Currently considering a new DBS Superleggera and was keen to get some views on best insurance companies and brokers.

I currently have my 911 insured with A-Plan But they were quoting a pretty hefty increase (which maybe accurate) so I wanted to try some other specialist insurers ...

Thanks

My DBS S is with Aviva and about £440.

I'm with Aviva too and have been since I bought my Aston. No one else seems to be able to get close to the premium or cover they offer.

Initially used Aviva via A-Plan.
Then Aviva directly.
Stayed for a few years, but recently changed to NFU Mutual. You guessed, for a lower premium.

Can you choose repairer or do you have to use their appointed Bodyshop ? All the competitive quotes I got required using the insurers appointed repairer .

I'm AVIVA and they are happy for me to use "Works" if I need to.

it's a guessing game with insurance,

I'm on my second Aston, Went for a renewal quote from Classic to Aviva who im insured with on my bike with 8 years NCB and they say I'm uninsurable.

Is there a story you can tell us, Steve?

You have left us guessing - geographical area; collisions; black marks on licence; very young; a well known personality; occupation ? - confused

more likely just a bad day for Aviva.

The reason I changed from Aviva to NFU a couple of years ago was because Aviva wanted to charge me a significant amount more on renewal for no good reason. When I asked them to do better they asked if I would drive with their phone GPS App (Black Box equivalent) for a few weeks despite my >10 years NCB, clean license etc. etc.. I politely declined and moved on. This year my renewal with NFU was £360. Very happy with that.
