Land Rover Specialist Insurance

INSURANCE
THAT KNOWS
EVERY BOLT.

From a Series I pulled from a Cotswold barn to a Defender V8 built for Icelandic crossings — we write policies for the machine as it actually is, not as it left the factory.

Owner Stories

THEY KNOW THEIR
LAND ROVERS.

Green Lane
Every other insurer wanted to exclude my snorkel, the lift, and the winch. Defender Insurance covered all three on day one — and when I drowned the engine in a ford near Builth Wells, they paid out without a single argument about the modifications.

Collector
I have four Rangie Classics in climate storage — two concours, two project cars. The agreed values are exactly what I asked for, the laid-up policy costs almost nothing, and they actually know what a Series III county is without me having to explain it.

Expedition
Built a Defender 130 for a Morocco crossing — 3-inch lift, dual battery, 50L aux tank, roof tent, and a Warn winch. One phone call, everything declared, policy issued same day. European extension covered the whole trip including the Atlas stages.
