Hi,

Just wondering how you guys are insuring your SVR's? I'm 33 with 6 yrs NCB and have been quoted £2,800. This seems a lot of money as i can insure a Lambo Huracan for £1,800.

Any ideas why the SVR is coming out so much? Even a diesel Range sport is £2,200 to insure.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Lee

Because they're highly desirable, relatively common and were very easy to steal. Unfortunately insurers don't seem to have reduced premiums since LR made them harder to steal...

Have you shopped around? I get considerable variations on the compare sites (not that I have an SVR) Merc C220 estate Sport AMG
Merc C220 estate Sport AMG 125 year edition
Alfa GT
Rover 76 V6

That was the cheapest quote on compare the market, do you think i would get cheaper prices using go compare or money supermarket?

Thanks

I recently read the regulator has changed the rules where comparison sites no longer have to show the cheapest quote, they can now show the quotes which give them the highest commission, with you having to dig deeper to get the best prices. Some crap about better competition for the customer ????

The best way to sort that is to compare, then buy direct so they never get commission- when they lose money they may improve. 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

Give NFU a try.

Try Direct Line, they don't provide quotes on comparison sites. My lowly 3.0l diesel HSE is £430 a year with them, but post code has an aweful lot to do with insurance cost.

what the others said - my SC highest quote on the Meerkat was £10,000!!! Average seemed to be around £1200 I'm 51, full no claims but 2 x SP30... a lot wanted £1000 excess and a black box for 3 months.... Phone A-plan (one of the site sponsors) £500 excess, new for old for the first 12 months, no black box... happy with the incontrol secure = £640 they had to make a call to the under writer as the 3.0 SC is a new engine to the UK Market  GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded - 2020 110 loving it

Ow yes they do,,I got a quote from direct line for my house insurance a couple of years ago & I thought it was too much,£380.So I went on price comparison site & got a quote for £106,then I called direct line & they asked who the provider was & when I told them they said it was their sister site & would match the price

The SVR comes with a tracker.....and when I insured mine that was sufficient. I'm with Admiral Insurance with a multi car policy. I can only assume your quotes maybe high due to your age as well as postcode and a million other things that are taken into account which when questioned never make sense . Try putting your wife/ partner on as well sometimes that brings price down as well. Good hunting
