“Hot Rod Insurance”

★★★★★

written by 1932HotRod on 26/03/2014

I can highly recommend Brentacre Insurance for specialist vehicles, we have been dealing with Darren Coote for our Hot Rod insurance for at least 10 years & followed him to Brentacre so we could deal with him for our insurance. He actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to Vintage Hot Rods & realizes what goes into building a period Hot Rod. We know he would be fighting our corner if we had an accident in one of them. we also have our dailys insured with Brentacre & when I had an accident in mine Darren sorted everything, even getting me a brand new courtesy car with a tow bar so we could still use the caravan, the repairs to my car were faultless & the whole claim stress free.

“Your Best Friend”

★★★★★

written by Camronv402 on 18/03/2014

It is always good when you ring Brentacre and get to the person who knows what the situation is and you are not given the RUN A ROUND through other staff members, you can get straight to the point. He has looked after our Hot Rod and American car insurance both now and in the past.

“Like part of the family”

★★★★★

written by O'Reilly263 on 14/03/2014

Since I was a kid I have been fascinated with cars, modified & standard mainly VW's. As soon as I was old enough to drive I was hooked into the VW scene. I was insured with another well known company until I decided to modify my car. They wanted to double my policy. I searched around & everyone was raving about these guys & there was advert in my bible: PVW magazine. I can really say I was stunned, half my original policy, everything declared & any cosmetic mods free. These guys were a godsend & been with them many years now. The knowledge & passion for cars these guys have is second to none & long may it continue. 6 stars out of 5

“If you passionate about your car - Brentacre will be also!”

★★★★★

written by Dandod1 on 14/03/2014

When it comes to insuring a car which means more to you than simply a driving necessity then Brentacre are the obvious choice. The staff see your enthusiasm for your speciality car in the same light that you do and their similar appreciation of such vehicles makes the process simple and easy to achieve. Brentacre are a 'can do' company and will endeavour to get the best policy for you and not dismiss your request simply beacuse it is not a 'run of the mill' vehicle. From my experience I have found them to be knowledgable, competitive and friendly and when I have wanted to update my policy there has never been any hassle.

“Won't Find Better”

★★★★★

written by Calum34 on 14/03/2014

What could be better than having car enthusiasts insuring your pride and joy? In all my years of classic car and hot rod ownership, I've never found anyone as helpful or understanding as the advisor at Brentacre. This is an individual and company that doesn't try and make the car fit the policy, but will find a policy to suit the car. Due to the individual nature of hot rods, this is priceless. Talking to someone that has an interest and understanding of cars makes the process so much easier. If the worst were to happen, I know that the least stressful part would be dealing with the Insurance company. Can't recommend Brentacre highly enough.

★★★★★

written by Kelleherrj402 on 13/03/2014

The service is Great and the staff friendly. Best quotes for classic and hot rod vehicles, nothing to much trouble, Easy to chat to and helpful with all form filling. I liked the personal touch. The knowledge shown for the type of cars I drive and own was exceptional There is nothing in particular that I dislike about the service from Brentacre

“Easy and great value”

★★★★★

written by Jeff_1969 on 13/03/2014

Was recommended to contact the advisor at Brentacre and found him to be really helpful with quick service! He guided me through the various questions and was able to give me a quote within minutes. And he beat the other insurance providers to offer me a great value policy. He is a really easy to deal with guy who knows what he is talking about. I was very pleased with both the service and the deal and plan to renew with them when my next policy is due.

“Surrey Street Rodders Wheels Day Insurance Giveaways”

★★★★★

written by whiff on 12/03/2014

When the Surrey Street Rodders decided to give something back to the exhibitors at the 40th Wheels Day and the idea of 40 prizes of 1 years insurance to 40 lucky people was bounced on Brentacre. It was meet with incredible enthusiasm from their team. Their input was "fast and furious" and quickly tailored to suit our requirements. OK so they are getting a good chuck of business from it but then they are helping us out at Wheels Day with staff to help with the running of the show and the "Giveaways". Then of course our club members also found out how competitive their "Specialist Car" (Hot rod)insurance rates are and a few of us have jumped ship. Come and see them (and us)hard at work at the 40th Wheels Day 18th April 2014 at Dunsfold, Surrey GU6 8TB and who knows you might even win a years worth of insurance!

