CAR INSURANCE - WTF



Think we all see the news and especially on Youtube in the last few days

Insurance companies are not renewing or most cases not quoting on Landrover 4x4 cars

In London and major cities - you cannot get Insurance.

A friend of mine has a FFRR 22 plate and was quoted a few days ago - £9300.00 compreshensive with 70per cent NCD


Whats the story so far - has LR just gone too far now with selling these cars knowing their sercurity is far short of what it should be !!!

Are we all doomed on here ......

The prices of used New Defender and Range Rovers ARE FALLING FAST !

Mine has almost doubled but its still only £735/annum (was £380) I guess thats a bargain nowadays - thats with Tesco. Geoff

@Geoff:

“only £735 per annum”

We must appreciate, that is the cost of an entire vehicle to some less fortunate people.

Sometimes, we have to stop, and think about how lucky we all are, to be swanning around in luxury in our FFRR’s, moaning about how many 000’s it’s costing for this, that, or the other.

If we couldn’t afford it, we wouldn’t be here……

Bit of a stretch to say I was whinging or moaning. Geoff

@Geoff

Sorry no offence intended, it was meant to be a lighthearted remark made totally in humour. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I have just renewed my runaround 2005 plate A class Merc worth about £1500-£2000 last year cost £348 this year and the best I could find like for like is £599.71 full NCB no points 70 year old not London. That's with AXA 2017 SDV8 4.4 silicon silver AB
2012 TDV8 4.4 Stornaway Grey AB
2011 TDV8 4.4 Buckingham Blue
2012 VW V6 3.0 Tougreg

No problem Gremlin I may occasionally whinge and moan on here, it generally relates to my own stupidity or being fleeced by a dealer (even by people on here). I only checked insurance out of interest because I thought folk were exaggerating the issue (mines not due until next March) so I just fed back what I found in my case. I enjoy running a Range Rover and SWMBO likes me driving her around in it so all the costs are irrelevant ( Insurance being just one of them) as the saying goes “Happy wife, Happy life” so what’s a few quid SO NONE TAKEN Geoff

My view is that car insurances in general have rocketed (doubled/tripled…) but Land Rover/FFRR are getting more media and Social media attention.

@Geoff: Thanks for your forgiveness.

Well, mine is also due for renewal next March, so I’ll probably get my well-deserved comeuppence then!

Insurance companies always seem to be looking for the least excuse to jack up the prices, but do they ever come down when the risks recede? NO!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Actually they came down during covid as the risk was reduced due to nobody driving. Mine came down when I increased the actual risk by parking it on the street and not in a locked car park with 24hr security and CCTV simply because the former is the registered address. RR are being targeted not so much due to their poor security but because of how desirable they are in the countries where they end up being shipped to.
Insurance premiums are based on total cost of claims in your area so if 10 £70k + RR's are going missing every week of your neighbours drives you end up paying..... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

An interesting video showing how many of the big retailers Land Rovers are now being disposed of through the auctions...



and not selling at suggested values..
