4x4 vehicle insurance.

Let me know what you find as I also have the d max
Who are you currently insured with?
Insurance seems to have got technical, taking into account not only "your" age , driving / claims history, vehicle engine size etc.
A lot of it now seems to be weighted to the potential cost of repair / writing off.
I was toying with getting a 1985 LR pickup. Put it in an insurace search as an additional vehicle for me (cant use no claims on two vehicles) and named driver for a 17yr old girl, just passed test, and the quote was under £300.00.
Same specs with 2010 Ford Galaxy about £600
Same specs with 2016, 1.5l focus over a grand.
At the end of the day, if they see your vehicle being a risk (not you) the premium will be high regardless of where you look

Yep Just look at Range Rovers now. Virtually uninsurableInsurance seems to have got technical, taking into account not only "your" age , driving / claims history, vehicle engine size etc.

Have a much smaller Suzuki Grand Viatara and its a AWD @ £313 with Aviva Zero. Also I have found that Money Maxim does provide cheaper quotes than the usual ones such as GoCompare or Money Supermarket in case anyone wants to give it a try. I have found about £30+ difference for the same car by same insurer when compared between the two sites.

Did not Land Rover bring out their own insurance scheme for Range Rovers due the prices/ knock backs from regular companies?
Ken.
My mate is in his 70's and has an old Discovery. It used to be around £350, but this renewal they wanted over £900, no reason given. He did a "go compare" and got the same type of insurance but from a different firm for £600. It seems they have all gone up massively.
They all seem to have gone silly - mine have doubled at last renewal with absolutely no change in circumstance of claims history.
I was with LV a few years ago and the premium was hiked at renewal - did a "go compare", being careful to select like for like and the cheapest came out as LV, £50 less than my renewals quote!!
You might be very surprised.
I'm prepared to be shocked! (even if it did go up 40% last year!)
I’m with NFU. Just renewed for the L200
£458.28

Mine, the wife's and the son's insurance all increased by about £200-£250 this last renewal. All different sizes and types of car and all different insurance companies. Seems to be just that time that the insurance industry has decided it needs a profit top up again. It'll creep down over the next 3 to 5 years and then pop again.