“Knowledge is King!! Arise King Darren!!”

★★★★★

written by peranaman on 12/03/2014

I know my classic cars, Capri's to be exact. I know my paintwork and detailing. I also know when someone is blagging their way through insurance. With Brentacre, particularly Darren Coote you get a person is is not only polite and helpful but someone who the classic, rodding and custom scene recognize as a 'proper bloke' who know his stuff. Couple that with tailor-made policies and super low quotes and you just can't go wrong. All our vehicles are with Brentacre (except the Mercedes A Class - too much of a shopping car for Brentacre!). Insurance, as a necessary evil, is best left to the experts. Just call Darren or the other guys and cut to the chase.

“The best knowledge in custom & hot rod insurance”

★★★★★

written by Adamsayers on 12/03/2014

The one overriding reason I transferred my business to Brent care insurance (4 cars 1 bike) was the unrivalled experience in this field of the staff. Price & apathy should not be reasons to continue with brokers who's staff do not understand the vehicles in question. At Brent care you will find people with real world experience in the modified, custom & Hot rod market. They knows exactly what your insuring & understand the many differences between them. For custom & hot rod insurance I wouldn't trust my rides with anyone else.

“It's all about relationships...................”

★★★★★

written by TPT4 on 12/03/2014

We have had up to 7 vehicles insured through Brentacre, some classics, some everyday day cars, some performance cars. Their professionalism and commitment is exemplary.The team are just what you need at the end of the phone - real people who know exactly what they're talking about. As such they are able to provide reliable advice in an understanding manner. Forget call centres and price comparison sites - go for the real deal. I have no hesitation in recommending their services - in fact I've already done that on numerous occasions!

“As Insurance Brokers Should Be”

★★★★★

written by rufalike on 12/03/2014

The team are simply all you need and expect from a broker. Many outfits say they are good; they are. For a classic car collector the single policy which also covers moderns is simple, comprehensive and flexible and run by a team who have real knowlege. I would and do recommend them.

“Living the dream thanks to Brentacre”

★★★★★

written by sparky1964 on 11/03/2014

After buying myself a nice T4 VW van for leisure use I phoned several insurance companies to obtain quotes, many were just not interested while others just heaved up the quote to an unrealistic unaffordable price, my vehicle is only slightly modified and i was beginning to regret my latest project almost to the point of selling it on, I was asked to try Brentacre and I was amazed at the professionalism and the knowledge of the staff employed there, I felt as though I'd known the advisor for years after the conversation, I felt at ease immediately knowing that my asset was now insured legally and above board for a very reasonable amount, the advisor carefully detailed everything about the policy including all relevant charges and there were no hidden charges or catches, all paperwork was delivered next day and well detailed, I would highly recommend this small friendly professional team to anyone considering owning modified vehicles, Brentacre all the way :)

“halved my previous quotes from other insurers”

★★★★★

written by Curran422 on 11/03/2014

I'm not with Brentacre at the moment, but I called up for a quote on a 1.4 16v conversion I'm planning. Having previously been quoted £1500 but Adrian Flux, the lovely guy on the end of the phone got me a quote for £750!! Lovely customer service, was extremely friendly and understood that I was a car enthuasiast, not a boy racer.

“Cannot fault at all”

★★★★★

written by on 11/03/2014

Brentacre saved me about £900 on my renewal so as soon as I joined I was pretty happy! Every time I've needed to call them the staff have been polite and could not have done enough to help me. I love that they'll insure my car no questions asked and can't wait to hear about my mods unlike other companies I've used in the past. I pay a great price for excellent service and great cover, can't really ask for more than that!

“Beat my renewal quote by miles”

★★★★★

written by RolandoLewis436 on 11/03/2014

After a bad experience with Insurance Factory trying to charge me £65 to swap my V6 sports car for a Scenic with no claims or convictions, then £75 to NOT change the car as they wouldn't keep me insured on the V6 as it was scrapped. Brentacre gave me a new price which beat any renewal before even knowing prices. For £50 less, I am on their comprehensive policy with key and legal cover compared to other websites quoting more for Third party fire and theft. So far, very happy.
