Insurance suggestions please

[Lawts0908]

It looks as though all insurance quotes have taken a recent hike, (probably due to recent legal requirements) so I thought I'd ask if anyone has found any favourable companies giving reasonable rates recently? My car is the V12V.
Thanks for your time in anticipation!

Bit difficult to know who is in a similar situation without age, NCB, points, rough location.

I found Lockton to be the cheapest at £850 for a V8V.

[Lawts0908]

Sorry, I forgot to add; 9yrs no claims bonus, no accidents, no convictions, retired driver only, etc etc. (Just about the lowest risk) and anticipating about 3-5k miles per year. (Sadly)

[V8V Pete]

Try Aviva (direct online). About £500 for V8VS for me. Good cover too.

[RobDown]

locktons (the AMOC scheme) are always worth a try. It's not an automated thing so the quoted feel a little random; which sometimes means they are a long way below everyone else (about 2/3rds lower on my GT8!)

[HBradley]

Try Pace Ward & Nowell & Richards, both brokers that have been excellent!

[steveway]

I am 60 with a V12V with Pace Ward and only £484

For my DB9, I pay £323 with Admiral, as part of a multiyear policy and 6000 miles a year. 15 years NCB.

I hear the NFU or Flux are also really competitive.

Hi,

NFU is good. I've a V12V and costs £340 and that includes breakdown as well. I'm 52 which must be good age for insurance

hope that helps

cheers

[Lawts0908]

Many thanks all! Such a relief as I was paying around £348 for my V8V with Admiral (multicar policy) and now they want £1070 for my 2006 V12v!! A real shocker, I expected a bit more, but that's a big leap. I'm 56 too, so no spring chicken. My house is insured with the NFU, so I'll give them a ring....

Job done. Despite the recent insurance tax hike, I've been quoted £451 by the NFU (£37pm) So much better than Admiral who clearly no longer wanted my business!!

Another big 'thumbs up' to Pistonheads!!!

Did you say you drive a V12 or DB9 with that very healthy driving record............

Complete contrast to me, couple of accidents and more points than a circus bed of nails........

[Ken Figenus]

Just make sure that any company allows your choice of repairer and covers any factory fitted options - that three cornered hat sailing lady can get sneaky here...

Desperate as I am to do a track day, it's for this reason that I try to stay clear of all invites. The V12V is just screaming to let her hair down tho.
No, I guess I'm a bit of a cheat.... 27yrs advance driving was my job at tax payers' expense... it's not fair really but it is a fantastic lifetime benefit.

[Lawts0908]

Guys, can I ask which of your insurance companies have the requirement for your trackers to be activated??

[9153mark]

Aviva didnt on mine... Great cover. Couldnt have done more or quicker when my bm was hit. No fault, no excess and I chose repairer.
Multi car, bm 330 msport and 13 v8v for £380
I wont go anywhere else

[Lawts0908]

Sounds good, I'll take a look at Aviva too. Many thanks.

[Gmw76]

+1 Aviva here too

[spyker138]

Aviva this time - half the Locktons quote and I don't have to join AMOC anymore. Do néed the tracker, though I may call to get that taken off.

For the sake of just £200 a year why would you add to the risk of never seeing your car again by not activating it?
