So it was a call (or lots of them as it turned out) to my insurance company today, to get advise on when/how to change the policy over to motorhome now the V5 has been sent away.
Phoned them today, and then had a hellish day trying to sort out insurance.
Turns out my current provider don't do motorhome insurance, and their 'specialist' motorhome team don't do self-builds!
So they recommended a partner company (broker) who couldn't find an insurance company to take me.... with varying reasons being postcode area, my occupation, my 9 points or my no claims.
I had no choice either as I had been cancelled with my current company and so no way am paying their £50 fee either.
And this wasted a good while of my day making calls to them above, and waiting on call backs.
Decided to try through a comparison site, I got a few quotes from it and I also contacted Adrian Flux who specialise in motorhomes.
Adrian Flux were one of the better quotes I got, but one company were better still so just had to decide what suited me best.
And so after a couple of calls back and forward between them, I've changed my insurance over to Staveley Head.
Got to admit, their customer service was faultless, they were pretty much the cheapest, best excess and various other points which suited my needs.
Insurance for a motor home is cheaper than a van/minibus too, so over the year I am now £168 cheaper plus I now have UK Roaside, Recovery & Homestart breakdown cover too which is worth about another £80
So now that's official, I've got an insured self build motorhome!!
