Just had the renewal for my Wildtrack from a broker. It's going up from £550 to £1,050. I contacted NFU, who have all of our other policies and they quoted £1,150. Are other people finding their pickup premiums have doubled?

These guys were over 50% less to insure my Navara with same FC level cover. NFU were found to be taking the pi$$ and they are losing all our policies now as a result.

Recently renewed my insurance and fairly sure that the 2014 Ranger Limited automatic cost less this year than last and was no more than £400 but with a £100 excess. Fairly sure it was either £350 or £360 with any driver over 30 years of age. Obviously full no-claims discount.

Who are you folks insuring with?

I moved to the local broker, Caleb Roberts, several years ago and have been insuring with NIG through them for the last 3 years. Saving was £800/yr (25%) over the NFU, and they've been ever bit as good with any (small) claims I've made.

I just looked on my last renewal and my L200 is lumped in on the same policy as a tractor, a SP sprayer, telehandler and quad bike. Cover was £1400 for all of those, fully comp.

I have moved between these 2 for past twenty years and can't fault either. Caleb are using Victor for vehicles at the moment.

Current 57plate ranger, 3 named drivers, all over 30, full ncb, also covered for commuting to my other job (important to check small print that it covers this)
Around £400
Looking to change to 14 plate amarok, no change on insurance.
 
I find vehicles ok with NFU. Everyone was telling me to look around. I have a 10yr old Skodia and time you added breakdown, windscreen and of course low excess no one could beat #550 fully comp. Protect nc. Business and pleasure. Spent hours do this to achieve no advantage.

Its not like for like obv where you live has a major effect.

But NFU on house insurance has come back with a silly quote. Even after spending 30 mins on questions.

Double cab picks seem expensive to insure to me.L200 18 plate is £600 with NFU yet they insure our 5 tractors and combine for £800 ,value of £120k and a couple smallish claims in the last couple years,seems odd.

Sometimes these direct line type companies won’t do business insurance only private, that’s why they are cheaper, something to watch for.
