Insurance?

[lazis002]

I have just accepted a lease on a new IM5 Standard Range with delivery around November.

I've been looking at insurance through the various comparison sites and while the quotes are reasonable (if a little high), there only appears to be a handful of lesser known insurance companies that show up.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a new model to be added to insurers systems?

Also, does anyone know what the insurance group of the standard range is as even the dealer who I test drove at could only tell me that the Performance model was group 50 and nothing else.

To the forum. Congrats on your new motor. Enjoy.

It can take a good few months on comparison sites, but usually if you ring your existing insurer via phone, you'll usually find a similar match from the options between you and the operator. After a few months then the exact model will start to be populated and then you can ring them up again to advise them thats its not an exact match. At least thats what we needed to do on an MG4 3 years ago. For salaracy sacrifice lease deals, then thats already sorted as insurance is included.

Miles Roberts put the insurance codes you need for the IM5 in an IM6 post. You can get the codes from there and contact an insurance broker with them.

Copying them here for ease of reference:

ABI code; 33701391 - Description; IM5 75 Standard range

ABI code; 33701392 - Description; IM5 100 long range

ABI code; 33701393 - Description; IM5 100 Performance

I got a quote from moneysupermarket yesterday for an IM6

 

[lazis002]

Yeah, I got some quotes from there also, but out of the 175 providers it says its checking, theres only 4 that show up

 

[MikeJS]

I had 5 quotes from £470 to £770

I also get 5 quotes. So far it's only LV (£794) and Tesco (£1.8k - £2.3K) that are showing for me.
