Insurance

[Moody]

I need to arrange insurance cover for the new boat.

I am currently with Haven Knox Johnston who have quoted £793.

Cover My Boat have quoted £854.

Has anyone got any suggestions for some good alternatives.

Forget SAGA I don't qualify (yet) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks

bishop skinner,mardon,,alker bros,
but £800 or so sounds about right

 

[itsonlymoney]

Sounds ruddy expensive to me. Give alkers a ring. Cover things online quote for me was less than alkers ???

I pay about £600 with JW Direct for a 30 footer so those quotes dont seem too far away.

If you are an RYA or RNLI member you get a good discount with Bishop Skinner.

Just a thought!

Depends whether you want the cheapest or the best? I think GJW are generally the best, not sure who is the cheapest.

 

[Moody]

Thanks all.

GJW have just quoted £955 /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I am not looking for the cheapest, but obviously wanted to get some benchmarks against HKJ.

It looks like I will be staying with them.

Thanks again

Get a quote from Pantaenius and compare their terms with others.

I looked at it all very closely when I renewed in March and definitely felt that Pantaenius covered more stuff than the norm - based on a close reading of their terms and discussions with an underwriter, rather than the sales blurb.

I paid £985 against my renewal quote from Mardon of £885, but felt it was worth it - obviously we all hope it is a waste of money and we never have to claim, but my mind is definitely more settled by my decision.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and www.cheersboatinsurance.com was suggested. Speak to Veronique on 0208 943 5333. their quote was very competitive.

Re: SAGA Insurance

We are with Traffords, third year now, good rates and paid out quickly after a theft ( after a bit of argy bargy about the £££s)

Re: SAGA Insurance

This year I rang round all these companies and ended going with St Margarets Insurance. It is definitely worth shopping around!

Saga insured that narrow boat I worked on they took ages to pay out.

hlb is insured with them I think they have been good over his water ingress shock in salcome.

I suppose your insuring twice as much value as moody blue so its bound to be high.

Try Alker brothers, always been very competative.

Had cause to make a claim 3 years ago, paid without quibble & cheque was there before the boat was back in the water.

Been with them ever since.

 

[oldgit]

Have just reinsured with them(Craftinsure) for the 4th year running,my premium has gone down from last year and when I made a claim they paid out fast and without quibble on damage caused by an accident which was entirely my own fault.
