Hi all

I'm new to the forum as I'm just buying a 10 month old RRS HSE ex demonstrator this week, having last had Range Rovers over 20 years ago. The first unwelcome surprise is that my insurer RAC Direct, that I have used for my last car ( a LS430 Lexus), refuses to cover the RRS without a tracker being fitted. I also rang Land Rover Insurance, now under written by Aviva, with the same response. Apparently RRS are regularly stolen for use as ram-raid tools.

What am I buying into!!

I have found several insurers who will take on a RRS with out a tracker but I am amazed at the Aviva attitude (they appear to own LRI and RAC, through intermediaries). I ended up with Allianz. The requirement for a tracker causes additional costs that I can well do without!

Cheers

Try the comparison web sites - you might be surprised at prices quoted depending on your circumstances. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yes, I ended up with Allianz thro www.Gocompare.com, the premium of £428 was £100 less than most of the others but still £100 more than I was paying for the Lexus.

I had same problem with my insurers Privilege wanting tracker when i bought my RRS HSE.

Cheapest quote for me with Admiral and no tracker required £310 fully comp/protected no claims  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Craig, Firstly welcome to the Forum
LRI insurance used to be underwritten by Royal Sun Alliance and luckily I am with them,
and as long as I don't change I can remain on the old LRI policy indefinately.
Sadly they are not allowed to take new LRI clients as LR have now passed LRI insurance
business to the new supplier. Who:-

A. Don't provide the same level of cover.
B. Are more expensive
C. Insist on a Tracker

Begs the question. In what way exactly does the new deal benefit Land Rover customers?  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
2013 Evoque 5 Door Pure Tech SD4 - Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof (Mrs E's new baby)

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

I have been looking for quotes on my renewal for an 05 2.7 TDV6 and Admiral also came up cheapest with £295 for me including fully comp and protected no claims. They dont require a tracker.
I did try a number of comparison sites and they all cited Admiral as the cheapest but the quotes ranged from £295 to £365!!

Hi all,

Give direct line a try got mine done for £323 fully comp no tracker needed(for me and the wife as named driver.
Cliff
Ps LRi wanted £737!!!! Works well when WATCHED

Cliff , how did you manage to avoid a tracker with Direct Line? They were cheapest for me in NI but required one!

I agree, The reason I originally left Direct Line was that they insisted on a Tracker. Have they changed their policy? 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

i would double check that Cliff, knowing the workings of DL from the inside out i wouldn't be suprised if the person on the phone didn't tell you the tracker requirement, so he/she could get there £2.00 commission

especially when they are linked to Tracker through RBS

Try swift cover, half of any of my other quotes.

I did try Direct Line and they wanted a tracker but they sent me a quote anyway on the understanding you would have to have a tracker. Came in at £256 fully comp protected no claims and my wife as named driver. Swift just sent my renewal and it has come in more than £100 than with Admiral.

Sorry for the delay in replying back at work so not always able to get internet signal,i have checked and double checked, also had insurance docs through and direct line have my RRS insured fully comp for myself and my wife with no tracker nor has one been advised for me to fit,Could it be a southern thing .

Cliff  Works well when WATCHED

I have fleet insurance which insists on trackers on anything worth 30K+

It is annoying though because I have GAP insurance and therefore if my RRS was stolen I wouldn't want it back!!!
