Land Rover Insurance

[Steve Dean]

Today, my broker has confirmed that their panel of 4 insurance companies will no longer insure Land Rovers. I have made a number of phone calls only to discover another 4 insurers who declined to insure a Land Rover product.
There must be hundreds (possibly thousands) of Land Rovers owners on Pistonheads ..... what are you all doing .... any advice/recommendations.
Looking for proper input. Please don't tell me to sell it !!!
Thanks.

Hi jeremyc ...... it's a Discovery 5. I've now managed to get one quote ..... an increase from £347 to £965.
I've also had a call from a friend a few minutes ago who has also been quoted an increase to just under £1000.
Surely this will impact on Land Rover sales and slaughter residual values.

Thank you to those who have given constructive input.
For every ones information I have completed the JLR on-line insurance application (they will not provide quotes on the phone) and it is the second highest quote I have received (I have a clean licence, with maximum NCB, etc, etc).
I made a formal complaint to the largest JLR dealership chain yesterday and spent half an hour on the phone with the top man.
We had a polite but very frank exchange. He could not defend the situation. I informed him that I have been a serial Land Rover and Jaguar owner over many years and that I will now leave the brand, never to return.
