It’s Direct lines loss. My renewal is due in the next 2 weeks and it’s no longer with them. I have taken out a policy from LV that’s £130 cheaper.
It’s a winner for me, polestar and cheaper insurance. It pays to shop around.

I had the same issue with my Insurance. Aviva will not cover me with the Polestar upgrade. Issue for them is the increase in 5 BHP on my XC90 (about 2%).
Any change in the HP means the underwriter says no. As my policy is on a rolling basis I just cancelled it and took one out with LV. Cost a little less than what I was paying Aviva though my excess is now higher.
All in all, happy with the upgrade, I also think the MPG is a tad better. Will be interesting to see how she tows next week-end.
