Anyone know any reasonably sized insurance companies covering Aircooled Kombis on classic car policy ? Pref fully comprehensive if possible? Who are you all insuring your dubs with and what company gives the best deals?

I use Aon in Somerset West (Mutual and Federal underwriters), good service so far. (but balance of 3rd party only)

Tell him you got his number from me. Tony Zee or Zenger, he knows me as both.

When I moved over to him, I not only moved both my cars, but added a Hilux and a trailer - yet my overall vehicle insurance went down (ok, a few cents) even with the extra vehicles.
And it isnt a monkey outfit, it is M&F and a specialist company who deals with the classic cars.

Hi Tony,
in prep for my Speedster, can you confirm if Chris does replica's as well? I'm going to need cover in the next week or so.

thanks

Phone him and find out.
He is one of the few people in CPT who will insure a classic at a decent price.
I was with AON for years at around R700 a month, then got down to R400, then got another company at R100, but they overcharged me by R300 for my other car, so it made no difference.
Now I have gone over to Chris's setup, added a hilux and a trailer and am still paying less.
And its not a lfy by night story, he uses Mutual and Federal.

Is it comprehensive cover or balance of 3rd party ? Reasonable rates ?
