Evora insurance

[Fasteddie]

It's that time again, renewal notice came through, it's not too bad but then I don't do many miles. Any recommendations out there before I accept CCIs renewal?

[LazyDonkey]

if you don't do trackdays eSure was very competitive for me.

I've moved this topic to the insurance section of the forum. Have a read of some of the topics already in here.

[Bravo73]

I got a great price recently from the forum offer, AIB. (http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/62312-aib-lotus-insurance-up-to-20-discount-available/)

However, their policy offered 5 track days (which is what I wanted).

I've just renewed with One Answer - the sales director is a Lotus owner and active on S3LOC.  Competitive on my complicated requirements - limited mileage, track days and Class 1 business use.  They've also added agreed value to the policy.

 

I spoke to CCI, REIS (previously insured my Elan, Elise and Evora until last year) and Manning for quotes too.

[j141]

Direct Line were great for me and they include business use.

[Kalli]

Just thought it worthwhile mentioning...

 

26/27 years old. 2 years NCB. 10k mileage a year including commuting. Modifications (exhaust and sills), full European Insurance cover, windscreen cover, etc etc etc.

 

£560. 

 

QuoteMeHappy.com of all places!!!

[theelanman]

my turn for insurance renewal......

£850 for the Evora and the Saab Aero together.......

bargain.......think it was about £500 for the Evora and £350 for the Saab.......

 

Im happy with the numbers as AIB have got me all the extras added on for things like Euro Cover, Breakdown...etc etc etc

handy as Im going to LM this year......

[anthonyyule]

£628 for the Evora S, Abarth 500 and Skoda Superb 4x4 altogether

And that includes declaration of the Komotec 430 mods too!

Admiral Multicar policy, rural Aberdeenshire.

Good show!

My renewal is up with AIB and Darren informs me they are not able to offer any track day cover at all. As a result, I'm now looking around before I decide to renew.

 

[C8RKH]

AIB wanted £700 and no track day cover.

Just been to Classic Line insurance and have renewed my Evora for £450. All LoT, LOC, track days are free (no limit) and includes a further 6 track days in the UK from others (as long as they are approved track day providers). European track days are £200 though, but UK and European breakdown cover was I'm sure included. So overall, not too bad.

[Bravo73]

FWIW, I have just renewed my policy with AIB and it DOES include 5 trackdays.

[C8RKH]

WTF - I was phoned by Darren personally and he told me in no uncertain ways that they COULD NOT PROVIDE track day insurance. Maybe he'd like to come along and explain wtf is going on, as he would have had my business again, nae bother.

[Bravo73]

I checked twice (due to this thread). Maybe they can't offer the cover on new policies (but can renew)...?

I generally deal with Nigel, who has been brilliant. 

[Bibs]

@AIBinsurance can you please clarify?

[C8RKH]

Ah well, I was renewing so that's that. I've got insurance now so what the hell.

[AIBinsurance]

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not offer track day as new business anymore.

Bravo73 is with the only company we have who do track days but they are not open for new business anymore, however they are happy to renew policies that are already with them.

I hope this isn't to much of an inconvenience.

Kind Regards

Many thanks for clearing that up for us. it's a shame, as i was really happy with my insurance from you.

Cheers

[CocoPops]

I'm with CCI (underwritten by Aviva)

6 trackdays included for Lotus cover (2 of which are Euro).

Additional days can be added.

£400 for my Evora.

[JayEmm]

Doing my ringing around at the moment. So far Direct Line proving the most competitive. I tried Classic Line but they wanted nearly twice as much for half the miles and wanted a tracker fitted.

I'll ring CCI tomorrow

[CocoPops]

CCI will want a tracker fitted as well (I already asked for a 400 quote).
400 vs Evora NA was a very modest uplift in price, but required tracker.

However, if you want to track it, and why wouldn't you.. then CCI/ClassicLine/HendersonTaylor/1Answer will all include track cover.

It's worth paying a little more to use a specialist if they include things like track cover as taking track cover seperately on top of a commerical policy is often more expensive in the long run.

[JayEmm]

The main reason I wouldn't want to track it is it seems like that voids the warranty on the car. Which would be a shame if it is the case.

[Bibs]

Officially according to the book it does, in reality it doesn't. 

Have you called our insurance partner, AIB?

[JayEmm]

Not yet, they are also on my to-call list.

Is there a slightly more official source regarding warranty on track Bibs? I would love to track the car but don't want to chuck 3 years of warranty away for a bit of fun

[Bibs]

No. The official line is that I said, you track the car then the warranty is invalid and you'll never see anything other than that in writing. There is however plenty of anecdotal evidence from our members on here that Lotus are very good with the warranty, even if you track the car. They'll not refuse a leaking window repair or dodgy seat runner for example but they will have an issue if you've over-revved the engine if you pick the wrong gear on track. Also, you'd be pushing your luck if you wanted bushes replaced if you'd be tracking the car. Be fair, and they'll be very fair back.
