Car insurance



  • when i was a young lad i always found them really expensive, haven't tried them since lol



  • Just got a quote for my scooby from adrian flux, £500 fully comp, pretty pleased with that, seeing as she is group 20 and declared PPP mods @ 265bhp :D



  • Well I binned off adrian flux and got a better quote with SKY Insurance :D :D

    I got them to match what adrian flux offered with the mods with the legal cover added for free and got it £5.00 cheaper plus they didnt give me a hard sell like adrian flux did and slightly pi**ed me off with too.

    I got the price beaten by being a member of HJC so I will look into get the club recognised with them :wink:

    Price is now £440 all mods declared :D :D



  • nice one! better tell them im a HJC member too..

    Definately, you just have to give your username on the forum and they will check you are genuine for discount, also go to adrian flux first and get a quote, then tell them the quote from flux included motor legal and courtesy car and they get added to you policy for free plus the discount to beat adrian flux :wink:



  • You should be getting 10% discount with flux anyway,.. if not i need to have another word with Dan,…

    OOH and in addition all flux specialise in modified cars they really struggle to be competitive with std cars as there loads of companies in the same field,..

    To give you a comparison i had the golf with flux and it came in at 400 fc,.. now i move over to the veccy v6 still with flux and declare some mods and future mods i want,.. also as im a member of a very large veccy club i get an automatic discount of 20% bringing the fc policy to only £211 full ncb protected and full legal cover oh breakdown cover thrown in too,...



  • I've just changed from flux to sky and saved 350 and sky gives 20% discount for UK mx3 members :lol: :lol:

    who did you speek to at sky insurance?



  • Bollocks, I took out insurance with adrian flux, is it not too late to cancel? is there a cooling off period? My insurance policy does not start until beginning of september, I have fully paid already, thoughts please



  • I would call them, there should be a 14 day cooling off period, they might want to charge you an admin fee though!



  • I am pretty sure you can change your mind wqith no fee's for 7-14 days even if you have paid up front



  • My Flux insurance renewal just came through, it beat Sky by £2!



  • I didnt like the hard sell that flux tried on me as a new customer, I only asked for a quote and then at the end of it all I got was if I dont do it now then it will go up by the time I was prepared to pay the following week, not only that I spent over 5 mins on hold on the new customer quote line which should be answered instantly for new customers and that is just a standard thing with all call centers - new custom should always be prioritised, it wasnt there that day
    Plus today flux phoned back and I told them I went with sky and they got quite arsey because I had bought it from sky for only £5 less than they quoted, that bloke was a bit of a d*ck !!

    • = u

    lol

    Cool, cant wait to see the arches,
    I saved a load of money up a few years ago by doing 2 jobs, got rid of all loans and then april came along paid for everything up front, house and car insurance+12 months tax, council tax

    Then with almost no monthly outgoings I quit the second job and started saving that way and TBH its the best thing I ever did and now I just save each year to pay them off in one and I have a lot more freedom each month, I save a little each month for council tax and car insurance but the rest I can pay up front when they are due because I have saved so much from not having the money go out every month :wink:



  • Been on the blower again to Flux, my annual mileage was set to unlimited, I knocked that down to 7K a year, and also quoted UKMX-3.COM and in total received £100 off, total for the year £403! well happy now :D



  • There was a post on her before from a sky insurance rep i think ??? but cant find to reply.
    So not happy with sky insurance!, had my car there before for 2-3 yrs before the quote got beaten by adrian flux. This year i thought i give them another shot at taking over the insurance from adrian flux.
    Adrian flux renual £404.00
    Sky over £800.00 !!!!!!!!
    Honestly i dont know how they can be so far out!, there last renual price was £411.00 as its still on there system
    I wont be calling them again from no on !.



  • Is it possible the topic doesnt exist becasue we dont get discount from sky anymore?!



  • I had my MX3 insured with AA and they never gave me any problems and a very good price. Until now - once I set up an other policy for my MR2. Staying with them seems to be suspicious as I then got two letters from their fraud-people asking for a shitload of information (copies of V5, drivers license, utility bill, something to proof NCB…). Have posted everything yesterday so hopefully should all be sorted soon.

    However - as it looks like I have already sold my MX3 I will cancel that policy with them soon. Insurance for the MR2 is very cheap however - about £250.
