My Liverpool Victoria Insurance on a UK Scoob MY00 is up for renewal. The price is 31% up on last year despite no change in details - anyone else experienced similar rises?

I talked to them on Tuesday and they thought it was a mistake and would look into it - he said they would investigate and get back to me.

I hadn't heard anything so contacted them today. The man on the phone said that they aren't looking into it and the quote is correct - he mentioned a big Impreza claim in particular which has increased premiums.

I'd be interested if anyone else has had similar with L&V - starting to regret recommending them to loads of people...

Cheers,

Ian.

My Insurance is up as well...I just phoned them today. I've got an old Legacy Turbo and it a joke my quote!!! I asked why and the guy wasn't very helpful. By the way how long if there could be a potential third party claim do they have to wait until I'm in the clear? Its that guy who wanted money for the job and I think he wasn't Insured.

S.B.

Mine is the same, no difference for changing to an evo either Who said evos cost more to insure. Full business use for no extra either

I just told them I'd changed the wheels. They said that was ok but they wouldn't cover me for any other mods!

just renewed mine again with Liv-Vic, and what a surprise... its gone up again

I just got my renewal figure from LV & it has gone up £25.
I called them to make them aware that I had recieved 3 points (sp30) so would the renewal quote remain the same. Chap on the phone said no difference.

From looking at other peeps quotes who are with LV & have similar details to mine (imported earlier wrx, age, ncb, sp30)
It seems I am paying £150 to £200 more, must be my postcode (Bham)
Overall I am happy with the quote as other insurance companies go into 4 figures. Plus if there are any mods to your car, some won't even quote other charge 10% to 50% more depending on mods?

So I think I will be sticking with them for this year anyway.

Yours has got to be a mistake (31%)

Anyone got the number for L+V so i can give them a try?

Yes thats what I thought - and that what the first chap I spoke to at LV thought. He was very helpful and said they would investigate and get back to me. He even said they could extend my current cover by 7 days if needs be until it was sorted. After four days when I hadn't heard anything I chased them up and got a bit of a take it or leave it response. Maybe someone will eventually get back to me?

Thanks for all the feedback - the fact that other people are receiving renewals with just a small increase goes against what I was told on the phone about all Impreza premiums increasing substantially.

I'll keep you posted on how I get on.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hmm LV would only recently insure the wife as she is now 30........ They would'nt touch her before she was 30 and she has her own full no claims, no points, no accidents, etc

Why cant LV get their act together........... My insurance is up at the end of this month so I best start ringing around - I expect to get the LV renewal a few days before it expires........

I think it depends on the car with L+V. If it's a UK classic they will insure people over the age of 25, but if it's an import/WRX/STi then you have to be over 30. I'm looking to move to mod-friendly L+V in October when my fiancee is 25 (car is a MY00).

Hi Steve,

Are you running a UK model or import model.


ps. YHPM

Steve,

L+V don't have a 4 door classic STI on the books, so they can't quote on them. Been that way for the last couple of years. If you have a type R, thats fine.

Having just spoken to them, I can confirm that L&V will only insure under 30's for no higher than a group 17 car e.g. classic turbo. Anything above that e.g. UK WRX, STi and Jap imports and you have to be 30, regardless of how many years no claims bonus you may have. Bummer!

However, I must say that they were one of the few companies that would give me a feasible quote, are very mod friendly and I found them to be helpful. Their 2 for 1 NCB scheme for Newbies is an exceptionally good idea, too!

A31% Rise could only mean a significant change in details (maybe an error/typo) on their system or be the result of a claim or serious conviction. If you haven't already, I'd get them to reiterate ALL of your details back to you as it appears on their database to ensure accuracy.

If not try Keith Michaels (Also mod friendly)
Good luck.

Just got my re-newal quote through and it has increased by about £10 I think - due 28/08.

What puzzles me is the vast difference there appears to be on quotes on here (scoobynet) with the same provider (not just L&V) for people with similar cars, mods, ages but different post codes (one in particular is only about 30 miles away from me though). I can't believe the post code can make between £120 - £250 difference! Or am I that wrong?

Would be interesting to hear comments/views.

I renewed with L+V end of July and it was £200 cheaper which surprised me as a renewal quote over the phone a month before was at least £200 more than my previuos year ??

ticky

I thought the same, paying £100 more with similar details to another sn member. The difference being I own a jap import, were as his car being a uk model.
I think the jap model are group 20 & uk models 17.

Spoke to someone at LV last night. They are saying that certain postcodes such as Birmingham, Bradford etc. have been re-classified and this is the sole reason for the rise.

What other companies insure UK Scoobs without tracker?

Just checked my VISA statement and LV charged me the full amount on 6/8/4 - insurance not due until 14th anyway...

ticky

I got my renewal quote last week advising me to complete/sign & return the letter/application if wanted to continue insurance with LV.
I was given options for payment : CC,DD,Monthly installments etc.

It's not right them taking your £££ with out your permission.

scoobimax

Well you'd have thought Tesco's looking here - Try this thread look at post #11

But this is my experience quoted on another thread

I'd be interested in other companies who don't insist on a tracker - I don't want my car back if some thieving scum has ragged it about! They can keep it and I'll buy another another and start again.
