Hi Tom,
Long time no speak!
I insured my Pajero and now my Rodeo through Direct Line... but they were hideously more expensive to insure my M3 CSL which I ended up insuring with Swiftline. Specialist car, group 20, Iggy Pop ads etc - go figure!
But then swiftline completely refused to insure the Rodeo
NFU were really expensive quoted on both, but then they gave me unlimited mileage fully comp on a vintage tractor with no functioning brakes for £40!
Insurance is a bit of a computer lottery, if your location/vehicle/details suit their computer algorithms you win and it seems the only way to find out is to ring around sadly.
