Insurance help

[ForesterMo]

Hello everyone 👋 After some advice on insuring my MK Indy R. I recently received a letter from Footman James saying can't offer me cover for next year.

 

I have called around to Adrian Flux, Howden, Brentacre, Green Light, and Lancaster, with none of them wanting to insure me as I keep the car in my apartment buildings underground carpark. Any ideas to get the car insure would be really appreciated.

I am insured through A Plan Thatcham based on storing the car on my drive. I actually keep it in an open fronted garage but this was not one of their options so we went for a less secure location to make sure it was insured.

A-Plan is the same as Howden! But make sure you ring/email the Thatcham branch because that is where they have their specialist department to deal with kitcars and other specialist vehicles. Other branches won't have a clue what an MK is!!

I'm not sure your extremely rural location compares with an underground carpark for an appartment in Birmingham.

 

@ForesterMo as @stephenh has said you need to ring @Howden Insurance - Specialist Vehicle at their Thatcham branch.

 

Hopefully they can help you find a solution. Is renting a garage nearby an option?

Thanks gents! They basically said unless it's garaged in Birmingham it's not possible. Will have a look for a garage and try another quote I guess

Would getting a tracker fitted help, might cost a few hundred quid but better than no insurance
