Title: Truck Insurance Again
Post by: EandM on April 02, 2013, 11:03:03 pm
The renewal for my Ranger is up soon and I've been quoted £455, up £15 form last year with Adrian Flux. I will try A-Plan as it comes highly recommended from this forum. Ran the details through Van Compare today and had a figure of £363 which was nice. Biggest surprise though was a chat with the underwriters and the revelation that an unsecured 400 litre tank in a pick-up isn't considered an issue and just classed as cargo - eg it's no different to a wheel barrow or bags of sand. Last year I argued this point and made no progress whatsoever - this year it looks like sanity may be prevailing !

It'll almost definitely stay within the confines of your load space.
Or cab. :-\

Our guy at A-Plan saved ciu members on average £84 last month.

Whether it's 400 kilos of water, or 400 kilos of bricks the result will be the same.  Point is - how many people would try to secure a stack of bricks?

In the heirarchy of life surely windies are above brickies.  ;D

In order to get to the cab it would have to pass through TWO separate steel bulkheads. Last year it was issue with the underwriters but his year apparently not - perhaps pick up installations are on the increase and the insurance companies have gained some new info ?
