Classic car insurance

[cjb44]

It is that time of the year when I need to renew the MG insurance. Collectively, who is the most reliable, trustworthy and will deliver if the worst happens from the vast choice we have these days; your opinions and experiences are welcome.
Thanks.

I've insured my Rileys through Bishop Calway for the past 20 years. Very helpful, very friendly, good value personal service: https://www.bishopcalway.co.uk

This is a bit like asking Ford fans and Vauxhall fans which make is best . . . .

As always you never know how good,or bad, an insurance company is until you make a claim. Luckily for me I`ve never made a claim, yet?
This year my wife and I insured our daily drivers with LV. They then offered me 15% discount on a classic car policy,all the normal classic car stuff including agreed value,so I accepted. The premiums were much less than other quotes and I was very impressed with the way they operated.

I insured my MGCGT with Lancasters as they are affiliated to the MGOC. Agreed Valuation included, limited to 3000 miles all for a little over £100.

I have used RH for 30 years and have made a claim, they were brilliant when a midget I had was written off, the cheque was on my mat before I got out of hospital, and they let me keep the wreckage!

Thanks guys for the positive information, I shall start the trawl with your recommendations and see where we go from there.

My own experience (1991 Saab 900 Convertible, owned for 18 years) is a simple search on MoneySupermarket and just go with whatever comes out cheapest. Usually fluctuates between Lancaster and A.N Other (can't remember) but never exceeds £100 by much. I do it on 3,000 miles p.a but they never seem to ask for proof of mileage - I guess they can get it from MoT history these days. Car is garaged and not the daily driver, although I do always put that it may be used for commuting. Never made a claim so can't comment how good / bad they are in extremis.

I've just renewed My Dart and Riley RMB for £218 with Sterling including Legal Protection and 3 different locations.
Footman James wanted £338 just for the Dart.
I don't understand

I've been with Footman James for years. I rang around a year or two ago and no-one else came close on cover/price. It's a 4-car multi-vehicle policy, inc one modern, with Class 1 business use and unlimited mileage. I'll ring around again next year, but the business use and mileage limits the available classic policies.

Renewed the TR6 yesterday with Lancaster, they wanted just shy of £200 £35 was legal cover I said I did not want it, she said I can leave it in and drop it to £175 all in.

The cover is fully comp, with agreed value, full breakdown and key cover with annual mileage 4K

Footman James have been good for me, not a club member but reasonable. Mine isn't worth much though.
