Roma insurance
Discussion
Hi all,
Bit of advice for a new Roma owner ( pics to follow).
Where are people insuring their cars, and what kind of cost per year? I am 60, car garaged in the Cotswolds, but I appreciate all quote are different.
I have multipolicy with Admiral for my other cars, waiting on them to see if they can quote, but a bit concerned the policy might not be sensible on a Ferrari.
Any help welcome
Wayne

Only you can decide if you are comfortable with Admiral for your Ferrari - many are - many aren't - for some there is no choice as so many insurers now insist on previous supercar ownership
interesting who is not comfortable with admiral ?
Used to love them for their pricing, particularly on multi car.
Then came claim day................
We've got a multicar with Admiral and when we got the 355 I contacted loads of specialists and they were all approx £1k - contacted Admiral more out of curiosity and their quote was approx £280 with an agreed valuation. Similar age to you and living in North Somerset so probably similar insurance risk profile. Good luck.

I can't comment on the insurance for the Roma, I've only got Ferrari quotes I'm case I win the lottery. 
Surprisingly only a couple of hundred quid more than my sub £5k hot hatch.I don't doubt you at all and this sounds like something insurer's would do but this is silly and a proper catch 22. We can't insure your supercar because you've never had a supercar before, but you can't have a supercar without insurance.
I heard some horror stories about Admiral, one in particular a 355 crashed in France I think, Admiral wanted to use their std repairer and secondhand parts also they don't or didn't do agreed value, noting Reggie's post suggesting they do
I'm with Lockton, think it's pretty reasonable at £2.5k for 458 Spider, FF, Discovery, BMW M135i and a heavily modified Cooper S, all agreed value and trackday cover for the Ferraris on FOC days

Had a claim with Admiral last month on my Porsche, somebody hit and drove off.
Fab to deal with, agreed straight to Porsche approved, just missed out on runabout courtesy car but body shop supplied free anyway.
Agreed and repaired within 2 weeks. No impact on my no claims, all UK call centre based and no extended wait in the phone.
Speak as you find and all that…..
Have my 812 with Lockton but will likely switch next renewal.

Admiral tried to refuse a claim when my classic 911 was stolen from the street in Belgravia.
They made the whole process very difficult and treated me kite a criminal.
It took 6 months to get the payout from them. Lucky I was persistent!
They were also ‘the cheapest by a mile’ but potentially the most expensive come claim time.
I now have 6 cars on one policy with Chubb arranged by Footman James.
