Insurance for new FFRR

[andyxxx]

Hi. I have had FFRR for many years and love my new model vehicle that is coming up to a year old.
However the insurance is becoming ridiculous!

Who has recently shopped around and found a good broker or company they could recommend?

I am getting quotes of £4K to £7K with full no claims in a decent area and is the third year running it has doubled in price.
If I can’t find a better quote I will cancel my next on which is due about this time next year.

There's a recent and very long thread on this topic if you have a look around. You're not alone.

If you are referring to the London uninsurable thread, it does not apply to me or answer the question I raised.
Or is there another thread I have missed?

The thread is relevant to anyone with a RR, regardless of postcode.

By all means shop around, but if you don't want to pay the prices being asked, don't.

That's helpful.
Read my op.

Going against the grain here (Herefordshire) have a 21 plate FFRR amongst other exotica plus some run of the mill stuff and my insurance hasn’t changed in terms of premium from last year to this year. Zurich Private Clients are the underwriter via an enthusiastic broker

Thank you. I will try Zurich. Would you mind sending me the brokers details?

Nowell & Richards in Stafford - ask for Jon- he’s been good for us so far.

Thank you - very helpful. I will try them tomorrow.

Thats only part of it with a RR as well. You never know when its going to fail and you are off to the garage with the expectation of four figure bill.

I have had several JLR vehicles including original Defenders (three and still own a 64 plate from new), RRS and FFRR and that has not been my experience with any of them – having sometimes kept them for 5 years or more I have never had a bill for more than £500 and had only minor problems when within warranty.

Having said that the main dealers are pretty poor at sorting any faults whether within warranty or out.

Having shopped around including the above broker recommend, everywhere either wouldn’t quote, or came in at between £5 and £6000. (I paid £600 three years ago!! - apart from Admiral that has quoted £2500

I am going to cancel my next FFRR order which was due in about a year and look into replacing this present vehicle before it becomes uninsurable.

The trouble is what to replace it with:
Don't like the look of Bentaygo (and no local dealer/more than I would like to spend)
Likewise DBX (same as above)
Defender 110 (overpriced and not really comparable)
Porsche Cayenne (Had one and wife didn't like it)
Macan (A bit small but wife does like it)

Thanks for the suggestion but I couldn’t buy a Discovery for the back end alone.
I would rather buy a late low mileage of the previous model – which I thought looked brill.
The new one is tipped for 2025 but can’t wait that long.
