pmsl.. JLR Insurance? Do they really insure? Nope.

[@The_Next_Stage]

This is a beautiful car and I do disagree that it’s overpriced when you look at its direct competition.. I totally agree on the insurance front, absolutely bonkers and I know JLR are doing there own insurance now but there are downsides when you look at the on-line feedback where they are only offering insurance to a relatively select group of people.. Lastly, on the theft front, it is worth noting that only 12 Range Rovers have been stolen out of the last 12,000 sold and 17 from the last 17,000 Range Rover Sports… Som they are getting there…. Oh, and reliability, another area that’s been really improved.. I’ve had to have a new engine in my Discovery so I’m not biased to JLR but just want to support a business that employs so many UK residents…

Nice advert for JLR, did they write ✍️ the script for you? Or was it a condition of their loan of the car 🚗?

Totally. Lost all respect

JLR sponsored video 🤔 they stopped insuring their own cars early 2023 and still can’t help owners that invested thousands of pounds in their products.

[@TonyHammer61]

Not true. They have relaunched their own insurance. However, they still couldn't give me a quote on my L405 2017

[@peterh407]

This sounded more like a paid for JLR insurance plug - and that’s fine but you should be clear if that IS the case, if JLR had addressed security before the car was launched perhaps owners would not be as penalised as they are

[@danieledwards9856]

It’s not the theft, if you try third party only you still get screwed. It doesn’t make sense.

[@Mattceeee]

Many existing LR owners are getting rejected full stop on the LR’s own insurance so they need to up their game quickly or face further problems (if they can get any worse!)

[@richardarthurmartin]

Thats because they don't understand the point of LR insurance - The policy is designed to give cover for people who can't get covered. If you can get cover elsewhere, no matter how expensive, its not the policy for you!

[@davidgirvan6007]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@richardarthurmartinso you only go to LR insurance if you can’t get cover elsewhere 🤔 so not if you can get cover for £33k!!!!

[@richardarthurmartin]

@@davidgirvan6007 Exactly….thats the basis of the agreement with the MGA (It’s only a white labelled insurance product) and effectively nothing to do with JLR!

[@davidgirvan6007]

Yet JLR and this video are framing this as JLR insurance saving the day. Loads of customers are getting rejected. The policies if you get on are only provided on a month on month basis so can be terminated at any time. Hardly the bespoke and revolutionary product this video suggests.

[@davidgirvan6007]

And he says “when you get JLR insuring their own products, you’re insuring with the ultimate specialist”………and yet strangely they wouldn’t give him a quote 🤔 on the car the lent him.

Let's go to the comments. Oh boy. Yup. Everyone thinking the same. This is not some game changer. They're refusing to insure their own cars - and come on - they're not the underwriters in any event......

[@michaeledlin7129]

It's funny my next door neighbour mentioned his recent quote for his Evoque, plus 12 years no claims and they wanted £2k for the insurance. Its getting mad at the minute

[@jonathancollard3710]

Just double blip key fop and it’s proper locked… and keep your fob in a metal bread bin (faraday pouch on the cheap)… simples 😛

[@stevey-xw4gz]

Nice bit of puff for land rover from you. JLR insurance is expensive full stop, more than other providers. I use a specialist broker for two other 'high risk' cars, they couldn't help with my 2015 L405, still double last year's price and same via comparison sites. JLR have really let their customers down. You need to do more research on the topic as JLR have done nothing so far...

[@kieran2744]

Shame JLR are refusing to insure many customers who are trying to get a policy with them!!

[@Cassp0nk]

Yeah it’s underwritten by LV/aviva who have lost millions on JLR products last year. They wouldn’t cover me although admiral gave me a very good price all things considered (1300 for 2019 autobio p525). Insurers are not a charity so unless JLR want to underwrite the loses nothing changes unless the security is fixed. The policy is mostly for new cars as they lost so many sales on new cars as people weren’t willing to pay the premiums. Meanwhile my car hasn’t had a recall notice yet for the security.

