Insurance up

1st year with the new car last year and went with AA at £439. That was up on the 4.2 but I put that down to the new car being worth significantly more.
Just had the AA quote for next year £834 WTF. Comparison sites around £450 so not bad but thought I'd try Direct Line. £366 so that's where I went.
Maybe worth other l405 owners taking a look. DL are not on comparison sites. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

I am with Direct Line. Be aware that you need to a have a tracker fitted else any theft claim will be invalidated. Check the policy small print.

I'll be looking to renew soon so do they have a list of acceptable models or minimum spec trackers? Chris

I was with Direct Line Select (not quite the same thing as DL) - this years premium was around £850 so after using comparison sites got quotes of around £450 with companies I've never heard of.

Got a similar price with NFU & went with them (you also get to speak to a real person).

Spent some time this morning on the phone to DLas I couldn't find anything in the small print. Evidently there is no requirement for a tracker so happy days. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

OK, just checked with Direct Line and there is nothing on the policy to say I have to have a tracker fitted so will cancel my subscription. When I first signed up with DL there was a clause in the small print that said a tracker was required and I almost missed it. They must have changed their policy.

England 2011 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Santorini Black

Yep this year my renewal jumped from £375 (04 Td6) to over £1400 (2011 4.4 TDV8) after car change with Admiral. Through the comparison sites I managed to get a multicar deal with Hastings which matched the original from last year.

They did have an even cheaper option called Essentials which although fully comp, did not offer the option to drive other cars, so do check the options as insurance companies seem to be getting more creative. Tom
