May 2012 - Just got a quote and it included 6 track days with the same conditions as above.  As of 2012, Aviva (CCI's underwriter) are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it.

Seemed concerned about whether they would be able to cover a V6 Exige with value in excess of £40k.

Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months.  5-Oct-2017 - called for a quote on Exige V6 S Roadster and told that due to recent changes cannot insure Exiges anymore due to insurance group 92.

As of 2012, Aviva are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it though Matt is on the ball and will almost certainly ask you. (Tyrex) - I spoke to Henderson today (4/1/13) who confirmed that the maximum annual mileage for their policies was 6000. 17.02.14 - maximum mileage is now 4500pa! 7/7/17 - Maximum mileage is now 5,000pa.

October 2017: the good news is that my quote was very very cheap. The bad news is they use a company called ERS which if you Google it has the most AWFUL reviews. So it's fine as long as you never claim!

Offer multi-car policies and unlimited track days.  Honda transplants will exceed their bhp mod limit.
 +
Days with non-ATDO track day companies are not covered, however Lotus on Track have recently joined ATDO. 
 +
Need to be over age of 25 for a policy (confirmed as of 17/12/2015)
 +
Can still potentially provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months. DEC 2017 - quoted lightly modded Elise R. Against REIS and 1answer - £300 cheaper and 'better' terms. Insurer MS Amlin who're also decent!

Ecar, don't do day cover any more and none of the others above would cover an Elise as tried on Feb 2016, gives a message saying:

The vehicle has been identified as 'LOTUS ELISE 111R CONVERTIBLE 1796cc, 2dr Petrol Manual (04-07)' and unfortunately we are unable to offer insurance for this vehicle
 +
 +
CUVVA - search on your android or ios phone, it's an app which covers Lotus as the above companies don't do Lotus anymore when I tried, but CUVVA- worked on March 2018 for me £50 per day.

Companies

Name & Weblink Phone Contact Mod Friendly Track Day Cover Included / Additional Information
1 Answer Insurance 0800 276 1338 Audi/ Honda/ Duratec/ Rover/ Toyota 6 Track days, 1 Answer insurance. Contact the team on 0800 276 1338 for a bespoke quote, which can include track days with reduced track day excess, agreed value, commuting, with standard features such as 60 European cover, reduced windscreen excess and legal cover. They can mirror NCB and you will earn NCB with their policies. The main Lotus insurer deals with limited mileage up to 12k pa, and they will insure all Audi, Duratec, Honda N/A, S/C, C/C set ups, along with Katana Toyota powered cars and modified Rover engined cars. USE at your own risk now Richard has left, no one will be able to help resolve the renewal problems

'Equity Red Star' policies designed primarily for '2nd car' but will quote for commuting after referral to underwriter.

REIS 0115 965 1020 Mary Singleton (mention SELOC for special rates) Yes Agreed Value Cover available. Track Day Cover (Now has Six days included - any venue in the UK or Europe, excluding Nurburgring/Nordschliffe) available - Excess is 10% of insured value. Glass Cover & Club Discounts all available. Discount for Andy Walsh/Car Limits Driver Training Day. Enhanced Windscreen Cover (up to £1000 per claim) as standard. All drivers must be 25+. Policies limited to 7000 miles per annum maximum. No premium load for Commuting although vehicle must be parked in works car park. Not able to provide cover if parked at station car park for commuting. No longer able to cover for business mileage on sports cars (SEP 2022)
Competition Car Insurance (CCI) 0344 892 1966 Option 4 Yes 4 free days with approved organisers & notification prior to day (1 days notice minimum) required. [If you have 2 years+ claim-free experience driving an Elise or similar, quotes are very competitive. 10% discounts available for SELOC Club Supporters. Also additional discount (10%) to be had for car control course / driver training - need certificate to prove attendance though]. Track cover includes some EU circuits (Nurburgring) but doesn't include recovery costs and windscreen damage not covered on track. Won't mirror NCB from another car, but were happy to give me 4 year's worth "introductory bonus". Policies limited to 7000 miles. **17.02.14 - confirmed have to be over 40yo**

May 2012 - Just got a quote and it included 6 track days with the same conditions as above. As of 2012, Aviva (CCI's underwriter) are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it.

