Insurance choices

[Arron]

Hello

I'm returning to Ferrari ownership in a weeks time after a 3 year break. I have a F430 Spider coming and was hoping for some opinions on insurance providers as I'm sure it's all changed since I last insured a Ferrari.

TIA

Welcome back.....I wish I'd bought your 360 sports exhaust!

I use AIB for a Chubb Masterpiece policy who are now a site sponsor. Darren is the contact.

Not much has changed - Locktons still do a Ferrari policy etc - some folk still like Admiral etc - last summer's discussion is still fairly relevant

Thanks Jos, I will have a search for that post

AiB gave me the best quote this year and by about £50. ClassicLine is another I've used which was very competitive.

Thanks, I’ve had one quote from Lockton which I felt was sky high at £1300 +\- based on me being totally clean driver, 48 years old, 3k miles per year etc. Waiting for AIB to call me back from the web enquiry and I have the broker I used to use for the 360 looking at it as well. For the 360 I can’t ever remember paying more than £550 +\- per annum so I was surprised to get such a high figure from Lockton. Is that normal for a 430?

Thanks Mike, the exhaust stayed on the car when I sold it to Ian Barkaway - he kept that car until recently I believe, did some concours events with it but I believe it's just been sold

Thanks for the kind recommendation Mike

A pleasure!

If you’ve read through the whole thread, it would be good if you could help demystify the apparent gulf in pricing....

I just tried them for my new car but got a woman on the other end who wouldnt even send me an email quote. She gave me a price, gabbled off some comments and then said they wont quote in writing for fear of being " price matched". So I am expected to sing up for a contract not having seen any details of that contract.

I did the 430 through AIB and I dont recall this approach from them though I did think at the time that they were pretty casual and a bit slick.

Is this their normal way or doing business?I cant imagine the insurance ombudsman thinking a lot of it if it is normal. Or did I just catch this young woman on a bad hair day?
