Just agreed a deal to buy a 130 tipper. Very excited, pics to follow later in the week.

 

Only downside is the insurance is going to be extortionate.

Why?...

The quote from trust was high. ive been driving nearly 13 years, near 8 years no claims (on two other policies) clean license (sp30 still showing from 4 1/2 years ago) storm damage claim from near five years ago.... they wanted £1080 any driver over 25 and £860 for just me. They have always been reasonable for my transit, defender 90, tools, EL & PL insurance but i felt this was high. They said it was because its a new policy and they could only mirror 2 years no claims.

I have a heavily modified discovery tipper with NFU at 600 quid

They obviously cover it for business use? in the past NFU wouldnt cover my defender 90 for business use!

 

It goes in swings and fits, if you luck on an underwriter who is looking for business it will be cheaper, if they are at saturation it will cost more

 

Try a few more, it's a chore but it can save a respectable sum

In fairness trust explained to me that it was due to me starting a new policy for the vehicle. In a few years it should come down in price.

But i think i will be phoning around tomorrow to try and get a few prices.
