Is your current UX insured with Lexus?

Just to update you on the NFU situation. I've spoken directly with the NUF in Sheffield only to be told that our post code district is not included in their business area. I asked if this was associated with Risk of the area, and I was told no. They said that the business was based initially on farming in rural areas but if I had other insurance/business with them they would quote me for a motor policy. Although we have only lived in the current area 4 1/2 years, I have had no issues with insurance for the house, our previous and current cars and in the recent past my motorcycle.

Thanks, I appreciate that NFU is not online however, I have since completed an online insurance quote request with them only to find that they don't cover our area, for what ever reason. I just can’t win!

I first joined the Lexus Owners Site on Monday the 4 March when I listed the eyewatering quotes that I had obtained Lexus Insurance together with quotes from 2 Comparison sites (both only listing Insure the Box). In view of the comments from Jimmyfromlargs listing yesterday about a more sensible quote from NFU I decided today to revisit the Compare the Market site to see if any other insurance companies had joined the site as yet. I would like to share the findings with you so that you may all have a good laugh. While Insure the Box is still in first place at an eyewatering £2,764.26 I pleased to note that Toyota Insurance Services have also now joined the list in second place - wait for it - Drum Roll - their new quote is a whopping £7,476.27. Is this how Toyota measure the risk factor of the Lexus LBX?

That is better news from NFU, let’s hope that other insurance companies start to include the LBX soon.

Currently waiting arrival of my new LBX. Unable to get any quote from my regular insurer LV= who advised me to try again in March but could not guarantee that LBX would even then be listed. Decided to try Lexus Insurance online only to find, to my surprise, that they didn’t list the LBX either. 4th March rang Lexus Insurance and discussed the issue who confirmed that LBX was now listed. After a few questions to complete my initial online application I was given a quote, with full NCD, of £3617.07. I’ve since tried some online comparison sites and as yet the only company giving a quote appears to be “insure the box” (need to fit a telematic box) quoting £2679.19. I normally pay around £400 and was expecting no significant increase with LBX. This is my first dealing with Lexus - not a very good start!
