Hi all,

Just checking on my Egg bank account online and noticed that they have a new car insurance facility. They promise to beat any other quotes. My turbo currently costs £1400 with £500 excess. Egg are offering £1100 with £125 excess. That's a great deal! esp since I made a claim recently.

Thanks, this is now in my favourites so that I can remember whom to check out when it comes to renewal time.

Hi Rob,
Do they cover track day as well in your policy?

Rob O'Meara

Mick, I haven't renewed with Egg (yet) but after having reviewed the documentation see that they don't cover this sort of activity. I'd be interested to compare quotes with a company that does. My assumption was that it was more cost-effective to either insure for specific track days or have the phone number for a friend with a recovery truck

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it when I renew my insurance.

Cheers,

David

Hi Rob,
sorry to be a pain..

I was considering to take the car to a track day this year but my ins. company would noy cover. I remembered reading somewhere that track ins was quite expensive esp if you want to do it more than once a year. That kind of put me off a bit and I had not looked into finding out how much it actually is.

My policy is due for renewal in a couple of mth and I think I'll try to get one that covers track days and/or hill climb school.

Anyone knows how much track day ins are normally? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Track day insurance costs about £120 a day for £12k cover with an excess of £2k. It's not cheap.

Thanks Steve
Let's say if I wanted to cover £24k, and do two track days a year, then that's £480.... more if I want to do more track days...I think I'll get aan insurance that covers track days, I'm sure the won't cost £500 more than a normal ins....

I never realised that trackday insurance was so much! <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />

£200 to go on a Porsche Driving day (their cars) doesnt sound too bad in light of this ...

Rocket

Aon include unlimited trackday cover within their policies including European tracks, but the excess goes from £250 to 10% of the cars value whilst on track.

Contact their Woking office under the classic car scheme <a href="http://www.aon.com/uk/en/indiv/classic.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.aon.com/uk/en/indiv/classic.jsp</a>

...as I said, make friends with someone who owns a flat-bed truck; when you prang the car they can pick you and the car up and deposit both of you on a public road

Norwich Union will also cover track days, but as in Rocket's post above the excess is 10% of insured value for the day, and they say they will only allow it 2 or 3 days in a year.
