Out of interest what are owners experience re the typical annual insurance cost on the Club 45 ? Any recommendations? Thank you.
I don’t think there is a typical annual insurance premium. The algorithms used by insurance companies to calculate premiums are very sophisticated these days and use multiple risk factors; one person’s premium is unlikely to be a good indication of what another person’s premium will be, even for two seemingly identical risks.
IMHO it’s best to get a range of quotes using a number of sources - e.g. a comparison site, some of the direct insurers who aren’t on the comparison sites. Also, consider using a high street broker who can do the legwork for you, and some brokers may have special scheme arrangements with some insurance companies at preferential premium rates.
Bear in mind the cheapest price isn’t necessarily the best; cheapest might mean poor claims service, non-OEM parts used for repairs, non-VW approved repairers used etc.
This is interesting, I was only looking at getting my policy arranged yesterday. I'm with AXA at the moment, they will not insure me on the CS45, but they did on a Mk8 R PP, strange!
I use various comparison sites like Confused.com, GoCompare etc. Best I have a the moment is £300/yr, that's based on £500 voluntary excess, but, as SRGTD says, no one premium will be the same, even changing your job title could effect the price!
I asked my dealer ref GAP insurance, they don't offer anymore (Listers) but advised that I can take out directly with VW. Also noticed that VW offer insurance as well.
