Shannons or Lumleys

[spookypt]

Everyone has different circumstances I guess so its not a one size fits all scenario. I found, despite what Famous offers, that Shannons were a far better fit for me. They insure all 4 cars, plus house and contents plus my trailer through their subsidiary. My race car is also insured while on the track for any CAMS sanctioned event for a nominal premium and significant cover. Something Famous's policy couldn't get near. Ive had a few small claims over the years and all no problems.

Just a matter of doing your research and see what fits your specific scenario best I say.

It seems that Shannons are more amicable when you have multiple covers..my cousin has the same covers and he is very happy....on the other hand with one car ..I have had a lot of run around and dispute. still looking at all of them. Thanks everyone for the feed back. It helps a lot.

Thanks for bringing up this thread mate, as I had no idea there was a better option out there for these types of cars, but there definitely is...

Do I get a commission?

Not so now Gregg. I switched to Lumleys this year for my 1 yr old Pace Cobra due to the salvage rights, and otherwise premiums being the same or better compared to Shannons, Rhino, and a few others.

I triple checked, have it in writing and voice recorded confirmation that I keep my wreck for free in the event of a write off.

(Not that I want to be in that situation, of course. A written off Cobra probably doesn't mpbode welll for my body!)
