Having read these posts, I'm going into my garage now to check this out as I thought I had the same problem !!!

The problem Insurance issue's ( or lack of )  seems to be receding. I took delivery 4 weeks ago and managed to stay with my current insurer ( Churchill ) and just replaced my Mercedes with the LBX until renewal time in September without any increase or any admin change charges - result.

The comparison sites seem to have also improved now with some 80+ options on most of them as of this morning.

Pick my LBX up next week. Finally have some insurance at £865 from Admiral (gold). The next best price was £906 from Lexus insure, not as comprehensive as Admiral. None of the rest could quote less than 2k.

I have got quotes from Compare the Market @ £581 and from Confused £763 both Admiral Gold, both sites ONLY offer 11 quotations leaving around 100 companies NOT able to quote ( including my current insurer - Churchill ). Both quotes are in excess of 50% more than I currently pay for my Mercedes C class saloon !!!

Something is definitely wrong with the system  for this vehicle me thinks.

Has any body collected there LBX's yet and got sensible insurance  price since the last posting ??  My vehicle is due end of April from Lexus - Hull and it would help to know if there was anyone in the same boat ?

I have managed to get a quote for my LBX from Lexus insurance online. Good price too!

What price did you get quoted & for which model ??

Hi All,

As a New member both to this club & forum ( and with an LBX on order ) I must say I am more than a little shocked at the figures for insurance that have been quoted for what is a relatively small vehicle engine & emission's wise !!  I am coming from long term mercedes benz ownership and have never been quoted anything like those figures ( even when I had business use included ). What's the general consensus on here re insurance issue ? My car has been ordered from Lexus Hull but this insurance issue is making me now think twice about changing allegiance !!!

Thanks for reading and any replies would be much appreciated .
