Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
Has this changed recently then? I've had half a dozen or so cat C bikes and never seen the inside of a VOSA station.

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
When you get an online insurance quote, will the cat d be factored in on their price or does the quote assume a non catergory car??

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
No, because no matter what the history of your vehicle, it's still what it is and you are still who you are... at that point. It's only when you want to make a claim that it becomes worthless, if you see what I mean

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
Apparently so, so I was told at work; the ABI classifications and returning of of Cat C vehicles to the road has undergone a small shake up recently.

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
After a good search around on the net, it appears my colleagues at work were wrong and bikes still don't need a VIC if you want to put a Cat C back on the road.

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
So basically you're paying the same money to insure the car as you would any other but it becomes worthless when you need to claim for it?

Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger boy.
I don't work for any insurance company, I just help them dispose of total loss vehicles. |

Re: Buying a CAT D vehicle
I told my insurance and he said that he would note it on the policy but there was no specific place to put it in.
