Track Day Insurance

[hbk]

Hi All

Only approx 4 weeks to go before i get my car and can't wait....

Is anyone here have insurance that includes Track Days?

Just had a quote from Direct Line for £800, but not Track Days...

Any advice would be welcomed.

Cheers

Howard, don't know about track days. I found elephant.co.uk to be very cheap. their website is a piece of cake. I'm 30, have two SP30s, seven years no claims and experience, live in a low crime area and my insurance is 830 quid. Putting the girlfirend on the policy (she's only been driving six months) made it cheaper by 50 quid!!. No tracker required either...

PS: Noel Dazely, who advertise on this site, say the car is to high in value and couldn't give me a quote!

Aye, but I live in the north of scotland where all the cops have to worry about is the usual high jinks on a weekend and car drivers speeding on quiet roads well out of town (curiously they don't seem interested in speeding in town). Very little crime compared to the big smoke. Can't actually remember hearing about any car crime to speak of although I guess it does happen. I'm surprised you got it down to just over a grand for london to be honest. I found several companies won't insure over 50k. Elephant is not one of them mines on for 54k. Even with tracker it didn't make much odds, and certainly nowhere near worth the annual fee. If my car gets nicked I'm not sure I want it back either!!

u lucky they offer it in UK, not here brother - we have to live on the edge :O)

Maybe I phrased that a bit badly. It wasn't worth getting the tracker fitted as it cost too much and didn't make enough difference to the quotes.

I got a good quote from MCE in wellingborough. (number on yell or google) They beat quotes from confused.com and moneysupermarket. didnt require a tracker. They were also willing to drop the cost further if i declared the car value to be less than £50K.

Didn't actually mean to post that three times, pesky work network keeps crashing at the crucial moment! soz...

And that one twice

I used to be with elephant and can't fault them. I'm an old git in low crime area but have full class 1 business use, mods and cost about £600. Elephant do not cover any mods - they will only replace with OEM.

I have just changed to Greenlight (site sponsors) who do Track day insurance cover for £ 50 a pop and all they do is double the excesses. I think that's a damn good feal, considering I was getting trackday cover via MORIS and the premiums varied from £80 (for an evening session) to £ 180 for an all-dayer...and the excess was £2500.

So - try Greenlight. I also tried Noel Dazely. but they seem to prefer to insure classic and older cars.

I'm with Greenlight. All mods declared (of course) and it was £620ish.

Trackday's for £50 fully comp is great.
