Ok - so just an update on this to close my particular case off. I went back to Admiral and requested they show me where in my policy documents it states they will not insure a car on SORN. It turns out they can't and have agreed to insure the Boxster while it is SORN. An acceptable result in the end but so, so painful to get there. I won't be making the mistake of going with Admiral again!

It's definitely the norm for Admiral it would seem. Not so for many other insurers I have used in the past. I am going to have another go with Admiral and see if a different person can be a little more helpful. I mean, surely keeping a car tucked away in a garage and not being driven on the roads lowers their risk considerably? Not sure it makes any difference to them but will try and put my point across. Sadly, I think it will be a case of 'computer says no'!

It seems that is the case with Admiral. All I will say is LV amongst other insurers I have had over the years have had no problems with SORNing the car.

Wondering if anyone else has come across this? I have a multicar policy with Admiral and spoke with them today to inform them I would SORN my Boxster at the end of the month. I was a little surprised at the reply - they said I couldn't do that and would have to cancel my insurance if I am to SORN it. They will not insure a SORN car. To make matters a little more painful, taking 1 car off the multicar policy makes the overall insurance cost higher, plus they want a cancellation fee. I have never had this response in the past with other insurers and I was wondering if I was talking to someone who just didn't have a clue or if others had experienced the same with Admiral. Let me know if anyone else has found a way around this with Admiral.
