Europe Can Get my Grenadier Insured

[Grenadierfella]

Hi Everyone

I have a problem and would welcome any help,

My car is due to me in 2/3 weeks, the 5 seater commercial and so far I cannot get this insured, I have a rental company and want to use it for towing delivering & collecting cherry pickers / scissor lifts here in the uk, I have been turned down by serval insurers, I live in a good area I have a clean driving record and have had no claims or bumps. This is quite worrying as the whole reason for my purchase is to put the car to work.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Regards

Grenadierfella

I thought the SOS thread was to be only used for emergency situations, in field/overlanding break down situations requiring urgent assistance. I respectfully suggest that your questions are addressed through a normal thread.
Other than that welcome to the forum a d an sure someone will address your concerns

Go easy on him I’m sure @Grenadierfella didn’t realise what the thread is for as it’s his first message !
@Grenadierfella please repost your message in the U.K. insurance thread and I’m sure forum members will come up with some suggestions as will I.

Hi there,
I just got mine insured through NFU but it had to go onto a commercial insurance, not car!
Try them , I found them very helpful but I do all my vehicles through NFU

Did they put a rider into the policy vis a vis Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser for theft cover? That is what they did with my Fieldmaster despite an active tracker being fitted. Had to switch to LV for theft cover.

Would you believe, I'm with SAGA - £755 (no restrictions)? However, I also have an M5 and that is £230 cheaper with them.........

Update, NFU just sent through my insurance document pack and have asked for a Thatcham category 2 immobiliser despite not telling me during insurance quotation process - now not impressed so have asked Ineos dealer for specifications of enhanced immobiliser fitted to Fieldmaster - does anyone know how to get this from IS direct?

I’m with NFU and they didn’t ask for any of that

I suspect the underwriters are looking at postcodes (hopefully in my case) and those in/ near cities bearing the brunt

You have bought a "van" and you will need van insurance. Mine is through Admiral and was selected after using the comparison sites. Adrian Flux will offer cover but the prices may be a bit high.

A bit high!!

I’ve got van insurance on a multi car policy with Admiral, 2 seat utility. Had to give them a call but got a good deal, that was in June so may have changed since then.

It‘s a weird one. I insure house, buildings, etc with NFU, property is remote and yet Thatcham Cat 2 for the Gren. No such clause for the L405. My guess is they woke up to the Ineos spec change from Thatcham Cat 1. The likelihood - Ineos failed the Thatcham assessment, results which eventually filter down to the subscribing/shareholding insurers?

Hello have you tried NFU I use my vehicle commercially and also access airfields etc which is usually difficult

I got commercial with NFU, it wasn’t too bad, although they misquoted me initially at £400 which was a bargain, it ended up being £650