Heritage 0121 246 6062 - ask for Martin (drivers over 28yrs.) Discount for SELOC members Yes Track cover only included for club you are a member of eg LoT, cover is available for events with other TDOs at an additional premium. Will mirror NCB from other cars - no need to transfer your NCB to the vehicle insured with them. Check terms with Heritage. Spoke to on 11/1/2012 and refused to quote on Elise, saying they dont really deal with these any more. 25 Sept 2015 - Martin no longer there, struggle to insure newer cars, quoted £2k+ for V6 Exige (v's approx. £500 elsewhere)
Chris Knott 0800 917 2274 Mention SELOC for special rates Yes Drivers over 30 (was 25 in previous years and may revert back in 2012). Need to have been driving your lotus for at least a year. Does not cover track days, but does offer multi-car policies.

Seemed concerned about whether they would be able to cover a V6 Exige with value in excess of £40k. Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months. 5-Oct-2017 - called for a quote on Exige V6 S Roadster and told that due to recent changes cannot insure Exiges anymore due to insurance group 92.

October 2017 wouldn't insure my Duratec Elise

Henderson Taylor insurance 0161 4377442 (Matt) Mention SELOC for special rates Yes Trackdays included, mod friendly policies mostly underwritten by Aviva on very similar terms as CCI (also underwritten by Aviva). As of 22/11/11, mileage limited to 7500 (now 5000?) miles per annum for Lotus policies. As of 08/02/12 Matthew confirmed that unlimited policies are available. As of 2012, Aviva are heavily loading premiums for anyone that requires "commuting" cover, be sure to mention if you dont need it though Matt is on the ball and will almost certainly ask you. (Tyrex) - I spoke to Henderson today (4/1/13) who confirmed that the maximum annual mileage for their policies was 6000. 17.02.14 - maximum mileage is now 4500pa! 7/7/17 - Maximum mileage is now 5,000pa.

Cannot provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months.

October 2017: the good news is that my quote was very very cheap. The bad news is they use a company called ERS which if you Google it has the most AWFUL reviews. So it's fine as long as you never claim!

Manning UK 01491 578759 - Yes (up to %age bhp limit) Sportscar specialists (run club schemes for TVR/Porsche/Aston). Includes trackdays. Discounts for driver training. Happy to quote for Lotus too, very friendly/helpful. Target profile is primarily second car or low mileage (5K) drivers, werent competitive (for me) on a 9K miles policy. Well worth a try if you fit their profile though. Offer multi-car policies and unlimited track days. Honda transplants will exceed their bhp mod limit.

Days with non-ATDO track day companies are not covered, however Lotus on Track have recently joined ATDO. Need to be over age of 25 for a policy (confirmed as of 17/12/2015) Can still potentially provide cover if you've had a fault claim in the last 12 months. DEC 2017 - quoted lightly modded Elise R. Against REIS and 1answer - £300 cheaper and 'better' terms. Insurer MS Amlin who're also decent!

Lotus - Esteem / AON (Official) 08705 708090 or 01483 706055 or 51 AON policies now moved to Footman James (below) ? (Require driver be 30 or over)
A-Plan 01635 874 646 Usually Matthew Minchin. Discount for SELOC members Yes Contact the Thatcham office for Lotus schemes. Can provide free 5 day UK trackday cover on Royal Sun Alliance policies. "ok with brakes and suspension upgrade but not too sure with the engine but ok in the end."[1]

They don't cover remaps at all as of 24/03/2015). No track day cover. Multicar policies are particularly good value if you have two or more cars to insure. You can start a Multicar policy with one car and add others as they come up for renewal.

http://www.dayinsure.com

http://www.tempcover.co.uk (some restrictions on insurance groups of cars they will cover - it will tell you during the quote)

Ecar, don't do day cover any more and none of the others above would cover an Elise as tried on Feb 2016, gives a message saying: The vehicle has been identified as 'LOTUS ELISE 111R CONVERTIBLE 1796cc, 2dr Petrol Manual (04-07)' and unfortunately we are unable to offer insurance for this vehicle

CUVVA - search on your android or ios phone, it's an app which covers Lotus as the above companies don't do Lotus anymore when I tried, but CUVVA- worked on March 2018 for me £50 per day.

CCI insurance is cheaper if the event is a novice trackday, so be sure to mention it.
