Driving other cars?

[Ribol]

The three names that keep coming up in TVR insurance seem to be Sunninghill, Mannings & Cheam Insurance Brokers. I have not arranged my insurance as yet, does anyone have the name of a person at each firm that is sympathetic to our cause (Do not want to fit Tracker)

Do any of you PH nutters out there who are insured with any of these brokers get the "driving other cars" bit included on your insurance. I accept that if you own a Chim you should not want to drive someone else's car but looking out my window that that is currently showing the classic movie "Gales and P*****g rain" I may well need to!

Many thanks to you all in advance

I got my insurance through Direct Line and they weren't interested in the Tracker that I have in the Chim. Seems that Chims are not the target of tea-leaves. So there wasn't any discount. Don't know if this would apply to the firms/brokers you mentioned.

Hutch, did you get the "driving other cars" bit on your policy?

[MickintheNorth]

My direct line policy allows me to any other vheicle 3rd party only.

Yes - I can drive a vehicle (not owned by me) with the owner's permission, but the cover is limited to Third Party Only. Isn't this standard on comprehensive cover policies?

You will find that most, if not all insurance companies will not give any discount for having a tracker fitted. However you may find some that insist you have one fitted if car is worth more than 35K.

Got mine through Sunninghill, for the Cerbera. Having a Tracker wasn't a condition of the insurance, and includes the DOC extension. (But, as previously stated this is only third party.) Also, includes track day cover.

Hello,

Direct Line only give discounts on Trackers in cars worth over 30k and in fact insist that all cars priced at 30k or above have Trackers in my area.

I thought I was doing well with my insurance until I called Manning and saved myself £850 - although I believe that I am now only covered for the Cerb and not any car as before with Direct Line.

The only issue you'll have with Mannings is if you don't have a history of performance car ownership - you need to have driven relatively fast cars before for at least 12 months - not a bad condition to keep the risk/costs down if you ask me. (my ex Alfa Giulietta & Saab 900 didn't count, to give you some idea). After 12 months of Tiv ownership, you're IN, and your insurance can become very cheapo indeedy esp with limited miles.
