The criteria set by CbV Insurance is quite onerous and my current insurers and the normal Volvo Car Insurance scheme won’t insure CbV vehicles. It’s not a problem for me to use the CbV Insurance scheme, but it would be good to know that there could be a choice of insurers.

Thanks in anticipation.
I have had nothing but trouble using CbV.

MY22 C40 cancelled after a wait of 6 months, offered 5% discount on a new order but prices had risen by 16%! Promised a priority order for July on a MY23 so reordered checked after a month to be told car not coming until November so I cancelled and ordered a low mileage 71 plate from Volvo Selekt, paid my deposit ans waited. Then “Sorry but the car you ordered has a major battery fault so we cant sell you that” Having never repaired a complete battery failure they didnt know how to fix it, an omen for all of us there! So here I am in July waiting on a factory order from my local dealer.

Now the CbV insurance is not Volvo insurance per se it is another “Partner’”. I had CbV insurance for an interim vehicle which developed faults so went back. When I ordered from Volvo Selekt I thought I could use my 6 month old insurance policy with that but no “We only insure CbV vehicles nothing else, pity they didnt make that clear from the outset”

Good luck!
