It stared this afternoon whilst trying to get a quote for another car added to my insurance policy with Aviva. I got talking to the person at the other end about my defender and mentioned it had 9 seats. That's when the problems started. Apparently Aviva, and most other insurance companies will only ensure a vehicle up to 8 seats. My Aviva insurance now finishes at midnight tonight.
Time to start phoning around. I tried A-Plan, NFU Mutual and Land Rover Insurance. I told all of them I had 9 seats and a snorkel fitted. The seats were fitted at build, the snorkel being added by the previous owner. A-Plan: They took all my details and checked with various underwriters. The best they could offer was £600 Land Rover Insurance: They took all my details and had to check with ten underwriters. They could not insure me as they only cover up to 8 seats. NFU: The main call centre couldn't help as they can only cover up to 8 seats. They transferred me to the local NFU centre nearest to me . They took all my details and then checked with the underwriters. They could insure me for £256.76. They got the business. The biggest problem I found is that the number of seats doesn't seem to be linked to the car registration. I had to tell each insurance company and get them to check. NFU have been very helpful and have actually saved me money. I would recommend talking to them especially if you have a local branch. Kindest regards Paddie |
