Wonderful Aplan service as always
Well another year has gone by and 2 insurance policy’s were due renewal. After shopping around, and then contacting Carlie at Aplan they were once again offered at a sensible price with all modifications declared. Nothing but praise for Carlie and her team at the Thatcham branch. Site sponsors also, and come highly recommended from myself having used them for a number of years now, dont forget to mention the forum 2003 BMW M5- 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Think alot must be to do with your post code and age of the vehicle. A Plan told me my car was too new and worth too much and couldnt find any cover even with the only mod being tyres. Driving 35yrs and 25+yrs no cliams im beginning to think its the luck of the draw sometimes.
Glad they got it sorted for you D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo
D3 HSE MY06 missing her still…

Tried to get a renewal for our 3 vehicles but as my daughter is 25 was told that they had to charge a minimum of £300 so no point in even quoting as her current provider is around the £200 mark.

Thanks for trying us each year anyway we can't win them all unfortunately but we do try! Insurance schemes change all the time so it's worth looking again at renewal
Often it's a mix of post code with where vehicles are kept... so for some post codes the insurers will cover if garaged/drive way but not if it's parked on the road... Or a mix of different factors entirely - many have some kind of criteria to be met.
Hopefully one day you'll come over to the A-Team

Just a reminder to make sure you're contacting Carlie's specialist team at Thatcham rather than your local branch 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Cheers Martin!
Local branches do not have the same cover we have available in Thatcham - we have specialist cover for modifications and off-road cover along with limited mileage and agreed valuation schemes also.Howden | Specialist Vehicle Insurance

I have recently switched from Adrian Flux to A-Plan, as they beat them by quite a bit, for the same modifications etc.

John P... YAY!! Welcome to the A-Team
Andy Foster - hope to have you on board this year just make sure you call 01635 874646 as the website redirects you to the local branches which don't have the insurance schemes we have available.
Thanks
