Insurance
Just done a quote with LV for the soon to arrive defender and it came back quite high even with our good driver records and post code. Appreciate everyone’s circumstances are different.
Who are people using for insurance and what’s the ball park figures? Ours came out at £600ish which considering I’ve insured high end BM’s for almost half that stings a bit.

I had the same with LV. Trying to roll-over old insurance (£350pa) on a Nissan X-Trail to the new Defender they quoted me over £3000 pa!

Try Admiral, they were around £525.

It seems insurance has massively jumped. My last insurer didnt offer a renewal because they doubled there price...loads were coming out around £900 rather than the 400, despite no changes...eventually i got it back round to the same price

A Plan didnt call me back twice this renewal time Mike

Thats odd. Confused

I'm going back to APlan when my multiyear is up. Not always the cheapest but good cover and great service. Bow down

I went with Adrian Flux - £420 and it is my first defender, with no NCB to add, although they made allowance for the 19years NCB on my Caterham 7.

£420 is good for flux on a new defender.

They havent been anywhere near on any new land rover - £950 this quote round. Double the price Mike

Hmm
Well I was just about to post my rant that Direct line just increased our premium to £478 for renewal from last years £256 but it seem this is a trend.

Not sure how they're justifying that scale of rise its not our risk/experience so have repair costs doubled, Cheapest alternative on the compare sites was Churchill at £325.

Sigh, weird how my wages haven't doubled in the last 12 months along with my bills.

My 3 A-Plan policies reduced slightly this year due to change in use, so I was very pleased with them. James
