Insurance. It isn’t something we really like to talk about. It certainly isn’t something we like paying for. But, it’s something we all need to have, and especially when you’re driving cars worth hundreds of thousands or more, it needs to be the right insurance.
That’s where things typically get sticky. You wait an age to get through to a call centre and speak to someone who has no idea what your car even is, they don’t want to know if you’ve got PPF or an exhaust system you can actually hear, and god forbid you ever actually need to claim.
They’re not all like that, though. Some insurance companies are actually human, they actually like the cars they insure, and they don’t find any excuse not to pay when you need to make a claim — amazing!
One such company that we have dealt with ourselves since 2017 is First Point Insurance. It was important to us to work with an insurance partner that understands the requirements of our members, and with First Point Director Andrew Palmer being a Supercar Driver member himself, that is certainly the case.
More than just Director of First Point, Andrew has become well-known and trusted by many members as a nice guy who you’ll see regularly at events and on European tours. Rather than a corporate robot, he is one of us, so he gets what we want when dealing with an insurance company, and he gets what we need should the worst happen — ie, you don’t want to come to the realisation your cover wasn’t sufficient!
Countless members have insured their cars, collections and other assets with First Point, just as we have with the fleet and even our own personal cars because of the level of service and coverage. If that’s not enough, they like to look after their customers and offer VIP access to great events like Secret Meet and Supercar Fest.
So, the next time your renewal is looming and you’re dreading that soul-destroying phone call, give one of the dedicated team at First Point a call. They’re human, they like cars, they know what they’re talking about, and the cars you worked so hard for will be properly protected.
"I have used First Point as my car insurance broker since 2019. I would highly recommend them to other Supercar Driver members and car enthusiasts. The First Point team are very easy to deal with, zero hassle, and most importantly, I feel confident that each year they get me the best deal with the appropriate amount of cover.
No one likes paying insurance, but the service that First Point provides gives me peace of mind, so I can enjoy my cars knowing that if I did need to make a claim, it would be straightforward."

"I’ve been using First Point since 2018. I moved over to them because I wasn’t getting service elsewhere, starting with a couple of cars, and I now insure a fleet of around 15 vehicles. Over the last seven years, I’ve ended up moving all of my household, jewellery and valuables policies to First Point, and this year I’ve moved my business cover over to them as well.
Compared to every other broker I’ve used in the past, the service is second-to-none, and every member of the team always finds a way of meeting or exceeding my requests. Insurance is one of those things where most people just go on a comparison site and go with the best price, but when you’re insuring high-value and specific items, you need adequate cover for all eventualities.
With the level of cover, the best service I’ve ever had, along with competitive premiums, First Point is the whole package for me, and every step of the way, they make it easy for me and ensure I have the best cover possible with minimal hassle."
