Big hike in Insurance Premium

Just had my renewal quote from Land Rover Insurance - they cocked up last year with my Defender with a 500% Premium increase that they claimed was a software issue at their Centre when I phoned to query it but i’ve Just been told my RRS Premium has gone from £429 last year to £754 - I have made no claims, not been involved in any 3rd party incidents etc so how come it has gone up so much? I suspect that Stratstones who hold the franchise for LRI want out of it and are increasing premiums to force long standing customers to shop around and go elsewhere. Surely there haven’t been that many RRS stolen to hike premiums so much? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Unfortunately i’m Not in the right place to be going shopping around at the moment and renewal will be due on 27th April so will have to live with it until I get back to the UK. Hopefully i’ll Get 90% of it back when my new car arrives in May and I won’t need specific Land Rover cover. Ever since LR divested itself of the Insurance side the premiums have gone up and the cover down. I only insure with them because offroad use is part of my policy but after May I won’t need that. My Defender is insured with NFU Mutual and I can see my new car going to them too although I will also look at the big name discounters too to see what they can offer on a much lower value non offroad vehicle, it should be a lot cheaper to insure. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

LR wanted to hike mine to £659 this February, after asking why they offered me £5 discount, I suggested they should 'go forth and multiply' Insured with Saga for £306 with all the options.

Seems to be the thing with everything LR, they don't give a xxxx about repeat customers. 2018 MY19 HSE Dynamic, Santorini, Ebony/Ivory, Sliding pano, Adaptive cruise, Black wheels. Arrived 3rd September 2018

Interesting about Saga, I have been able to use them for almost 11 years now and consistently they have been double and in one case 3 times the cost of any other quote I have had......... I stopped asking them after 6 years of disappointment. I suspect the reason was I sent them my policy document for LRI and asked them to match the cover........... which they couldn’t do for the same price as brokers or LRI - I think the offroad use scared them off. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Saga just gave me a good quote but the excess was stupid. My renewal from Hastings was over £600 with £900 excess, ridiculous. Gone with Admiral..£346 premium with £350 total excess Thumbs Up Steve.
