    It's normally tagged in with farm insurance, isn't it?

    Saying that, mine is with FBD for another year as I couldn't move it with the farm insurance after making a claim.

    I am interested in the same subject.
    The renewal premium for TPF&T from FBD is €197.65.
    Most, if not all, of the other Insurance companies will only provide tractor insurance cover if it is tied in with full farm cover.

    I checked with a Broker that specialises in Farm Insurance and was told that Tractor Insurance cover with other Insurance companies will be at least €200.

    If you happen to find a better deal, I would appreciate you letting me know.

    I tried in other years and when the Insurance Brokers found out that they would be competing with FBD, I wasn't even given a quote.

    There are at least three other companies offering Farm Insurance but they will only provide tractor insurance as part of a complete package.

    Axa asked 750 for tractor alone best they could do even with 2 cars insured with them for years

    That’s a good saving. Did you call them directly or through a broker?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭marknjb

    I cannot understand how you managed to get Tractor Insurance from AXA unless you have your farm also insured with them.

    I have just telephoned my nearest AXA Insurance office enquiring about Tractor Insurance.
    I was informed that they do not provide Tractor only insurance.
    As I posted earlier, they will only provide Tractor Insurance as part of entire Farm Insurance package.

    Years ago before I bought the land , dad insured a tractor with AXA. it was only for drawing turf but it was no problem. Probably 12/13 years ago but as he said he had the cars with them from when PMPA were good boys
