Reduced annual mileage from 6K to 4K (still more than I did last year)
Premium compared to last year is down ~30%

Ok I think ?

Mine's with cci. They wanted a tracker for anything valued over £40K:-( my car has one but when I tried to reactivate I was told by Tracker that the battery was probably flat and their trackers only lasted for 10 years.

Cheers.

Ha ha the Classic Cars tracker fiasco. I had to get one for my Porsche as it was over £40,000. I paid for the lifetime cover after the first year. Whilst it was fitted to the car it kept on sending false alarms ie they would ring me every time I went out to ask if I had moved it. In the end fed up of getting the calls I asked them to fix it.

They then charged +£100 to come over and look at it. The bloke suspected the unit's battery was kaput but was too fat to reach it with the cage and bucket seats

. I had to therefore squeeze in myself and dismantle the covers for him to be able to reach the unit with numerous socket extensions. Still got charged though.

I have never had any other calls since even though it has been into the garage for work in Germany and Blighty so not sure they will find it if it gets stolen.

Is the requirement for a tracker in the small print? They never asked for one when I took out the policy with them. Best I go and read the small print.

I'm not sure, but I know it's a stipulation. They only told me about it when I had my Spyder last year. Which means; A. All my previous cars ensured through them were uninsured. Or B. It's a recent thing.
I've booked in for a cobra tracker for £230 fitted and £130 subscription PA.

It feels like another tax.

Cheers.

Had a quick look at the paper work and the only stipulation I can find is regarding the immobiliser. Will have to give them a ring.

Please let me know what they say. I'd rather not get one if I don't have to.

Cheers.

They just confirmed it depends on where you live.

Crazy! I live in one of the lowest risk postcodes and they demand I have a tracker

Will have to give them a call.
