I have just fulfilled my dream and bought a 348GTS. Jetzt geht's aber los! Irgendwie habe ich mich dadurch Lepra bekommen oder sowas, da nach 30 Jahren Führerschein und SF28 in der Kasko, niemals ein Punkt in Flensburg, 48 Jahre alt usw. will mich keine Versicherung mehr kennen! Württembergische hat mir jetzt zwar eine Doppelkarte geschickt, jedoch am Telefon war es SEHR offensichtlich, daß die nicht soooo wollten. Im Prospekt von ihnen steht, daß sie ALLE Ferrari versichern, am Telefon musste heftig diskutiert werden, da ein 348 GTS nicht in ihrer Liste steht! Im Prospekt steht, daß ganz Europa überhaupt kein Problem sei, am Telefon "nur sehr gelegentlich" und dann nur ganz kurz z.B. eine Woche Urlaub usw., und dann wollten sie wissen, ob das Fahrzeug auch dann in einer Garage stehen würde! Ich habe sonst eigentlich nur gutes von der Württ. gehört und dies hat mich überrascht. Zwei Versicherungen wollten nur 'sehr gute Bestandskunden' nehmen. Leider war ich guter Bestandskunde seit 22 Jahren bei der HUK und die nehmen keine Ferraris! Bei anderen: Zweit-, möglichst Drittwagen bei denen versichert soll es sein. Da mein Erstwagen ein Firmenwagen ist, fiel ich da auch durch's Netz! Hat jemand da draussen einen Tipp? Ich möchte keine dubiöse Versicherungsdeckung haben und dies dann im Notfall entdecken! Oder bin ich einfach zu skeptisch bei der Württ? Leider bin ich weder Großunternehmer mit Flottenversicherung noch Autohändler mit roten Nummernschilder usw., und möchte ein Auto versichern, was weniger als die meisten Mercedes kostet und eine Statistik wahrscheinlich weit unter Golf III GTi hat!

good comments - I will comply! English no problem as I'm english myself - I mistakingly thought that German would be appreciated as the question is a purely national one!
Hello Drew, thanks for getting back in touch with us and for the filled out profile...makes it easier for everybody. I have been asking you, cause I saw/read you are a brit gent living in France and you need a german insurance, sorry I was a little bit confused about the configuration. Anyway, and please dont get me wrong about the english/german typing. Yes, we do have the german language section. back to topic: The Württembergische is usual no problem!!!!! Most of us are working very successfull together with them - incl. me. I believe thee is another problem......yes, they do have some rules. Do you want me to call or PM for more infos? You are welcome. Wolfgang
I have just fulfilled my dream and bought a 348GTS. Now the problems start! Somehow I seem to have caught leprosy or something because after having had a drivers' license for 30 years, 28 years no claims bonus, no convictions and being 48 years old, no insurer wants to know me anymore! Württembergische has sent me the application to be filled out but on the telephone it seemed very apparent that they weren't really too interested in my custom. Their brochure says that they insure ALL Ferraris, but they greatly hesitated when they discovered the 348GTS wasn't in their list. The brochure says Europe-wide no problem. On the telephone this migrated to "only exceptionally" and then only very briefly and they asked if the car would be in a locked garage when I have it abroad! I'd only heard good things about the Württ up to now - am I being over sceptical? Perhaps the people are just a bit stressed near to Christmas. Other insurers wanted to take only long standing good customers. Unfortunately, I was a 22 year long standing good customer of the HUK, and they don't insure Ferraris! Others would only insure if the car was the second or third car insured by them. My first car is a company car, so that shot a hole in that one. Does anyone out there have a tip? I don't want to think I've got good cover only to discover I infringed some small print if it comes to making a claim! Or can anyone confirm that the Württ is good? Unfortunately I'm not a Company boss with a fleet insurance nor a Car Trader with red trade plates. I just want a decent insurance for a car which has a value less than most Mercedes and a claims statistic probably less than a Golf GTi! Drew PS: I apologise now for using leprosy as a punchy catch phrase. It is not my style to misuse ailments to get attention, but I'm afraid the treatment I'm getting at the moment is much akin to a middle-age prejudice.
Drew, LOL...middle-age prejudice Come on, we still feel young & fresh, thats why we drive Ferrari About the Württembergische and your insurance. Please get in touch with me over mail and its my pleasure to serve you with some direct phone numbers from serious employers of the insurance company. There are employers just & only responsible for us the F.- drivers. Wolfgang
Wolfgang, in actual fact I meant middle-age like Spanish inquisition and witch burning! PMSL!!! I'm waayyy past middle-age, but not grown up yet! Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Drew
Hi Drew, Welcome on Fchat! We hope that you will enjoy your stay at our Euro section. Wolfgang is absolutely THE man that you need to talk to about your problem. Ton
All my cars have their insurance with AXA at present. F-car was no problem. However, I didn´t ask for "Vollkasko"-insurance or even "Teilkasko"-insurance.
That sort of ties up, AR! I think in Germany that EVERY insurer is obliged by law to offer to anyone the legal third party insurance. But if your F-car leaves you for someone else? I'm surprised at anyone with a Ferrari and no insurance against theft!
It´s just a 93 Mondial. This car is not marketable in Eastern Europe. My personal philosophy is to just cover those risks by an insurance which I couldn´t afford.
