Rapierdave Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi Just had my renewal through from Adrian Flux for my 1980 Ascona B, including breakdown recovery it was £155 which was a big increase on last year. Asked if they could give me a better price as I have my Manta with them as well & they checked & said no. So I've now insured with Hagerty on the Ascona at £108 including breakdown & no additional £15 premium for agreed value. Hagerty have also quoted me £178 for insuring both my Manta & Ascona so when my Manta runs out with Adrian Flux in July i'll be taking up Hagerty's offer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It'll be interesting to see what my renewal with RH will be like for the Manta and Viva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi, First of all thank you for your custom over the last 12 months and I apologise that there was an increase this year. I'm glad to see you were able to find competitive cover and if you decide to try us again come renewal I would be more than happy to assist as always. We also do offer to try and compete with alternative quotations upon renewal where possible too. Thanks again Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is how insurance companies roll no wonder the price keeps rocketing up with the so called admin costs. I might as well take my cars with another company when my flux insurance ends soon, as nobody seems to look after long term customers. p.s sorry for jumping in on your thread Rapierdave Edited April 21, 2016 by robah Apologise for thread jumping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have moved if the difference was small but I have saved £47. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 You have opened my eyes on Adrian Flux too, I have been checking, and R H can do it for £48.00 less, so I'm going to try some others now and get the best quote, I only went to Adrian Flux thinking that many of our members use them so they must be fair. I do NOT understand why they tell us " If you have obtained a favourable quote elsewhere, contact us and we GUARANTEE to beat their price" as per their leaflet.So that proves that they are charging to much when they give a quote!

Rapierdave Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 I tried them on their price guarantee when I told them about the quote for my Ascona I had from Hagerty & they said they couldn't match it ! My Manta insurance is up for renewal with Flux in June, i'll see what the renewal quote is & then see what others including Hagerty can do it for. I'll try the price guarantee again & see what they say this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlinetta Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 "Guarantee" = false advertising??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 1 hour ago, Berlinetta said: "Guarantee" = false advertising??? No because they always state the quote isn't like for like. Although they've never really been able to explain why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maher the hermit Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Just renewed my insurance with flux was quoted £110 but when i went to insure with them a month later jumped to £126 and wanted to mirror my ncb on my other car which ive never had to do before. Also they quote £38 for breakdown but i was told £65 over the phone as my policy wouldn't accept the lower price???? Your thoughts Dan please. Ive used flux for as long as i can remember but i will be going elsewhere next time if its not any better next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 What was the result of this mahur, was it resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe of Lincoln Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Try Chris Knott. £74 fully comp for the B with agreed value on a limited mileage policy with no breakdown cover. Really decent people to deal with. Even recommended a more appropriate insurer to me for my MG when I bought it last year and needed a specialist policy for what is a much younger car - couldn't have asked for better service.

I will be seriously looking soon for insurance and going to try and do a two car policy on my Manta and Vectra GSi if anyone will touch them together.

flatfish Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Although I have my 79 Berlinetta Coupe up for sale, I decided to re-insure it after several time wasting replies to my ad. Was told by my insurers that to take out a further 12 months my premium had gone up about £30. So shopped around on the net and finally went with Adrian Flux (have insured yanks with them before) the good news for me was after haggling and quoting other classic car brokers, I got my Manta insured = limited mileage breakdown cover and they wavered the charge for agreed value total cost £79 thought this was very reasonable anyone agree or can you better this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
