Insurance (uk)

[dapinky]

Just had my renewal through from Peter Jones - £229.17.

Everything declared - self and spouse to drive, full European breakdown/recovery, legal protection insurance, fully comprehensive, agreed value, unlimited mileage.






Bargain........




















.....especially as that amount covers both the red one and the blue one

Another vote for 2gether £135 this year and £35 for recovery and home start including notifying them of my claim on other car in march Sureterm went from £202 last year to £258 this year before I notified them so saved nearly £90 now just need it to fly the MOT next week and jobs a good un.

Thats cheap

Is that limited miles? Garaged? Agreed Valuation?

[Rice crispy]

yep garaged 3000 miles agreed value £5k (need to send pictures in) . was surprised myself as I put my daily driver in a ditch in march (on way home from essex/herts LEC meet). must be in a good postcode, suppose living in sticksville down a dirt track has its benefits

Just transferred insurance over to 2together. Really good deal. £150, garaged, 5000 miles, fully comp. No photo's required. Considering I was paying over twice that with previous insurer thought it worth the transfer and cutting my loses.

Another thumbs up from me for 2gether insurance. The guy at the other end of the phone (Gary) was very helpful and chatty and saved me over £100 on my renewal quote from Hagerty

£133 for 3000 miles, garaged, £5000 GVS, agreed mods etc... Can increase to 5000 miles for an extra £25 if and when needed.

An excellent deal and well recommended.

[Monty]

Think i`ll give them a call next year, wonder if they cover for trackdays

[Rambo]

Not sure if they're in the market for boy racers with loud dump valves Monty But it's worth a phone call anyway. What you save against your current insurance may even pay for another track day

Newbie here just bought an Elan to go with my older Lotus's.

My day job is as an insurance broker and as my hobbie/passion is all things Lotus we have a special Lotus insurance scheme.

We can cater for all Loti not just Elans from the rarley used classic to the highly modified track car. I am happy to help all members with any insurance queries or problems whether you are insured with me or not. Help with claims advice or the best way to go about insuring second cars that sort of thing. A sort of insurance agony aunt!
If you need any help get me at kim.eaton@routenchaplin.co.uk or send me a PM

I just bought an S2 and had all kinds of fun getting insurance from the usual suspects (see my location: car in Bristol and I'm not!) Mostly refusals; £665 from A-Plan and even sites specialising in insurance for expats made the eyes water (£880 with a £450 excess from Stuart Collins!)

I gave Kim a call and now have £253 for 1500 miles or £292 for 3000 miles, self + spouse, agreed value, £100 excess. UK and Europe breakdown/recovery cover for £40.

Kim is a commercial broker but has personally specialised in Lotus because of his own interest in Lotus cars. So definitely worth a call especially for anything that doesn't conform to all the requirements on the cookie-cutter sites (modifications, track days...) I'm well pleased and it shows what can be done by a broker prepared to put in the legwork

[Coupeboy]

There seems to be an emerging theme of getting a good deal one year and then the following year the premium is increaed significantly. 2gether went from £130 to £363 with no explanation (or claims from me).
Tried all the comparison sites and other specialists highlighted on here but only got as low as ~£200. Have googled classic car insurance and came up with Cherised Car Insurance which could offer fully comp, 3000 miles and free assured value for £99.

[epipete]

Yet another vote for 2gether £200 this year which matches that paid to Footman Jones last year, FJ wanted £275 this year after adding my recent SP30

2gether have no quibble guaranteed value, 5000 miles, European cover & £100 excess!

A winner methinks

[RayD]

Me too ... from £115 last year to £130 this ... agreed value ... legal expences ... 3000 miles.

Another vote for 2gether £135 again this year and £47.50 up from £35 last year, then gave me a £15 discount for taking both so £2.50 cheaper this year now just need it to fly the MOT today and jobs a good un.

[theelanman]

so my insurance has come down and Ive done no blagging, ringing round or owt....

wow....

I nearly fell over sat down......FFS

[Rice crispy]

Good stuff was happy with no real change but £45 off

[Monty]

together was a waste of time for me, stuck with classic line.

[lotusnut]

2gether didn't return my calls, so went with Adrian Flux, £75 cheaper than Footman James renewal quote.

[Rice crispy]

That time of year again 2gether £135 again this year and £47.50 for recovery, then gave me a £15 discount for taking both so £167.50. Just need it to book the MOT (need to do the rear sliders first) and jobs a good un for another year.

[m100sandra]

£151 with Classicline ins, it was £130 something without mods,,,,,,,,£242.00 to add Aimy my daughter who is 24.

[lotusnut]
