Insuring Caterhams

[bushhpd]

Looking for some advice on insurance as considering a Caterham purchase.

Who are insurance companies worth considering (I know Caterham offer their own insurance but are there others worth getting quotes from)?

I would be using it for a few trackdays every year so would need insurance to cover me for that.

Any thoughts much appreicated!

MSM Insurance.

[Tango7]

MSM don't offer trackday cover with their policies

Usual two to go and get quotes from are Richard Eggar Insurance who are underwritten by Chaucer (0115 985 0165) or Competition Car Insurance underwritten by Norwich Union (0115 941 5255)

Both over very similar cover to include 4 free trackdays with approved track day organisers or free windscreen cover

MSM is my recommendation too.

Competition car insurance (which may be Caterham Insurance) offer 4 track days a year. Tel [phone]

trya search for insurance on Blatchat.com - plenty of options and if you join the lotus 7 club you can get a discount.

MSM Insurance

My caterham is insured through heritage, they cover 4 trackdays a year, as long as they are LotusOnTrack or Lotus 7 Club, and the premium was 1/2 of what Caterham Insurance quoted me.

Here's another one Richard Egger

We've always been very happy with the price and the customer service, give Mary a call on 0115 985 0165

more than double the price of MSM in my experience!

Not in mine though..and I get trackday cover too

I do know a fair few people who have found MSM very good both on pricing and claims....guess it all depends on what sort of cover you want and what risk you are, everyone if different.

I'm with MSM insurance also.

Hi there,

just bought and insured my first caterham and it was Footman James who offered me the best deal with guaranteed value limited miles, roadside assistance etc. Don't plan to track the car just yet but the deal was good.

[Pingman]

Does any one insure you for more than 4 track days a year or even to go racing, In Roadsport for instance?

[BertBert]

You wont get race insurance included with a road policy. It's very expensive!

Adrian Flux were best for me. MSM wouldn't insure me because I had my tow car stolen from my driveway last year (protected no claims and first claim in 20 years but never mind). I think I have ended up with Chaucer via Adrian Flux but £277.35 for a limited mileage policy (5,000 miles p.a.) and no requirement for a no claims record.

Don't know about track day cover though.

for race insurance contact insuremotorsport.com they sponsor the caterham series and were offering a very good price last year.

ah cool, What's a ballpark figure?

[Murph7355]

Thumbsup from me for MSM.

I currently use Footman James though as they've been great with me over the last few years on a "collection" policy.

[casbar]

Hagerty Insurance, they charge a flat 10% of your original price for each trackday. Agreed value. They also cover for trackdays abroad. Been with them years, and have always been impressed.

MSM is very good, but no trackday cover.
