
