not a good start to my land rover ownership

:frusty: called up my insrance company today to get changed over to my newly bought disco and basiclly got told to **** off i am only 20 but have had my licence 3 years and got no points, convictions or crashes so its a bit harsh of them to "not be able to offer you cover on that vehicle" :5brant:

tell me about it i had a row with my now ex insurance company ( lancaster ) when they couldnt even find the model of car i had on their database !

tell them to stick it up there arse and go to a proper company

Even the stealer couldn't find my Rangie on their database

Try specialist landrover insurance companys, look in Landrover magazines... there is loads of em.

try 1st central but find them through go compare it works out alot cheaper that way. We pay 480 fully comp

i had the same response when i got insured on my disco last year,they wouldnt insure me cos i was 20 so i asked to speak to their manager and he insured me,its got to be worth a try mate!

I use a firm called highway 4x4. 200 quid fully comp, but i'm 39 with full NCB. must be worth a try. It can be difficult to get insurance for 4x4s from main stream companies if you are young etc.

im 20, 1400 quid with elephant

if you just insure the land rover and not the elephant it will be a lot cheaper !

its well known elephants can go nuts and wreak things and they are hard to stop once they get going.

I had the same trouble ringing round the cheap companies when I got my 10 year old 200TDi a few years ago. And I'm 50+ with full ncd! Much easier now though - go to one of the compare the meercat sites and stick your details in - if a firm won't insure you then you won't get a quote from them.
And you'll quite probably get a quote from the firm that refused you!

Don't forget to make sure you get a refund for any unused policy.

im 19, adrian flux sorted me out, TD5 for 1200 fully comp!!

could always try NFU mutual (there used to knackered landies and so on)

Try sureterm, also look at ways of reducing premium - garaged, alarm/imobiliser(thatchem approved etc.), increase excess all the usual stuff!

wen i was 24, adrian flux insured my 200tdi for £340 tpft, with all mods. dont forget to tell them your a member on here to get a decent discount (i got 15% off)
