Thread: Seriously Modified Defender Insurance $100K cover??? Is it doable?

What do the guys that build show cars do ? They would be pretty much in the same category I have found Shannons to be OK and they created no fuss at all increasing the cover on m y old Falcon ute, but not at the 100K price range

As my old insurance broker said years ago, you can get insurance for anything if you're willing to pay the premium.....

Try Club 4x4 again. They did the same thing to me at renewal time, dropped the value by $10k (and mine's nowhere close to having the mods yours does so it was a massive % drop), but after a bit of negotiation they put it back up again.

I was going to say Shannons (all of my Landy’s are with them) but wasn’t there a stink recently with Shannons? Something about if you go through a water crossing you’re not covered?

I contacted Shannon’s recently at renewal time when comparing options against Club 4X4.

They had no idea about Defenders, and actually looked at Car Sales while I was on the phone with them. I could hear them talking. They wouldn’t insure my vehicle above $60K at the time.

I will contact them again, but if they are not good at covering the vehicle for actual 4X4 activities, then I’ll give them a miss. At least I won’t have to listen to Glen Ridge carry on while on hold again!

It does seem a bit hit and miss with them - if you get a good operator that is. Maybe ask if they have a Land Rover specialist?

GG, yep, I’ll call them tomorrow to discuss.

Ive sent off a request to Club 4X4 again, and DGA. I’ll keep searching the net for specialist 4X4 insurers, and post the details here.👍

I hear you on the insured max of $60 thou. I've previously run into that problem with RACV Insurance except their max was a mere $40 thou.

Perhaps consider saving your sanity and getting an insurance broker to do all the running around for you. It's in his best interest to make you happy.
