UK & Ireland Insurance in the UK

[Will I like it? - Yep!]

Try the NFU local office, unless of course you have blotted your copy book

We called NFU today - the fella said only got the 2 Belstaff editions on the system - given up until we have a reg number as this he says will help him.
Pity we can’t take out insurance after a theft or crash

Try LV= they were quite competitive on my specked up utility two seat petrol.

what kind of valuation did you put it down as ? if you do not mind me asking

£65k or there abouts. £610 qoute. Have had cheaper via comparison sites but the cheapest quote is not my primary consideration.

 

[acwiltshire]

As per previous reply.
My saved quote with Churchill had expired , but resurrected it yesterday ( in the hope that mine will be needed very soon - vehicle at agent since early March)
Fieldmaster diesel 10k pa rural location. Me 61 full NCB , advanced driver, wife 62 full ncb - Comprehensive with NCB protected £424.47.
Already insured with them, and they were very good in 2020 when some old git ran into me.

Churchill did not offer a quote for my N1 5 seat Utility Station Wagon
A1 did not offer a quote
Hastings Direct did not offer a quote
Aviva Direct did not offer a quote
Gott & Wynne, (a Morgan specialist broker), found my registration on a DVLA linked database but could not offer a quote today. (They would have to go to the underwriters at Equity Red Star at around the £800 mark).
Looks like my choices are LV= at £750ish and Admiral at £646 and falling.


Update: I've gone to the Darkside and Admiral. Hopefully they will not need reminding that I am an insurance and compliance specialist and will not tolerate shoddy practise. They tried to cancel my wife's policy for non-disclosure as they failed to read the claims database properly in respect of an incident I had with a hit and run on my old LR110.

Thanks for the update, very useful. I have a ,ulti-car policy with Admiral and they only had Trial & Fieldmaster options at the time of speaking to them last week. Did you need give your reg for your N1?

Have you tried local NFU yet - apols if missed abve

 

[Jeremy996]

Admiral are insuring my N1 Utility Station Wagon as a van. I've given them the VRN, but they cannot see it on the DVLA site yet.
NFU local and HQ have the same quote; they have retained the renewal date for a requote next year.

For all insurance intents and purposes, N1s are Vans and M1s are cars. To get any quote on a N1, you need to look for Van insurance.

 

[Jeremy996]

I have a comedy quote from Performance Direct, https://www.performancedirect.co.uk/, of £10,550.80 per annum.

I'll pass.

I think they are trying to tell you they don't want your custom

This is interesting regarding your dealings with Admiral. I had a protracted telephone conversation this morning to try and get a quotation
for my soon to be delivered 5 seat Station Wagon. They were adamant that cover would only be given to The Fieldmaster and Trialmaster.
I currently have three vehicles insured with them via a Multicar policy but they wouldn't accept the Station Wagon.

They must have some of the Ineos customer service team answering phones on a Friday.

Admiral have insured mine as well - you could try running it through Go compare Van insurance to see if you get a quote

I had the same experience last week. Since then Jeremy and as per J8hn below the SW version needs to be insured via the van department. I haven't tried that with Admiral yet but will do in the coming weeks/months. Typing this assuming you went the car dept route like I did.

Yes that's correct I did - will now wait until vehicle is registered and there are full details of vehicle on DVLA
so that Admiral ( and others ) can see exactly what the Station Wagon is !

- courtesy car in UK
