LV

[Bynxy]

Well just had my insurance renewal for this year expecting a hefty jump based on all the news about the jump in the cost of motor insurances, and I was shocked that mine has only got up by a massive 97p don't think I will bother shopping around!!!

 

[Jim Rey]

Me too. Insured via Adrian Flux. £351 (£4 extra this year). They changed underwriter from LV to KGM though

I had similar with Admiral (renewed December '23) - went up about £20.00. Pot luck thought I think. Am interested to see if it rises again this year...

Just renewed mine. Had to declare a non fault accident earlier in the year and to my surprise the renewal was a couple of quid cheaper than the previous year.

Unfortunately I also had my renewal from LV and had to leave. We've recently acquired an EV as third vehicle in the family and they quoted around £450 for a year as we had no NCD to allocate it, but for a month it was just £40 so time to think. When the renewal came it had jumped to an eye-watering £870 - more than the T6.1 and Volvo combined.

This year we ended up going with Admiral Multicar - they don't seem to load EVs as high and they also asked how many claim free years we could prove even if we had no NCD to allocate resulting in a much more reasonable (if not cheap) premium for the i3.

One thing I have noticed this year - there are a lot more statements about not modifying vehicle software creeping into insurance policies - a worrying trend for those that need to do so.

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask.

Just re done my insurance. Last year One call renewed at £480 now £704 with £750 excess. Just called LV and quoted £470 with £650 excess with guaranteed valuation.
Happy with that!

My multi vehicle policy renewal just came up with LV...pleased its gone down by around £100, shock horror, wasnt really expecting that but it could be due to the 'swan on the carriageway incident' which has now dropped off after 5 years (Not me...wife)

LV no longer insuring campervans ...

I just got my renewal from LV for my California Beach. So still insuring. Also policy renewal price halved from last years massive increase.

Really they told me they are no longer insuring campervans!

You could be correct. My van is classed as an MPV. It got caught in the 2019 dvla change. Had to pay massive road tax for 5 years.

They're probably renewing existing policies, but not taking on new business.

I have just received notice from LV that they will not be quoting for the renewal of my existing policy due to a change in their underwriting criteria.

 

[whodat]

My policy from LV has reduced by about 40%. 6 seater unconverted/unmodified. Only tried one other broker and they were twice the price. Guess, I'll be happy with this one.

So it looks like they are not covering third party converted vans.

When I phoned them back in January I didn’t get chance to say whether it was third party converted or a VW original… As soon as I said I was after a quote for a campervan they said they no longer insure them.
