ArtistsRifles Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 From a certain insurance company that was taken over recently. last years bill for the Stalwart and the Landrover was £136. This year they want £440.01 - AND - they won't accept the OT-90 after having accepted it and charged me £36 a couple of months ago!! When I queried it on the phone they said that KGM won't issue any figures because there is (apparently) still a personal injury claim going through and the new mob they'd quoted with, Chaucer Insurance, won't touch tracked armour. Suffice it to say I'm pee'd off in the extreme!! :argh::argh::argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 One thing I forgot to mention - the recovery service seems to have been dropped as there was no mention of it on the renewal (last year it was a seperate entry on the list of costs) and when I asked on the phone the person the other end basically ignored the question. I really think the service from this company has gone to pot since they were taken over!!! :-( :-( One of these days I shall get to play with the OT!! Right now - collection and delivery to Gt Yeldham is scheduled for the 7th June. Should get a chance to play a bit then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil, I renewed my insurance with same company yesterday, premium about the same as last time......and they still do the recovery scheme, it was on the renewal letter, and when I renewed over the phone, I was offered the option.

ArtistsRifles Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hmmmmm.... To be honest Richard - I got the feeling over the phone that, following last Octobers incident, they really didn't want my business any more. Might just have been the attitude of the person on the phone and/or me being overly sensitive - I've no idea really - but either way, they lost it!!! It's a shame as, prior to the take over if I had to ring them the person I spoke to was always keen and reasonably knowledgeable about the vehicles. When I added the OT a couple of moinths ago I specifically told them it was an APC yet the one on the phone today insisted it was a tank and would not have it any other way. God only knows what she would have made of the Stalwart..... :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 maybe they thought APC was short for All Purpose Caravan ? ...Just kidding !! So Sorry to see /read all the problems and roadblock's that have been put in your way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Roadsure was great when it was family owned and every client was known personnally. I'll wait to see what happens when my renewal comes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Having talked to Neil today, think when the renewal comes up may be time to shop about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've just renewed the Militant, Ferret, FH70, LandRover and 2 trailers with Footman James all for the very reasonable price of £122.85! Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) I was expecting a figure around the £250 mark as the system works on a "percentage of the vehicles value" basis and the OT is currently worth around £26K as the bills stand currently. £440 is - to me - extracting the urine!!!!! :argh: Edited May 19, 2008 by ArtistsRifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Burley Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I renewed mine back in March with the same company as the OP.Mine went from £390-£524.That was for a Ferret,Jeep,101,110.I took out the vehicle recovery policy,which when the docs came through was not on it.Phoned again,and got the confirmation through.I then asked them for agreed value on the Jeep and 101.I was told i needed to submit 6 photos of each vehicle.Fair enough....,then £80 additional admin costs.What the f**k!..It was much better when it was originally A.C. Miles.I think this will be my last year with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Folks - don't forget that all HMVF members get a discount on their insurance from Footman James - their banner will be back up on HMVF soon - just click on it all call them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I didn't like renewal price quoted,..phoned around and ended up going with Cherished Car Insurance. They offered same policy, with same company squids less. less overheads and flashy advertisments to pay for, I guess. contact me for guys details,........(no website.)
