Anyone currently have 'lay-up' insurance cover?

[Robertjp]

Car is currently SORNED and is likely to be for the near future until we get past the difficult bits with our 2nd daughters arrival!

Im currently with Classic line - paying around £32 a month for 3000 miles, storage in locked garage etc etc.

However - i contacted them to ask about lay-up cover late last year and they indicated a premium of around £20 a month. Its yet TBC admittedly, but having asked for layup cover in this years premium via email last week, i have been told today that its been posted and the cost - £358 + whaveter i pay for monthly payments!!!!

So - about double where i expected it to be.

Anyone else using layup cover - what should i be expecting? Im 34, had the car 4 years, living in good postcoce, no claim history...

I had the same kind of shock from my insurance company (A1) but then got a much better deal from Mannings so try them

Mannings all the way!


They offer Pro-Rata lay up cover, and true valuations and loss buy back should the unthinkable happen.

And.... ATDO Trackday cover

As VARLEYHYD said mannings do Pro Rata. Ask for Lee Sargeant.

Yep, another one for Mannings, I use them for my Griff and although it was taxed all year this year I have sorned it on occasions in the past. I seem to remember it was inexpensive for garage cov.

Sounds like it would be cheaper to tax it and insure it normally.

Speak to Gyles at Mannings.

I pay £420 for my Tuscan including all the nice bits Mannings seem to include FOC (cracking customer service along with a named person you can actually speak to).

£650ish on the comparison sites.

£1400 with a nanny box and £2k excess from Adrian Flux

My chim has been sorned since Nov 1st and is on laid up insurance, RH for me - they refunded a lump sum as I was only a couple of months into my policy (which I'd paid up front). Found them very competitive and helpful, unfortunately my Tuscan ain't old enough yet for their classic insurance.

Apologies chaps, but who is RH?

Thanks for the input gents...will be calling mannings etc regardless.

actually i think the premium may be wrong for lay up cover just received it today so need to call classic line too....will report back

[Robertjp]

OK...looks like it was a mix up.

Just called them up and explained what i actually wanted...

£106 for the year + £20 agreed valuation fee.

Sorted.

Thanks for the input though gents.
