Apologies for having to ask such a mundane question, but here goes....

I'm currently insured with Chubb for my 570-4 SL, it's renewal tme and I'm wanting to look at alternatives. The main reason is a mix of "you're not our target market" and I always get a bad feeling when they can't even quote you on the right car. Even though it's a renewal so they have the details already.

It would be appreciated if someone can provide suitable alternatives. My key criteria are making sure it's repaired by an official Lamborghini dealership and it also has a guaranteed value. I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but the one with the best service, and actually delivers should the worst happen.

Yup, it's a dull thread but any positive recommendations would be good.

Thanks in advance,

GoM

Thanks for the reply - I'll give them a bell. If anyone else has any other recommendations they would certainly be welcome.

Most of my supercar owning friends (including Lambo owners) are with Mannings or Hiscox. Mannings offer track day cover and Hiscox don't.

I've been with both over the years (911's and R8) and they both offer fairly comprehensive policies with agreed prices and full main dealer repair.

I have an Admiral multicar which works out to be great value across the range ie we have a Gallardo and an RS4 as well as a Corsa and a cooking A4 and if you review "in the round" as opposed to individual best price it works out very well.

Thanks or the recommendations. It seems that Mannings are struggling to find out what a phone looks like. Currently waiting on an quote from Hiscox and had a quote from Zurich.

I must admit using Admiral scares the pants off me. I wasn't happy using them for my Q7 never mind the Lambo and they weren't great when I had to replace a Window,but each to their own. As we know what works for one person with insurance is a nightmare for others... simply no logic to it.

It's an expensive month for motoring...car insurance, service, tax, upgrades etc, and that's just the Lambo. It's the daily driver next...

Last year I had;

1 with Chubb
3 with hagerty /hiscox
1 with admiral
1 with Tesco

I now have 5 with admiral and one with Hagerty.

I asked and pushed
Could I buy the salvage ?
Could the car be sent back to main dealer for repair ?

After she spoke to her supervisor - the answer was yes to both of them, there was not a cap on hourly rates.

My wife was insured on the 2 family cars only - two at fault claims in 2014.
What would happen if I put her on all 5......
Price would go down £40 !!
Not that she will ever drive them

Value - they would not offer Agreed value, but as 3 of them seem to be increasing in market value, perhaps agree value isn't the be all and end all. Granted insuring a car for £10,000 wont automatically get me £15,000 just because the market has moved, but I can always keep them updated of where I feel the value is.

This saved me £500 pound over last year. I would have preferred to keep all cars with Hagerty, they know about the car they answer the phone quickly, they understand that some parts are NLA, they are a far better company to deal with. Phil Dunne I found to be excellent. But they wouldn't touch the wife or Lambo.

"But they wouldn't touch the wife or Lambo." That line made me chuckle... Thanks for the feedback.

So far Mannings still haven't found the phone so I'll call them tomorrow and Hiscox have failed to send the quote.

It's ridiculous that insuring cars is such a pain.

Another broker thats good is Nowell and Richards - I have had both a Chubb and now Zurich multicar / Fleet policy arranged through them.Zurich cheaper than Chubb.
Admiral good on price and I insure my sons cars through them but on anything " expensive " I wouldnt dream of using them - good and efficient but wait until you have a claim would be my concern.
