Anyone know what’s happened in the last couple of months with insurance prices? A couple of months ago I was getting quotes of about £2.5k for the P550e I had on order and now the best I can get is over £5k. Have insurance companies ramped up the prices since Christmas?

That’ll be me cancelling now, they are basically selling a car that is borderline uninsurable.

The forum has plenty of examples of people finding insurance premiums going up in to the thousands. And it's not just RRS either - other makes are also suffering for various reasons e.g. old Honda Jazz that some companies won't now insure because the cats are easily nicked. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I know they’ve gone through the roof, but it’s literally doubled across the board in the last 2 months for me and nothing has changed.

Just checked the new Land Rover insurance and that’s £280 a month, could maybe stomach that but never thought it would be the case that there’s is the most reasonable option.

I've tried a few insurers today (LV, Aviva etc.) for a new 2024 RRS I was about to order.
I'm rural, middle aged, full NCB, clean sheet, other cars, all garaged etc.
I'd read the news but figured I'd be basically ok, glad I checked.
The 3 I tried all came back with "Sorry we cannot insure you". Only LR would cover at all from ones I checked and it was £3k. Not end of the world but read a few stories of LR also refusing to insure some people - it's only LR branded I presume and they must have an insurer behind it. If they're one of limited options and they also change over next year or so it'll be a bit of a muddle.

I'm putting order on hold for now much as it pains me.

Yeah I’m much the same, I knew it was bad but it seems to have got even worst over the last couple of months. They’ve got a major problem now, I can see most people who don’t have the money to buy the car outright cancelling as adding £300/£400 to the finance payments is becoming something that’s very hard to stomach.

It's strange to be underwritten by LV as they would not insure my P460E AB even though I was an LV customer.

I think it will hit second hand values hard, my quote is 2.5k that’s ok on £100k car but not at 50k. Based on latest press does seem prices unfair equivalent cayenne for me is £850

A replacement value of £50k for the same theft risk ought to result in a lower premium than the same car at £100k. But this is the insurance mafia we are talking about.

And one can get a perfectly good second hand RRS for much less than £50k. OK, it's going to a year or two older, but the saving on the purchase price covers the insurance premium.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
