Hi guys.
I'm a new member to the forum. I've been looking at Atoms for a few years, and I'm finally getting one at the end of this week. I'm asking a few questions about insurance for first time Atom owners. I know this has been covered in the forums before as I searched though, however some insurance providers have changed their policies. Thankfully I have a modified car which is insurance by Adrian Flux, so they were able to cover me, however, 1) Its pretty expensive and 2) It doesn't include track days.
I called Reis insurance and they are not willing to insure me until I've owned the car for one year. This seems a little odd as they never asked any details bar when I was going to own the car. No questions about age, no claims bonus, accidents etc. Only what cars I've driven previously. When I called a few years regarding insurance, they were willing to provide a quotation, however they have since changed their policy. This is quite frustrating as I know Reis can include track day insurance, hence why I wanted to go with them.
I've tried NFU Mutual and they don't want to give a quotation either. They said to try their Classic cars department, but I've not managed to get through yet.
I'm going to try HIC tomorrow when the phone lines open up.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to try? If its relevant I'm 31 with 9 years no claims, no at fault claims and no points in the last five years. Atom will be kept in a secure garage on the property etc.
Thanks. Hopefully get to know some of you soon.
Chris
