I could have chosen from soo many titles:
"Let down by Volkworld Insurance"
"Recommend me some insurnace companies for modified campers"
...etc
Bascially while I was back in the UK over christmas/NY I fully intended on renewing/changing my insurance
Having been told by the Volksworld that I couldn’t go through the renewal process until I received my renewal letter (although it was within 30days of renewal) I waited for my renewal letter to arrive.
Low and behold, it had gone up…..by 32%. So I phoned up and went through the process of trying to reduce my premium. As I am living in Australia for the next 15months I thought I would remove my partner and my dad as Named drivers and put my dad as the new policy holder….for someone with 40+years’ experience, they wouldn’t insure him!!!
I then tried to remove the named drivers and reduce my limited mileage from 3000miles to minimum of 1000miles….surprise surprise somehow there was no reduction in my premium!!!
I then thought, bugger it, I will just declare it SORN and ask them to insure the vehicle….unless garaged, they couldn’t offer me a “laid up” policy. Bizarre thing is that the camper is kept in an gated apartment, with the parking in a further gated, underground carpark!
O ye, and we’re not talking about a nominal premium here, I’m talking about 700quid, lol. I’m 28yrs old (no claims or convictions) with Porsche 911 engine fitted and agreed valuation of 25k.
I will probably declare vehicle SORN, so was wondering whether anyone has insured an un-garaged vehicle while SORN. IF so, who did you use???
