Which Insurers have I missed

[n brown]

That time of year has come again. I'll spend a day between Christmas and New Year phoning around, but who have I missed?
AIB (lost me last year)
Carole Nash (won the business last year)
Adrian Flux
Lancaster Insurance
C&CC
C&MC
Caravan Guard
Safeguard
Comfort
Caravan Wise.
I know I'm a glutten for punishment, phone calls are free and that time between Xmas and New Year can be a bit boring if it's wet and miserable.
I don't need breakdown cover as I've got that covered, any vehicle for £48 in the UK.

who's your breakdown cover ? sounds good

No experience of motorhome insurance before last year and I went with Classic Car Insurance | Car & Motorcycle Insurance | Van Insurance | Home Insurance

They provided breakdown insurance for extra £75 I think for 7.8 mar van.

Mine is due now and I will most likely go with them again

£48 that must be just breakdown and won’t cover a motorhome it cost more than that just for my car.

Job done. Fifteen insurers phoned and their I interminal questions answered.I finally found someone that was prepared to haggle, knocking £50 off his asking price, which was in the middle of the also rans, and that was Lancaster Insurance.

Auto Aid Breakdown Recovery. I pray I never have to put their claims to the test.

Lots of , as usual , good advice on this thread . Possibly most on here have a driveway or garage ?
I don't and , as always , lots of companies won't cover you .
Just wondered if any one knows of companies who will provide cover under these circumstances ?

All of them that I contacted were prepared to quote for my van that sits on the road.

Ok will persevere . First one I contacted , LV , said no . Also snootily informed me majority of insurers wouldn't cover me .
Existing cover via Adrian Flux just looking for some competition

Not my experience ... Several were not prepared to quote.

This may be postcode related of course, and insurers do change their approach.

The only option is to ring around and ask.

If they refused cover for on road parking they wouldn't do any business in Portsmouth. Off road parking is as rare as rocking horse s**t. I think there must be 30 vans within a quarter of a mile of my home.

I've tried using the comparison sites, but they seem to be incapable of doing anything vaguely specialist. I saw a website for Asda and Tesco but kind of discounted them for the same reason, but will add them to the list.

my car is with tesco until renew-hell, here looking at you babe, hope you get it wright,peases bee with you ,ok,pj

Thanks, but this is an old thread. I sorted it between Xmas and New Year. In the main I found the smaller brokers the most amenable to a deal, both for the car and van.

Lancaster, AIB, Adrian Flux, Carole Nash and Staysure were all happy to quote. They were all within a tenner of each other until Lancaster was prepared to do a deal knocking Forty quid off his original offer. Must have been a thin month for him.

There must surely be more than just on road parking affecting your insurance. Have you got a gold plated van encrusted with diamonds or something?

No it's the on street parking that is the problem . Many companies just don't do it
