If you are attending the convoy for heroes event and actually taking part in the convoy please check with your insurance company that you are covered. I telephoned my insurance company (LAND ROVER INSURANCE) only to be told that I was not covered by their insurance if I took part in the convoy.

Why would you phone and ask this???? Just don't crash or even better don't tell them!

landy19840, Im honest. I can't stop someone from crashing into the back of me if they are not looking were they are going.

Maybe some temp cover company might be able to help,

Personally I wouldn't have told them...does that mean that if you convoy with a mate from the pub or a mates house half way home you're not covered? Or even 2 or 3 cars going on holiday together? Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Always best to find out first, lets be honest, the insurance companies use anything they can to not pay out. The last thing you want is your car written off and no insurance. I had the same thing when getting quotes for insurance, I didn't realise that you had to declare a replacement windscreen as a claim but if you dont then you have lied on your application and once again they will fight to not pay out on false information within the application.

Land Rover Insurance said I needed track insurance and they no longer do it. I explained that it was a convoy twice around the Land Rover Test Track at Gaydon tying to beat the previous number of Land Rovers in a convoy. I explained we wouldn't be racing and probably only reach around 30 MPH. I also told them it was towards Help The Heroes.
I personally think it will be more dangerous traveling along the motorway system to get there.

Hang on if you're talking about in convoy on LR's track then no it won't be covered! In the same was that if you go off roading it won't be covered either unless you add it to the policy.

My brother's going to the Isle of Man to the TT, and found out his insurance doesn't cover him to ride on Mad Sunday over the mountain, because it's not a road at this point Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

LR cover offroading automatically, it must be something to do with the convoy side of things Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
