|-
|[http://www.reis.co.uk/ REIS (Formerly Richard Egger Insurance)]|| 0115 965 1020 || Steve Hallam or Mary Singleton (mention SELOC for special rates)|| Yes || Agreed Value Cover available. Track Day Cover (Four 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 (upto £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.
|-
|[http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk/ Competition Car Insurance (CCI)] || 0844 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.
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.
|-
|[http://www.heritage-quote.co.uk 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
|-
| [http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk Chris Knott] || 0844 576 0660 || 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. Minimum premium is £400 apparently. Does not cover track days, but does offer multi-car policies.
|-
| [http://www.hendersontaylor.co.uk/ 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.
|-
| [http://www.manninguk.com/automotive/ 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.
