Grove and Dean insurance

[mart]

Just started searching for new insurance and Grove and Dean have come out as the best quote.
Has anyone had any dealing with this company as I haven't heard of them

 

[Go_buddy_go_]

We are newbies and with grove and dean and haven’t yet made a claim so can’t comment on how efficient they are. Sorry can’t be more helpful

 

[Larrynwin]

I am now on my second year with them and no problem but what they are like if you make a claim I couldn’t say.

I thought you’d put ‘Pearl and Dean’…….memories of going to the cinema and all the adverts….!

Not Torville and Dean, be on thin ice with that

My friend's parents are called Pearl and Dean, but he just calls them Ma and Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, paa !

Like the rest they're only brokers, it'll be one of the lloyds underwriters who'll actually be insuring you

They do make you feel your special by calling you a private client though

Try the Thatcham branch of A plan for a quote, ring them direct though as different branches offer different rates

... or one of the Insurance Companies that underwrite risks in their own name, e.g LV or Aviva.

You are quite correct to point out that many companies offering insurance are only brokers for the Underwriters, whether Companies or Lloyd's Syndicates.

Aviva (brokered exclusively by Comfort) are very good when it comes to a claim. I phoned Comforts claim line which went straight through to the Aviva office who dealt with the claim very efficiently

Same for us. Very efficient and nothing too much trouble. Used Comfort for several years now.

Grove & Dean dropped my MH insurance when I acquired 3 points.
NFU been great since.

 

[ManTheVan]

We’ve been with Grove and Dean but luckily not had to make a claim. Consistently good premiums though.

 

[Moto GBR]

Hi, I have been searching for cover for my first MH and these come up quite competitive but insist on using one of their Tracker NANO systems. Anyone had any experience of these?

The tracker NANO is a tiny little thing - the size of a couple of small matchboxes stuck together. They ask you to activate it and conceal it in the van somewhere. I think it only reports location intermittently (maybe every 6 or 12 hours or so). They send you a new one after 2 years apparently as the battery will run out even though it is not always active. You need to send it back if you change insurance too.

It obviously works, since I set up the insurance in advance of getting the van, and got a call a few days later asking me to activate the tracker please, so they could tell I hadn't turned it on. I just explained that the van hadn't arrived yet, and would install it when it did arrive.

The hardest part is probably remembering exactly where you hid it two years later!

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin, Thanks for the reply. Do you need to subscribe to it?

Sorry Mart for the Hijack.

That's who I was thinking of. Thanks for giving the correct name

 

[rwg]

Moto GBR - no subscription - the tracker is provided and paid for by the insurance broker as far as I can work out. I guess the cost is loaded into the insurance quote, but presumably the total is still lower than for insurance with no tracker.

cheers,

Robin

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but it's all that came up on my search!
1. A few of you will have had a few years now with G&D. All still OK? They have given me a very good quote but are a new name to me. They are using Allianz.
2. EU cover. They say "Your policy will automatically provide the minimum cover throughout most EU countries, this is the amount of cover the insurer will provide at full policy cover. " I am taking out comprehensive cover so am I getting comp cover in the EU or Third Party minimum insurance does anyone know?

PS No mention of a tracker having to be fitted that I can see. I have the basic "Outsmart the Thief" system on my Ducato Wildax with no tracker. It didn't figure on the drop down choices for security system and I used the nearest I could see which was "Non Standard Thatcham 1". What does the team think - is that OK?

Minimum cover usually means third party only, no theft, no fire.. (in the UK).

They stopped covering ours.

Said they could no longer offer insurance

I had one supplied by Peter Best Insurance Services when taking a policy out with them last year, the premium included the tracker and subscription. Their premium was also the most competitive even without the tracker. Happily not had to test how well the tracker works.

 

[Bill-H]

Just moved from Grove and Dean to Comfort as G&d's quote was well above Comforts this year. G&D sent me a small self-contained tracker to hide in my motorhome as condition of insurance, their system didn't recognise the one I already have installed for some reason.
Not overly impressed with G&D's website partly because the 'auto renewal' option kept resetting to 'on' every time I logged in after I turned it off - phoned them in the end and when asked why I wasn't renewing with them I gave this as part of the reason.
Didn't have to use their claim service so can't comment on that.
G&D - like many other insurers ,are only brokers.

 

[Madventurer]

I am with G&D, last year I had a windscreen claim. I was on auto renewal and this year the premium went up 50%. I did not even receive an email prior to this happening. So I will not use them again.

 

[ManTheVan]

They continue to be good on price and service for us. I ALWAYS check check around for competitors’ prices each year and G&D have been better.
