I don't like my present insurer (1st Choice) on grounds of poor customer service, always charging for even minor admin changes (£25 for a phone number change - rip off) and mediocre cover, so am interested in learning whether anyone out there could recommend an LR-friendly insurer that understands customer service, and would be happy to include cover for 4x4 rallies, non-competitive offroad driving etc in the policy in return for a fair premium. I'm not looking for the lowest possible cost.
Got an NFU branch in my local town too, obviously be worth a chat. Any others?____

Just tried NFU on-line. Hopeless, they don't offer Q&B online. Looks like a visit to the shop....____

Spent couple of days shopping for insurance that did mods (specifically remap & moderate offroad mods) and offroad cover. Only choice was between Adrian Flux and somebodyorother at Lloyds and NFU.
Just had my renewal from NFU - £772.82 compared to £511 last year (53% increase)!! That is with full NCB and two 40+ drivers with no motoring offences. I called NFU Direct - (0800 072 0168 for those who don't want to go or call a local branch) - and was given the usual crap about policies increasing across the industry by 40% etc, etc. Using confused.com I found prices as low as £400. The best NFU could do was £688 by increasing excess to £450 from £350.
They also said they don't do specialist 4x4 policies any more. No quite sure what this means in terms of off-road cover but given the huge hike I cant see me going anywhere near them.

I have mine through the caravan club, it is under £400 and from memory is about the £360 mark, had one small claim 2 years and ago and full protected NCB if that helps. Not sur what they are like for mods etc Need to be a member of carvan club but that only costs £35 a year from memory so even if you join that you should still be better off.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
