Pajero Owners - Insurance

[dizzydonkeys]

Hi guys hope you can help, just been given a Pajero - or at least will have it this eve assuming it passes MOT.

But who do you use for insurance? It's really confusing me as they are classed as imports, have got quote of NFU but would like a couple of other recommendations if possible please.

Oh and no one suggest compare the market, their cheapest quote was nearly £1500 which is a joke, NFU less than a third of that.

Thankies in advance.

When I had my pajero NFU were the cheapest. Went on confused.com or one of those and adrian flux came up good for my terrano so might be worth a try.

I had a Pajero, SWB 2.8 (wonderful machines by the way) and the cheapest quote I got was with Direct Line, you could also try the Pajero's Owner Club, they are very helpful and will also give you some other smaller companies that can quote you, I got a few quotes from them as well as the bigger companies and went back to Direct Line and told them to beat it and they did

When Mitsubishi built this vehicle for the UK market it was called Shogun, elsewhere it was called Pajero which I think means little donkey ?

The insurance companies need to know this because if you had an accident there are differences in the cost of repairing it, to a regular shogun model.

pajillero, actually means w······r, not pajero, paja is straw, it doesn't actually mean much.
Burrito is little donkey, burro, donkey.
I am just about to go see a second hand one to buy, can you tell me if the back seats fold absolutely flat in the 3 door version-?

 

[dizzydonkeys]

lol at M_G!

Thanks guys, Kenzo I rang direct line as that is who my car is with and they said they won't cover it? this is a 2.8 SWB too filled in an enquiry form at Pajero owners club but no response yet, that was a week ago.

I will try again.

Thank you

My Pajero is insured with the RAC. However because its an import they would only insure it if we had an alarm and/or immobilser fitted.

It was £401 to insure this year - and we park it on the street overnight. Not bad I thought

 

[TopTotty]

My Paj is insured with Aviva. It cost £494 this year to insure it fully comp with courtsey car, legal aid and no claims cover.

 

[dizzydonkeys]

Mik, no idea if they fold flat or not, this one doesn't currently have them fitted, although we will be getting them with it.
NFU quoted me £461 fully comp with OH as named driver but just wanted to check if I could get quotes anywhere else.

 

[Marnie]

I third Adrian Flux - I have just taken out a multicar policy via them and as well as being really helpful, they were much cheaper than anywhere else for my LWB Pajero and a Citroen zx.

 

[fuggly]

mines with www.aplan.co.uk ( others wouldn't touch it as import) about £300 a year fully comp

eh how strange, they insured mine (this going back years ago) hmmm if I've still got my old policy correspondence I shall have a look, as I'm rather curious as to why they won't for you

are you young driver by any chance?

Etd, just a link regarding insurance from the POC, maybe interesting reading.

[dizzydonkeys]

Kenzo, yeah I'm super young 29 and OH 30, they cover my Astra estate and 1.8 corsa no problem!

Just had a quote from Adrian Flux website, nearly £700 quid hmm maybe I should ring them as it sounds alot.

Only costs me £300 for both above cars fully comp!

I have 9 years no claims too so very confusing

 

[Kenzo]

hmmm well your older than what I was when I had mine,

hmmmm maybe they have changed it since then, I recall it being around £45.00 a month as I know it was expensive, so I had to pay for it monthly

 

[ever_hopeful]

I think ours is insured with Direct Line and I know I don't pay more than a couple o hundred max per year, TPFT. Depends on your age though and accident history, what quote you can get.

Have you tried the online searches? , etc?

 

[M_G]

No they dont fold totally flat, they fold down then up behind drivers seat so you have a flat area but its not huge.. can only fit in 2 bales of hay side by side

 

[dizzydonkeys]

Have finally shouted at direct line, apparently the reg doesn't exist on most online companies blah blah

SO after threatening to remove all policies from them and saying that they deffo insure others I now have a quote of £370 fully comp for me and OH yay thankies everyone.

 

[dieseldog]

My sister had hers insured with those annoying Pink Woman that sing - can't remember the name though.

 

[JanetGeorge]

Mine's with Churchill - they need proof of immobiliser but apart from that, no pain - it's a 1996 (N Reg) 2.8 3 door - cost £281.40 for this year - with no claim protection and legal assistance (but I do have maximum 'no claims') - and covers OH as well.

 

[Pedantic]

Soooooo in spain when you go to the dealer to look at them, you ask to see the "wankers"

 

[Meandtheboys]

Pajeros are known for being easily stolen so most insurers will expect alarm and immobaliser - i use Natwest £22 a month
