Just interested on people’s experiences with Lancaster Insurance.
I took out a policy yesterday, but when I worked through the wording it was setup as a normal policy, rather than a classic scheme with an agreed value.
So I cancelled, with only a couple of hours into the insurance - I was changed £20 as an admin fee! I also mentioned the 28-minute wait for customer service to answer the phone.
Needless to say I am unhappy with their service.
I’m with them. Very cheap but no option for guaranteed value unless the car was worth a lot more.
There’s a fair bit of negative-Lancaster feedback on here if you do a search. Not had any dealings with them myself, but my experience of insurance companies generally isn’t great. I cancelled a £180 policy on a classic car with a rival to Lancaster recently after two months because I had to sell it. I got £50 back.
“Is that OK?” they asked cheerfully…
What choice did I have?
Unlike politicians, I believe they are all very much the same.
I’m with them and have an agreed value for my 2001 california…
Try Admiral, they do classic car insurance with an agreed value.
I’m with them (not classic/agreed value policy) just multi car insurance.
They recently transferred my then MX-5 insurance over to the newly acquired MX-5. I wanted temporary insurance on the other one until sold, they sold me a months cover for £15. I sold it 2 days into that cover and they gave me £13.74 back, no cancellation fee👍
I’m the same with insurance companies, never trust them, they always want more of you hard earned at any opportunity. Admiral are ok for me recently, long may it continue.
Do you deal with them by phone or online?
With Admiral I always renew by phone, you have to to get the price down. I never accept any renewal quote.
Lancaster the subject of this thread, well they rang me three times to give me a quote my fault I asked them to at an OC rally once. They pestered me twice after the initial quote which I said no to. I think there game was to get two others to requote thinking I’d accept. I was close to telling them to go away in a not nice way much was their persistence.
