Warning to ADMIRAL customers..

[Highlander]

Back when we were insuring for Academy in '03 it was still Competition Car Insurance, and at some point, ( i dont know when ans I cant remember why) Richard started up on his own.

Not sure that you lot (Mr "seen a lot of accidents in the mirror" Yu) bancrupted them, but I'm sure the underwriters took a hit!

Bonus if you ask me. We certainly got our moneys worth that year, and I still managed to arrange a group discount for the following year ..... or was that for year 1? I cant remember now.

Ta muchly.

Was gonna get CCI to quote regardless this year as only read good things about them on here. Was not aware that Elephant & Admiral are doing auto renewal so i'll be sure to call them in a couple of weeks to get their renewal quote & i guess i'll be prepared for the joke of a premium.

Sorry Andy, only just seen this reply pal. I get the impression they dont want any of my business as the GTR wasnt the only car on the policy that doubled in price.

& you was correct with the 5 track days p.a.. They will also cover the ring as long as its an organised closed circuit track day.

I've got my admiral renewal coming up in the not too distant future so will give them a ring tonight and see what they quote. I was more that chuffed with my multicar policy though.

How have people found insuring more than 1 car with CCI? I have 3 cars on my multicar policy at the moment. My GTR, daily run around 307 diesel and my girlfriends countryman.

So it sounds like CCI don't cover trips to the ring unless it's a closed track day. I'm assuming you can get additional insurance for the ring somewhere?
The reason i ask is i just realised i can get the newcastle to amsterdam ferry and then drive down and it works out as being closer than the majority of the tracks down south. Time to plan a little holiday i think

Do CCI now cover the Ring for track days? I was told they definitely didn't last year, but maybe they've changed their mind now there are so many closed track days there?

Would be great to know, as I'm heading out there on the 27th September.

Trust you mentioned your training with CATDT (previous and forthcoming) as discounts are also applied.

Sorry just seen your later post that confirms this!

Roger you'll need to come to see Colin at Millbrook as otherwise time at the Ring doesn't make sense as you won't understand what he's talking about.

Current policy is only for private track days ... tourist days absolutely not. There was a company that did provide cover as part of your annual policy for tourist days but that has been removed this year. I believe that getting cover for tourist days is nigh on impossible for UK residents.

CCI may review their option for private track day insurance in the future. Moris provided it last year but didn't this. CCI may go the same way.

David, i'm fairly certain that the gentleman i spoke with this morning said the ring is classed as a trackday as long as its a closed track and its organised by reputable company. I will double check when i phone him back to take out the policy.

For all those with an Admiral multi-car policy that is coming up for renewal, expect a huge increase in the renewal quote over and above what you paid last year.

However, if you play the game with them you can get the price you expected.

Go online to the Admiral website, get a new multi-car quote based on the EXACT details shown on your renewal schedule, and then phone up renewals and get them to match it.

I paid about £1850 last year, and my renewal notice came through at over £3600!!!

I went online, got a quote for £1900 and they have matched it.

Very pleased with £1900 for all 3 cars! (GTR, Audi S4, and Civic Type-R).

Ben.

Jo, yes I was talking about a closed, private track day. The entire venue was specifically excluded regardless of format when I originally took out the insurance with CCI. They made a point of mentioning it when they explained the track day cover.

Sin, I would be very keen to know if their stance has changed.

I understand from speaking with Eddie/Arcam today that CCI only cover it for a supplementary premium of :

£900 per day AND

£7k excess

I may have interpreted this wrong but sure Eddie will come on and correct me if that the case!

That is for a private closed day - no cover for TF.

Yep they told me last week the Nordschliefe absolutely not covered even on closed days but the Nurburgring (GP circuit) is fine on closed, organised day.
