Insurance Renewal Today Thread..

[neebover]

Ok,

Car insurance renewal came through in post from Adrian Flux with the following:

Myself (30) & Partner (24) on the policy...

Fully Comp
£350 Excess
9 Years Protected No Claims
Locked Garage Overnight
Cat 1 Alarm System
Legal Cover

£850!!!!!!!!!!

Got ont'net and found several cheaper quotes, one being Admiral for £388 & as above. Just under £500 cheaper. Called Mr.Flux who has a "Find a cheaper deal & we''ll beat it guaranteed". Great I thought. Mr.Flux logged into my quote on Admiral website & called me back to say "Hmmm, they have hammered us there". He then spoke to his boss who gave me the policy as above for a straight £380. :mischeif:

PAYS TO SHOP AROUND...

Pays to be old for a change

My ABY for my partner and myself, protected no claims - £196 per year

Do live in a low risk area apparently

good on you m8 makes you wonder what commission there on

[neebover]

Exactly, it must be all about profit.. If I just signed up they would have gained nearly £500 more from me.. God only knows how many don't shop about and just sign up for another year..

Having said that £196 will be hard beaten

It doesn't pay to be loyal these days. My renewal always seems expensive. Ask the same company for a quote as a new customer and it is usually a lot cheaper. I think they just hope you'll take the easy/lazy option, sign that renewal form and pay whatever they say.

I con core, when i turned 21 the AA wanted £1200 and admiral only £600

The area i live in is in the mists of no where, posh, quite and the car has its own garage when there is space if not its behind a locked gate

Greenlight are much better and offer a similar policy to HIC with track cover and insured like-for-like modifications. I paid £570, 25 + parents, 7 years NCB...

I've had cars with Fluxy for years inc 911's,M5's and all sorts of other group 18-20 cars.

I had a £700.00 odd quote for them for the S2, called Admiral and got it fully comp for about £300.00 ish on a multi-car policy. Fluxy couldnt touch it on their "we'll match any quote" b*ll*****..

Admiral breakdown cover is expensive tho, about £85.00 if i remember correctly. Also, will shortly be telling them of a few mods so that should bge interesting..
