Help Wanted......Laying up Insurance.

[VENOM500]

Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone has had a LAY UP Insurance policy on their Viper.I thought it might be a good idea to insure the car whilst its off road but so far the quotes i,ve had have boarded on the insane...best quote £480 worst £1400 It almost seems cheaper to have the car fully insured at this rate(£380)but the last time I laid up my TR6 /Lotus it cost around £60....so whats going on!
Any useful info would be great. Cheers,Tom

From my days working with Car Insurance numerous years ago, I remember being asked to organise Laid Up Insurance, and if memory serves me correctly it was something which was being phased out by most insurers. I think it'll take alot of digging around to find a reasonable quote. Especially considering the fact that the theft/fire aspect of the cover would still be required regarless of the lack of road risks.

I would stick with full cover, and if you have already got that at £380 you are doing very well.

If you get really stuck I'll happily look after the car for you Tom...

I had lay up cover when my vette was off the road when its engine was in the states. Think it was through Stevenage (i'll check with nutz)- wasnt very much.

Ive got lay up insurance on one of my motorcycles with Carol Nash insurance, it covers me for accidental dammage, fire and theft and is an aggreed value policy, I know they now do car policys so it might be worth giving them a go! Tel [phone]

Give Blackford Bloor a ring as they have always been very helpful to Cobra builders and offer a work in progress insurance which is very similar. I would post a link if I knew how so google them for details.
