TD5 Insurance...
« on: April 20, 2007, 11:56:32 »
So, I I have (what we all seem to agree is a good deal in varying degrees) my TD5 110, where do I insure it.

Done the usual online checks, most companies dont list a 3 door 110....

Cheapest so far is £291 from Admiral for a 27 year old 6 years NCB domestic and pleasure only and it is stored on a drive over night. RH19 area........

Is this a reasonable price or can I get lower. Where have you insured yours???? :D

Try NFU too. I've found Adrian Flux to be the cheapest but the can be a pain to deal with and charge an admin for any modification added in between renewals which can add up.

Cheers

I'm with Greenlight - they've stopped covering 4x4's now, but have to honour existing policies.

I pay £450 for my 110 Td5, and that includes Class 1 business use - it may seem a bit steep, but all the other places I tried (NFU, NU etc) didn't like the winch - and either refused to insure or loaded the premium to silly money.

I also had trouble when phoning round for quotes to get the peeps on the phone to acknowledge that you could have a 3 door Defender - a lot of companies call them vans...............which reminds me, the Post Office wrote to me recently, asking if I'd like to renew my 'van' insurance with them (cheeky beggars, calling it a van !!), maybe give them a go ?

Admiral were good for me on my 90 TD5....even paid out more than i paid at the main dealers when it got written off ;)

I'm with Tesco now who are equally good. I've not found the likes of NFU very good with higher value vehicles, particually TD5's they seem to be poor on.

NFU here too for my TD5 110 CSW.  About £250 fully comp for a 33 year old.

I have no qualms about sticking with them, especialy after my 90 was stolen a couple of years back.  I was able to talk to someone face to face and they paid up in just over a week (and it was over the christmas break too).  Thats when you know how good you insurance company is.
