Frontera Insurance

[rac060804]

Hi all
Im after a little advise please...............

I currently have a policy in force for my Landrover which I have recently sold and have brought myself a 1999 3.2 V6...........I called the insurance today to see if I could swop the vehicles on the policy and was told NO, due to it being a Landrover only policy I asked how much it would be to start a new policy from fresh and was told 2k !!!! (im yet to start searching the net) As it stands I have max no claims on my Rover 75 and will have 1 year NCB on my Landrover in April....but none currently as still in my first year with it,

So, with 0 NCB, are there any specialist that deal with Frontera's ?

Cheers

You may have 2 policies at them moment but IIRC you can only transfer one of the no claims bonus to another company or vehicle.
This is to prevent insurance fraud as you could have an accident in your Rover 75 and loose your NCD then try to use the one earned on your LR against your 75 when you reinsure next time.
As such your best option is to take out a 2nd car policy.

2nd car policies are much cheaper but as they are 2nd cars your mileage will be limited, normally to around 5000 miles per year. (If you are lucky and can prove the need for extra mileage you can get this. When I took mine out I pointed out that I do a lot of green laning. A trip to Wales for me is 500miles + round trip. Add 2 days laning (200miles) and I have done 15% of my annual limit in one weekend. As such my insurers have given me a higher limit to allow for this).
Also with 2nd car policies you generally don't earn a NCD for the reasons stated above, you do not get travelling to and from work and you do not get 3rd party cover to drive other peoples vehicles as you would be expected to get this extra cover on your 1st insurance policy.

There are a few companies to try as suggested above.

Adrian Flux 0800 369 8590
Noel Dazely 01276 25996
Glynwood Insurance 01543 675163
Sureterm Direct 0800 999 2030

There are lots of opinions on all of these as to who's good, who's expensive etc.
Personally I have been with AF and found them cheap in the first year, then silly money to renew.
Sureterm are ok if you don't modify or only have basic mods to your 4x4
Noel Dazely & Glynwood can both offer the sought after "Highway Modified Vehicle" policy which most of us that do serious laning or off roading have. Prices for this policy appear to be coming in around £220-£280 depending on your age & location for an A series, fully comp. TFT will probably be under £200.

Also all of the above recogsnise "Frontera Owners" as a group and will normally give extra discount if you mention your are a member here.

Let us know how you get on

FP are being a bit 'funny' of late. It seems if you're a nice safe low risk then they'll offer you a policy, but any points, accidents etc and they don't want to know. Noel Dazely appear to offer the same policies for similar prices only without all the BS

This year my NFU insurance has gone from £280 to £390.!! no claims or anything, so I've gone with the AA £260, all are fully comp but the AA doesn't give me a hire car if my truck's off the road whereas NFU supplied a car

[rseaville]

Just opened a letter from Sureterm Direct about my renewal for next month.
It reads as follows.

"Sadly due to changes in our panel of insurers we are unable to offer you a renewal premium this year".

I have full no claims, a clean licence and it's a second car. Looks like it's time to hit the phone

Hi all
Quick update.................Frank Pickles wouldnt cover the Frontera.............best I had elsewhere was £430 Fully comp.............then today I tried Glynwood...............What a winner...........£225 fully comp........Woo hoo.

Only negative is I need to modify my Frontera :

To qualify for this scheme the vehicle needs to have at least one the following: Suspension or body lift, roll cage, under-body protection, heavy duty steering bars, dislocation cones, rock sliders, differential lockers

Out of the above, which would be the cheapest ? Is it worth doing the mod as the car will only be used to tow my caravan....

Cheers

A cheap suspension lift would be a set of spacers on the original coils and turning up the torsion bars a bit, cost about £50 or less.
May even help with towing the van if you get new rear shocks for £60 a pair from Monroe
