Insurance Companies

[Bav]

I am as dim as ditch water, but my insurance companies both insisted on an S5 type system.

No you're not mate, but S5 relates to the tracker.

 

[Drive Wayne]

No you're not mate, but S5 relates to the tracker.

Surely it's worth the 'what if I had a tracker/immobiliser fitted' chat? £600 for a system fitted, £300 saving a year say? Gotta be worth an ask?

Always worth an ask - but I'd guess you'd get a better response with a Meta-Trak.

Chris @Dav-Tec isn't much more than £600 is he? Not too far from Milton Keynes?

 

[Bav]

As of April 2023, £700 for the Meta Trak S5 VTS, S5 Deadlock & S5 Deadlock Pro - With Immobiliser & OEM Alarm Monitoring.

2 years payback with reduced premiums...?

 

[Dav-Tec]

S5 Deadlock is £699 which includes first years subscription, installation and having it wired into the factory alarm system (something only we offer)

I've had no issues, bike and van insured through them, no problems with Agreed Value Policy either, which I did have with A-Plan. 2 bike claims settled very quickly a couple of years ago.

 

[Ayjay]

As I think I said on here before, I've no complaints whatsoever about the way Ageas managed my recent and quite large claim last year. I'll have to see how things go when renewal time comes along but I would be willing to pay a bit extra knowing how good they have been in the past. You never really know how good an insurer is until you need to make a claim.

But I went via JK.

Just had my Caravan guard renewal through @ £481, that’s cheaper than last year by £111 as I now have a whopping 1 years NCB.
That’s with the max market value increased to £65k together with the following modifications declared which weren’t on last years cover: 18” alloys and leisure battery system upgraded to lithium. Another year of being covered on a new for old replacement. Next year will have to delve into the agreed value insurance market.
I know everyone’s circumstances are different etc. etc.. but very pleased with that.

@dcpen43 Out of interest where and how do you get standalone AV insurance?

Just Kampers do it £75 as a standalone, £15 with a policy

 

[Drive Wayne]

Just Kampers do it £75 as a standalone, £15 with a policy

That £15 is a bargain, see what they quote you for insurance @EAN
