Okay, here's another question!

When phoning/getting on-line quotes for insurance, what do people quote the Bongo as being? I've tried various on-line companies like Tesco but the Bongo isn't listed. I've also telephoned and they get stuck and say they can't quote on it!

Help!

This all depends whether you purchase it as an 8 seater, or get it converted. For 8 seaters, Tesco will do it if you tell them you have a "motor caravanette". And if thery are still confused, tell them it is similar to a Mazda MPV. But if you go for a conversion, it is best to go to Safeguard or Campton.

We have recently purchased a Bongo Friendee 1997 with fitted kitchenette in the rear and the best quote I got was from the caravan club 0800 652 3696. I guess it depends on where you live, age, no claims bonus, convictions etc, but I managed to get a stack of decent quotes by looking on the interent.

Hi

We just bought our Bongo 2 weeks ago... An unconverted version with a pop up roof. (more expensive to insure with Comptons because it was not converted as a camper)

We got insurance with Direct Line. They couldn't find it initially but finally found the Bongo as an E Bongo .

Tesco also have it as an E Bongo, rather than a Bongo.

Neither company were able to do an online quote, but both helpful over the phone.:)

Try Campton insurance brokers 01883 742460, they now all about our Mazdas, I got a good deal.

Just got insured by one of the companies advertised in the owners club. Mine is with Suretravel and (depends of no-claims and where you live) came to be £320 includes AA memnership, european coverage & £2K of camping equipment. Tescos was £65 more expensive and had to pay extra for europe, no caming cover neither.

Shop around but i am quite pleased with Suretravel.

Go-bon-go!

The best deal on Mazda Bongo Friendee insurance that I have found was with a specialist broker, 2GetherFS - 01945 585322
