I talked and mailed them yesterday to see what they would come up with. The reply came within a few hours. Unfortunatly it's a bit too expensive in our opinion... At least for the whole vehicle. I presume that you can get them to insure a smaller sum (perhaps half or something) thus getting at least something back if things go bad...
heres what he wrote:
"Dear Mr. Delphin,
Thank you for your submitted details on our website in respect of cover for
your Landrover Defender 110 TD5 across Africa.
Based on a limited insured of GBP 34,000, the annual premium payable will be
GBP 3,155. There will be an excess (deductible) on the policy of GBP 1,000.
In respect of a total loss, theft or attempted theft of the vehicle and/or
fitted accessories, Underwriters shall not be liable for the first 1,500 of
each claim.
Driving will be restricted to you and Mrs. A Delphin only and I have
incorporated a discount accordingly. If any other drivers are required,
please submit their details for consideration.
Please note that use of the vehicle in the country of nationality/permanent
domicile of the assured is excluded, unless advised and agreed in advance.
Windscreen/glass cover will be included up to a limit of GBP 300 each and
every claim and this will not be subject to the policy excess.
The geographical area of cover will be Mainland Africa, and, as you are
aware, this quotation is for accidental damage fire and theft risks and does
not include Third Party Liability Insurance. This insurance must be arranged
locally to comply with local laws and regulations.
Cover can commence immediately upon receipt of your instructions and payment
of the premium can be made by sterling cheque, credit/debit card or bank
transfer.
If you are able to obtain an alternative quotation at a more favourable
premium with similar terms, please let me know and I will ask the
underwriter to match the difference.
I hope that you will find our quotation to be acceptable and if I can be of
any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
