Aon

[Steve Burnett]

The amount of bull insurance companies talk will never surprise me. The car is insured as an import with them.
My previous insurance company said they never insured imports then next thing I know a couple of people on here (I think) have theit car insured with them.
Im sure they make the decision month by month.

I think I may make a complaint, been with elephant since they started, may have to use the "will have to take my business elsewhere" line.

two funny things there to be honest. I\'m with elephant, so yes they do insure imports and (b

Have you tried //www.elephant.co.uk ? Thats who I am with, only require a CAT2 (immobiliser) and the car is parked in the drive. im only 23 with 5y ncb. £1100 fully comp on a 94 Type-r, standard.

I spent nearly 600 getting a top spec alarm on mine and elephant said "doesn\'t make any difference with alarms really

hehe they just make it up as they go along

Tried AON today and was told you cant get limited mileage if your under 30. At 28 I thoughtI was past being a boy racer.......

I\'ve been ringing around insurance companies and it is amazing how different the same insurer can be depending on who answers the phone!

I\'m hoping to rent a garage from a neighbour too - perhaps I\'ll be able to insure with Aon then.

To make it more interesting I\'m going to try and insure two cars - a veryheavily modified MR2 Turbo along with the Rex.  The \'2 TPF&T and I\'ll strip it down for a track day car.  The Rex will be Fully Comp with the no claims bonus (seems it can\'t be shared between cars).

They\'re arguing that a RaceLogic Traction Control unit is a performance enhancement....!!!!   Ho hum.

I\'ll post up who wins, but that\'ll be the end of Nov when the car lands.

Cheers,
Si.

Adrian Flux did for me in the end but sucked for everyone else I told to phone them, think it does depend on when ya phone, who ya speak to and how many rx7\'s / high performance cars they\'ve already said yes to for the year

best of luck mate!

Hi Jay,

l have spoken with Adam at AON this morning ( the clubs designated man ) and he has told me that providing the criteria are met i.e. the car is garaged and it\'s a second car over 25\'s  will be insured O/K on limited mileage policy\'s.

Obviously if you are a club member with an MRC club Number this will help as well.

Hope this helps

All the best Clive

I can\'t help but feel somewhat dissapointed at the insurance situation.  Perhaps the Club Policy that Dorset provide for the MR2 Drivers Club really is lightyears ahead of anything else.

Is there a formal Club Insurance Deal with anyone?  I tried Aon and I\'m appauled by their decision to insure cars that are garaged only.

I\'ll keep looking and find someone.  It won\'t be Aon - and after my recent telephone call with them - it will never be Aon - garage or no garage.

Cheers,
Si.

hey sorry im being bit slow but what does AON stand for and do they have web site?
im really interested in seeing what i will get for quote and i am paying £800 something.

Don\'t know about MR2 stuff but this is a very special scheme we have set up for Rotary\'s
( your comment sounds a bit like my Dads bigger than your Dad stuff ! )

AON is a full blown insurance Co and you will find that almost all \'classic\' car policies will be insured via AON,
our scheme is direct and with no paybacks to the club as most clubs get a return for sending members to them .
We declined this and wanted every penny to go towards our members policies.

We have set this up so old Rotary\'s  right through to RX-8\'s  and heavily modified Rotary\'s with the only real exception being Nitrous ! can be insured this being dependant on the owner being eligible of coarse and armed with a membership number  to qualify for the Mazdarotaryclub scheme.

Whilst not for everyone this will give you an instance , l rang last week on behalf of a 29 year old member for a 93 Type R who could \'only\'  get a best of £1050 but with AON  under our scheme it was £540! ,and that should more than reimburse his £15 club membership fee !!!

BTW,
In Gaelic, Aon means "oneness".

We also have other schemes set up with Chris Knott Insurance 01580 752961
and Norton Insurance 0121 2466060

Hope this helps

Aon simply will  not insure my car.  The first question they asked me was "is it kept in a garage?" to which the answer is no.  After that they couldn\'t get me off the phone quickly enough.  When I explained I was a member of this club (expecting it to make a difference) they just talked over me.

I\'ve moved from one Drivers/Car Owners\' club to another.  So far it\'s been my experience that an insurance scheme organised/supported by a Club is available to everyone in the Club - and the Aon scheme isn\'t.

I certainly wasn\'t aware that Aon wouldn\'t insure my car before I joined, I wasn\'t made aware when I sent my membership request off and I was only made aware by Aon saying we won\'t insure you.

It\'s good to see that for some people the  Â£15 is a wise investment and I\'m happy for them.  Am I the only person who\'s joined the Club and doesn\'t have a garage in which to keep their car?

Doh!  Apologies...

[Mental note:   read all the mail before replying]

...I\'ll try the other numbers you\'ve listed and see what happens....

Sorry,
Si.

Tiz a bit harsh although to be fair there are a fair few threads knocking about with what you need to qualify for the AON deal & i\'m not surprised there are certaint criteria u have to meet to qualify but the fact they dont, like many, want/need a tracker & even better it wont use my no claims bonus which is a bonus as well. I\'m just hoping the Jasma zaust on mine will be quiet enough to quell any anger from the neighbours i rent garage off else it could get tricky

Hi Simon,

Spoken to AON and they will insure unlimited mileage on cars O/K but they will insist on the car being parked off road and not just being parked on the road side , due to the amount of money they have paid out in claims on this type of car in the past i.e. jap performance cars being damaged parked in the road.

To insure any one attached to a club is quite unlikely because as lt was pointed out to me when negotiating the scheme , worst case scenario would be a three time convicted drunk driver could join the club \'just\' to obtain insurance and they would be duty bound to insure him because he is a club member !.

Please mail me privately with all your details and l will talk to them for you providing your not leaving it just parked on the roadside.

Hope this helps  

All the best Clive

Success!!!!  :rollin I\'ve managed to insure through my current underwriters and get the same cover as I had for the \'2 (except that since it\'s no longer a club policy the track day cover has been removed - but never mind).

That runs until the end of April and then I should have somewhere off road to keep the Rex so I can try Aon again...perhaps....

I\'ve another question about insurance though....

The car lands in Southampton on the 30th October, it should be with the company who are prepping/SVA\'ing it in early November and I should collect it the first week of December.

I\'ve been on the phone to them and they said in order for them to get an MoT I will have to send them my insurance certificate for it along with the Registration Certificate I have for it\'s Reg Plate.

That means I have to run the insurance from the 1st Nov, but I won\'t have the car - someone else will be driving it, and if anything happens - who claims against what?  I\'ve paid for the car (but not any of the duty) so I suppose technically it is mine already.

The prepping company are reptable so I\'d imagine they\'d have a dealers or traders motor insurance policy - isn\'t that enough to present in order to get an MoT or  does it have to be a private Insurance Policy...?

Just wondering, there\'s no problem here.  It\'s insured from when it arrives in the UK anyway, but I am interested to know what if...

Cheers,
Si.
