Specialist Insurance

kathii, Jan 4, 4:42am
Does anyone know the best insurance company for specialist or higher priced vehicles, collectors cars etc.
In Australia there is Shannons Insurance, but I can't find the equivalent for New Zealand.
Any suggestions!

Swan, NAC, Clic for starters

I would also just try AMI. Can't tell you for high priced stuff but for classic insurance they were a fraction of the price that I was paying through Vero for their supposed special classic car club members insurance.

Worth a try, if nothing else its a comparison for you.

Awesome, thank you.I will send off some emails.I can tell this is going to take up a bit of my time!

What sort of vehicle is it!

Just thought that I would update, Clic and NAC weren't really what I was after, looked more to be aimed at young people with bad records, so tried for a quote through Swann, Tower (which my house is with) and Aon.Tower wouldn't help me via email, Swann came in at $577 with $500 excess and Aon at $392 with $280 excess.
Will go through the policys and see the differences, but for full cover, that is a big difference.
Thanks for your help.

Try Prestigio insurance if it's an exotic. I've got my Lotus Exige (somewhat rare and modified) under agreed value after independent valuation and they're excellent.

Why did you not try AMI as suggested!

BTW, I would be VERY hesitant about insuring my house with Tower.

If you join the Vintage Car Club, their policy with Vero is very good, $100 excess, and for example $40k cover for $275 pa. Your car would have to be 20 years old though I think.

Agreed!My E Type Jaguar is insured with AMI's classic policy, and unlike most policies it's unlimited mileage.Very reasonable premium too - cheaper than my everyday car

My modified mustang is also with AMI and very cheap compared to other options I looked at.
