Westfield Elevens

I have always has the Eleven with Footman James on an agreed value policy and been happy with both premium and service.
I have just had the renewal though for next 12 months and its up 23% on last year which was up 17% on the previous year!
Yes, I know insurance rates are up, but on my other cars I have had negotiated a lower price or accepted a very small increase.
There has been much talk on chat sites about FJ and massive increase and frankly I would prefer to move my business to another provider if only to make the point, but who?
I am currently in the process of getting quotes from MSN and RH (who had no idea what a Westfield Eleven is!)
Any recommendations of good companies and competitive premiums gratefully received!

You could try Frank Pickles. I have moved the Caterham cover to them as they gave an excellent quote and if you search around the web you will find there are quite a few people using them. (I can't say though if they know what a W11 is.)

When I renewed last they didn't do inclusive track day cover which may or may not be a deal breaker for you.

Hi Chris, have you tried Competition Car Insurance? They seem to be nice people and have looked after my 7 for years. Like you, I have my eleven with FJ and like you, I've read the horror stories on BlatChat and so may have to move the Eleven this year. CCI might be happy to quote you for both the 7 and the Eleven?

Thanks for your help, I shall sort it on Monday!

You fellows probably don't want to know what it costs to insure a W11 with a value of $50,000 USD. No deductable. Stated value.

$250... And they don't care what tires I run on it. But they don't want me to race it. Fair enough. I can get "on track" insurance if I want.

A big thanks to all, I contacted everyone listed for a quote and was surprised by the results.
I think I have a really good deal and will post it once the paperwork has arrived and bears out the telephone conversion!

On a different subject it was good to see Charles racing at 750MC Brands, the weather for race one was awful but improved for day two.

Good clean racing but I thought Charles was going to chuck it into the gravel in the wet race, one hell of a wobble in the middle of Paddock Bend at speed, a great save Charles

Again a big thanks for all your insurance suggestions.

I contacted half a dozen providers and got a massive variances in both premiums and customer service!

I wanted to move from Footman James as their premiums were becoming excessive and they were extremely arrogant with the renewal, (take it or leave it), I fancied MSN as I like them, but they were 31% more than FJ so a no brainer.

RH came in with a good quote but the winner on both premium and customer service was A Plan/Thatcham (thanks Jon!)
I was seriously impressed, which is difficult with insurance companies, and will certainly be calling them first for my other cars.

They gave me the flexibility to choose a package that was right for me and the Eleven and saved me money too.

Moreover, the paperwork was on the button.

Glad it worked out, Chris. Lots of the WSCC use A Plan - that's where I got the steer from.
