Tractor insurance companys

[paul&mandy]

Just had my renewal through. Both tractors John Deere 5yrs old 130r and 155r. Bit shocked what NFU are asking.
What other reputable companies/brokers should I be asking to quote.
Thanks

Aston lark, brokers.
Really friendly and helpful
1/3 of the price of nfu, and no hassle when I had to claim 6 weeks ago.
10/10

Thanks I'm going to try everyone. Just need to make sure it's all like for like cover.
Done a call back for acres and a plan rural so far.

I did speak to them a few yrs ago. I was rather put out that the lady on the phone didn't seem interested that we are only small scale.

That’s a shame . I’ve used them for years .

I swapped to Acres and saved £3000 with better cover. I had the misfortune to have to make a claim within the first month of my policy and their service ( and settlement of my claim ) was excellent. Have recommended them to several of my customers/friends and they’ve all made similar savings and had the same excellent service so on that basis I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks Simon, quote is about £1000 more than last yr. No claims at all.
Also quote is for 2, 5yr old tractors.
Will be swapping 1 for a new tractor before December when it expires so it's going to be a bit higher too.

Don't mean to sound rude but you must be insuring a lot of value to get that saving?! We've just had our renewal price with nfu and nearly collapsed. Will look for a couple of other quotes next week, will ask lycetts and find someone else, not sure who yet as last time we asked acres 2 years ago they were more than nfu.

NFU gave me a big discount when I added a quad bike to my two tractors. Apparently a fleet of 3+ carries a better price structure than 2. Might be worth a try?

They have plenty on it already, 4 tractors, 2 jcbs, combine and digger. So presume that saving is already included.

 

[i dont belief it]

NFU 30% up this year no claims Lycetts wanted more not good.

I will get two other quotes and see what they are. We've had no claims either but they always increase.

Insurance prices increasing drastically? You have to ask yourself why that is?

Let's have a think...

Sky high natural gas prices- up 150%?

Risk of being hit by stray Russian cruise missile increased by 35%?

Increasing number of cyclists on roads- traffic now up 0.15% as a result?

Anecdotal reports of flying pigs and consequent rise in damage to building skylights 15%?

Increase in shareholder profit aspirations- bung on an 11% rise?

And last but not least, Brexit (which farmers all voted for apparently), slap on an additional fudge tax of 3.5%?

There you have it, a rise of 214.65%

Hope this helps.

We switched from NFU to acres this year and can recommend them for service so far though not had a claim.

Avoid a plan, they’re happy to sell a policy but leave you high and dry if you claim. No help at all in my experience. Even forced me into renewing as the claim crossed the renewal date if I wanted it to be resolved, then told me to sort it myself after I renewed

Went with acres in the end.
