Insurance & Recovery Advice

[D1ckie]

OK, in 24 hours I should have my hands on my new Cerb

I'll be asking all the usual stuff next week but for now I have a couple of questions;

1) Who do you recommend for insurance - I've got a 500 quid quote for a 20K Cerb on 8K miles a year? Sound good?

2) Recovery - Who would you recommend, one of the big boys or a specialist is there are any?

3) Does anyone offer warranty for Cerbs. If so who and how much?

Thanks

Second point.....AA plus the parts and labour. See my clutch thread. They've been good.

I got mine through Hagerty. £387, garaged, 28 years old, £23k value and 4,000 miles.

AA recovery is as good as any. I used for the MG, fact is, they have lots of vans, so can get to you fairly sharpish.

I've got the AA Warranty, can't remember how much, £180 sounds familiar though. If you have the breakdown cover, it will give give you a £500 warranty which you can claim 5 times a year on I think. They will also tow the car to a garage of your choice.

I did this based on advice on this forum.

Thanks very much

Again Hagerty's, £318 fully comp,29 yrs old, dont need any no claims bonus either which is handy as it can be used on my daily bag of nails, track day cover is about 15% of your annual premium, even better.

Looking forward to passing on any limited advice I may have when required.

A-Plan are the best for me; I'm currently having niggles with a Really Antagonistic Corporate (windscreens) which A-Plan are handling for me; although it has yet to be resolved A-Plan are exceeding expectations by far (will update all when the situation has been rectified).

I wish I'd got the AA warrantee, you will get your money back in the second year of not before.

If you’re looking to replace a windscreen before I post the outcome, please, please PM me – not an ad but a word of warning.

I'm with mannings, never had a problem, 7k mileage plus trackday cover for under £400. They didn't object to me using a specialist when I needed a windscreen replacing, rather than their usual company.

Ive moved from AA to Hagarty understands the cars and drivers, fixed replacment cost recovery to home from anywere in the UK allows up to four drivers over 26 as long as they all have there own cars I have limited mileage and garaged 337 still use AA for allother breakdowns. Give them a call real friendly and if you are a TVR club member better discount.
