Hi,

I need to insure the SL and was wondering what premiums any UK based owner was paying.

Thanks

Depends on where you live, how old you are, claims history, but £1200 - £1600 is typical for an old dog like me with full NCD.

db1

i have been quoted £1700, not too old a dog, but full NCD in Surrey.

Sounds OK to me...

£641 from LiverpoolVictoria but then I am an old man!!!! Next cheapest was £1300!!

db1

JohnH,

Can you let me know the name of your contact there. You can mail me at db101uk@hotmail.com if you don't want to post the name. Sounds amazing...even 1300 sounds good.

Based on my age, if you are getting that premium you must be 3000 years old

That is cheap! for a £93000 car. Gosh. That's about what I pay for my Ferrari, limited mileage, < £50k value.

JohnH

I am over 50 with lots of no cloaims bonus and no points!!! They also dont like people under 30. Here is the url: http://www.liverpoolvictoria.co.uk/c...troduction.htm

i pay 3900 swiss francs a year - thats 1764 sterling - old geezer with full ncd - price is equivalent to uk - my s600 costs me the same...

db1

I called them for a quote - £1279, that is nearly £500 less than I got from my original broker, who is usually quite good.

Thanks for the tip JohnH, not sure where you are but if we hook up beers on me...

I am paying £1400. Over 50, full no claims.

£1068.00 was my quote from Royal & Sun Alliance.

That covers a performance Pack as well. I spoke to the broker and the price is the same as the outgoing R230 500 SL.He said you reach a ceiling where the premium stays the same with some companies but escalates with others.

SL Boy

Surprising. The SL500 and 55 are both the same insurance group but over £20k different value when new. Virtually all the companies I spoke to declined to quote due to the 55 being over £80k.

blueSL

You don wonder how many companies would quote for the likes of an SLR or Enzo when they're sniffy even about a '55.

Tony Musgrave

The thing I forgot to mention ,which is relevant, is that on the SL 500 the policy excess was £500.00 whereas the 55 excess is raised to £1500.00

A further Policy condition is that Tracker must be fitted.

I'm 44 , full No Claims Bonus, and for £1600 AON cover my 03 Range Rover Vogue (the best car in the world. Ever!) and my wife's 03 SL55amg. I use AON because they insure my Lotus 340R , including track day cover , but I reckon they're getting me a good deal on the "everyday" cars as well.

David...is £1600 for each car or both?

d8ean

i won't mention what im paying....

23 Years old.....

Paul,

That's for both, which felt like a good deal to me.

David

SL Boy

Thats an incredible deal! Could you please pm me the AON contact details. Thanks

liveseyd

Paul,

Speak to Sam Aslett (a bloke) on 01483 706071 and see if he quotes you happy !

Good luck

David

SL Boy

Great - thanks David.

I have been out for a while, did you get anywhere with AON? This quote seems unbelievable. I am paying £1350 for my SL55 alone and £950 for my S500, plus £580 for a Volvo T5....and £150 for my 1000cc bike (that was a good one) a bit younger, but not much....

I couldn't get many multi-car policies that would accept the full NCD I have on all vehicles.
