Insurance

[Mixter J]

Hi - Pick up my 08 V8 tomorrow and can't wait. Any thoughts on insurance? Priviledge are quoting £478 which I thought was pretty good but was wondering should I go to a specialist broker that would ensure any repair works (which will hopefully never happen...) be completed by AM as opposed to a 3rd party repairer ? Thanks

I am sure one of the many insurance brokers will be along soon and confirm, but my understanding is that you get to choose where YOUR CAR is repaired, not them. They have lists of approved repairers, but it is your car and you can have it repaired wherever you want.

This is my understanding too. Have you tried Lockton?

Morning Mr Hooligan. As you know I don't do motor insurance However my understanding is that you can indeed have your car repaired wherever you like. I suspect if it's not an approved repairer you would not get a courtesy car. If it were me I would ask the question dirctly to the insurer

Steve, £1200! wow. Have you been collecting points on your licence, by any chance?
(about £650 for me on my DB9 with 10 years ncb)

3 points only, car parked on drive, no mileage limitations, class 1 business. Tracker subscription mandatory or no theft cover!

Try Matt at Henderson Taylor. Used him/them for a few years with my previous Exige and 911.

Always a keen price and very good service.

But you probably knew the answer

Bit of a shock after that - apparently you cant use NCD on a second car policy so had to insure with zero ncd... ouch. Think I might shop round in my "cooling off" period.

Admiral was the best deal I could get, nearly £1000 cheaper than the highest quote I received.

[Mixter J]

£860 in the end with Priviledge with 0% but a 2nd car discount. Will shop about and thanks for the advice.

Certain insurers will mirror your no claims bonus... I have done this a few times.

How would they know that you've used your ncb elsewhere?

Like me Steve they have obviously driven behind you and made a note.

Insurance companies share data, and it is why they ask whether it is your main car and if there are other cars in the household.
