Anyone know of any insurance companies that support insuring cars stored at remote garages ?

I've moved house but the car is staying put. Seems alot of insurance companies don't understand this scenario, Adrian Flux being one of them

Does anyone have any experience in this are that can provide some suggestions please?

Most insurers I've used ask if the car is stored at the same location as your residence or not. I don't see what'd be the issue even if you just put "off road parking". Up to them to ask the questions.

I insured at a remote garage with Ecclesiastical (arranged via Peter Best).

Classicline do this for me for my two classics both stored away from home.

Not sure what car you're insuring though?

I'm guessing some companies view different locations as people trying to avoid higher premiums

The car is a Subaru Impreza STi v5 Type R (bog-standard). I've owned it since new (14 years ago) imported from Japan

Due to the type of car, this limits me already from the mainstream of companies I'm guessing :/

I keep my second car, an MG Maestro 1600, on my mother-in-law's drive unless I'm driving it daily which happens too rarely frown (my daily driver is a Pug 309 SR). I am insured with Lancaster, they are fully aware and the insurance paperwork gives my mother-in-law's postcode as the "kept at" address (which is in the same gruesome general postcode area and has the same risk as my own postcode anyway).

Not a problem cloud9 - but odd that I had to go through it all at this year's renewal as the finer details seemed to have got lost somewhere in the last few years confused .