[@kieran2744]

@@Cassp0nk yip I think many seem to think that this has sorted the insurance problem for customers and hasn’t!

[@stevequinn70]

Yep, same thing happened with me, what a load of old bollocks. I’m in the north in a rural location too. Joke 🤣

[@johnjemmerson520]

I also have been refused insurance by JLR, I’ve never claimed in my time driving which is over 20 years. So I have 21 years no claims, no points, and only drive the car for social use only. I’m 45 and drive Range Rover sport 18 plate. As things stand I won’t be buying another JLR product unless there’s a dramatic change there product.

Sorry Paul, you're losing your identity in order to get freebies from JLR. Such a one sided promotional video.

Hope you bounce back with some decent content soon.😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@stevey-xw4gz]

Well said

[@cephasmakuzva]

These range rovers are currently tanking in value especially with heavy theft. Insurance prices are getting out of hand. Some insurers are FLAT OUT REFUSING to insure them in London if you park the car on street or on driveway but no gate. They are too easy to steal. A hole can be cut in the back 3 wires joined and with no key car will start and drive. Tracker can be in 1 of about 3 places in a range rover aswell easy to disable and keyless entry signal manipulators easy to find. I know someone whos range rover was stolen at bloody tesco car park using a keyless key device.

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God I will buy one for myself

[@i.c.d.-videos1901]

For the last 3 years I have had very uncompetitive quotes from JLR insurance with the rest of the market being between 1/4 - 1/2 of the JLR quote. Why didn't you look up a similar vehicle on a selling platform and use that vehicles registration plate to obtain a quote to see how competitive or not JLR insurance is?

[@stevey-xw4gz]

Exactly. Not keen to bad mouth JLR I guess?

[@Lar308]

I have not heard of JLR thefts in Ireland but then you could not give them away over here such is their bad public perception for reliability. The only JLR product I would be in the market for is a Defender 90 short wheelbase commercial van type. Hard to get over here (only LWB) and the prices are crazy compared to the Toyota Landcruiser which is the better vehicle for hacking around in. Harry gave his an ambivalent review but I must admit I was impressed how it went up that hill. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXXdmmeei9ClqLc

[@mayurraja8479]

I just insured for 12 months for 932.00 fully comp. Don't believe all the nightmare stories. It all depends where you live.

[@anaymakan6989]

I'm sorry but why cant JLR do something like putting a password or pin on the drivers display before starting up the car. Because if the key is cloned or something and the thieves can get into the interior of the car, then at least they will need a password to be able to drive it which only the owners would know. Hence less cars getting stolen. I think Tesla have something like this and it clearly works because barely any Tesla's get stolen. To me it sounds a little bit like a massive insurance scam. JLR car's are super easy to get stolen through design flaws. They get shipped off to random countries never to be seen again, all while insurance companies pay customers to get a new car again as their old one got stolen. Hence JLR making more money?

[@nickmagiccharlesmf4947]

And since you drive a vehicle that does not provide insurance, be careful where you leave it because it can be stolen if you are in London Thx Kanh

Exactly what I’ve done . Have had RR Sport on order for 14 months with the car due April 24. Insurance ( last time I checked) is 3x what I’m paying for Cayenne ( even though Cayenne was more expensive than RR). Tried LR insurance and wouldn’t even give me one shrug 🤷‍♂️

[@Mark__A]

@@markevans3488 I did exactly the same. But when I tested all Cayenne and Macan, I ended up getting the Macan. Feels like a sport car to drive, and space is enough for me. Cayenne Turbo GT is very nice and makes me thinking all the time. Faster than Urus on track and in drag for half of the price.

So literally just tried Land Rover Insurance for a quote on an approved 2020(69) Range Rover AB 3.0. - Result: Sorry we cannot insure you! Come on JLR. You really are hemorrhaging loyal customers. I was ready to buy. You sent me away!

All very interesting Paul, but you haven't answered the fundamental question here....How much cheaper is JLR's Insurance than that found on a comparison site?
