NFU

Anyone have an old beast insured on NFU vintage tractor and having problems renewing?

Nope, just had the bod round this afternoon. 2x Fergie TEF, 1x Fergie TEA, 1xMf35 and 1x MF35X MultiPower for £394 at agreed values.
I gather they can get funny if you dont insure anything else with them but not in this position,

Its true about having other insurance with them we have buildings insured with them but when I asked for a quote for the quad bike they were not competitive, I found this also with my land Rover despite what people say, I think its different rates for different people maybe depends on how much you spend with them.
I stopped using them for tractors years ago due to high premiums.

I got the renewal as normal and phoned up to pay up but the little boy said I couldn't renew because I'm not currently doing shows or rally's (surely I'm then less of a risk???)The rest of the policy fits perfectly.
Argued the point but he just told me to look elsewhere.
Unbelievable.

Yes agreed, premiums crept up here, long standing customers etc etc. I went to Farmers and Mercantile for a quote and made sure the local NFU bod knew about it. He soon came around with some more sensible prices, which I then hammered him down some more on. Just got to keep an eye on them or they'll lift your leg.

You'd think it would be easy wouldnt you!!! Maybe worth a call to the little boy's next up the line?? I have found them to normally be very good. Especially when you need to claim for any reason.
