A question for Pick-up owners

Mundy · 09-02-2009, 19:40

Those of you who have double cab pick ups that are YOUR personal not company, how/who do you insure them through. I have a new idea for my next car, as Ford Rangers are only group 8 insurance and Navara's are only group 6! So gonna go for one but when you go thru Tesco etc online they don't list the pick ups as a car to insure?

I would've thought NFU would insure one but haven't had a chance to ring them

Cheers For Help!

Try Sureterm and Adrian Flux both do specialist 4x4 insurance and both offer club discount.

I'm insured by Tesco. When i bought the Nav i called them to transfer my cover. The first person i spoke to was a bit confused, I then got through to a very well informed guy and the deed was done in about 2 minutes.

Cheers

Im with NFU, always been helpful, mods and points did not affect the price.

NNMan just run that bit about NFU charging no premium for points past me again? Since living part time in Wales I've won six bl**dy points in 12 months on what was a clean licence for >10 years and Direct Line want an extra £40 for each lot of 3 points on every policy I have - thats £40x2x3=£240!!!!!

How do you know they didn't charge extra - did they say as much and was there any qualification, e.g. 3 is ok but not 6?!!?

NNMan · 10-02-2009, 11:33

Yes I told them I had three points and the price did not go up any but they said any more and it would.

Thats what I was told by them, good company. I'll give them a call and get a quote for changing to a Ranger then.

Cheers for help people!

If you do go for a ranger replace the rear leaf springs they snap for the fun of it! £55 for a single set from milners so £110 for the 2 but you will save that as an individual leaf from ford is £30.
