Insuring a crew cab

Dizraeligears

Is it more difficult to insure a crew cab these days?
Mine is taxed privately,its for private use.Had it insured with Quinn a few years ago no prob.now they wont even quote.What do I do,lie that its for work?Was with Brittons last year,up for renewal,just shoppin round.Come to think of it I told them it was for work,the person I spoke to in Quinn Direct said there was a clampdown on this.

Sounds like they don't know what they are talking about. As a privately registered vehicle you can insure it privately and still have cover for business use as I have on my 110. It's commercially insured ones that I believe some insurers aren't covering for private use.

Don't try doing it over the phone with the big companies for anything out of the ordinary, computer will say no :rolleyes: Go to a local broker or insurance office, my local AXA office is very good.

Quinn dont seem to want business anymore, they pushed the renewal on my crewcab to over 4 grand, needless to say ill be going elsewhere, Axa through a broker qouted me decently

Indeed, they refused to quote me on a Sprinter van because I am in the motor trade.

Apparently they do not give out any commercial policies to anyone involved in the trade.

I had mine insured with AA, but the price went up about 30% this year.. Rang around and got a sub 500 Euro quote from Mike Murphy insurance on a L200 crew cab.. might be worth giving them a call.
