LV have emailed to say they will no longer insure my 2018 RRS Autobiography when the policy expires next month, the email reads as if they are exiting cover for RRS generally due to the theft rates. On comparethemarket Hastings quotes come out way more competitive than most other providers for me (central London, on street parking) but I’ve never come across them before; does anyone have any good / bad experience of dealing with Hastings when they’ve had to make a claim etc.

Thanks

Give APlan Thatcham branch (site-sponsors) a go, they can be good. Joined the X5 45e club

I've been with Hastings for 8 years now (5 yrs with Jags & 3 with RRS) and haven't had any issues apart from them trying to hike the renewal amount for my XFR up several years ago. Went onto Meerkats and found that Hastings were still the cheapest, though £100 less than the renewal quote they sent me. Quick phone call to Hastings who then reduced the quote to a £5 less than that on the Meerkats. Same thing happened the following year. Since then I've checked Meerkats every time I get my renewal quote. Interestingly, the quote I got this Feb from Hastings for renewal was £20 less than the Meerkat quote for Hastings- needless to say I didn't complain! If you have a private reg it's very handy being able to change the number on line for free when it's time to change cars. 2013 L494 5.0 SC in Chile Red
