BoozyDave Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 My renewal came through from Keith Michaels, for my impreza it was £815 and for them to insure my vito work van they quoted £950. so I phoned flux and impreza was £750 and vito £660, they were their first quotes and I didn't even haggle when I phoned keith michaels to tell them I wasn't going to renew my policy, they said I should have phoned them and they could have beaten my new quotes :( like WTF! why not quote me lower in the first place then, so it doesn't look like they are trying to rip me off 1
quit Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah all insurance companies say oh we could if done better !! Then why didn't they send it originally ?

bitman Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 well i had it the other way around as adrian crux was £150 more then km it goes like the weather IMHO
tom_gr7 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Flux offered me 950 for my legacy, got it elsewhere for 550. Was a nice chap on the phone though, :)
Gambit Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Out of interest was all the above through the clubs insurance ?
bitman Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Out of interest was all the above through the clubs insurance ? yes 1
antlockyer Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I'm not getting on too well with them. They were cheap, much cheaper than anyone else. I've sent them my documents a couple of times and they keep on asking for them, latest email today (after a letter asking me to send my driving licence copies again) was to ask my reg number. Same as it was when I rang up to get my insurance.
Gambit Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I will PM that guy whos on here that works for them for you see if he can deal with it personally for you. Had a few members have good feedback for them through the club. Never nice to see this more so with club members. But glad to hear Bitman got it sorted fine and cheap :D UPDATE I've messaged Dan on here for you see if we can get something sorted one way or another :(
antlockyer Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks, to be honest it is getting on my nerves but not enough that I'd bother with the cancellation fee
Gambit Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Well see what happens. And I would be the same. I've linked him here and to your profile so hopefully hear something :)
tom_gr7 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Out of interest was all the above through the clubs insurance ? yeah he specifically asked me if i was members of the owners club. then he went of the speak to the "underwriter" - lol whoever that guy is, but he sounded like he was in the know.
Gambit Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 It is weird Flux was also involved with my old club a few years back always had mixed reviews there too but had someone that was use the forums to sort most things out might be the same guy. I'm not sure but most people got on well with them.
bitman Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks, to be honest it is getting on my nerves but not enough that I'd bother with the cancellation fee we also have burn our hands on their total disorginised administration. there is a read-up on the Hilux forum from me and some other members... but they are not allone as many others are the same. they never heard of centralized database systems, email, scanners etc etc like a banana republic. had my current insurance calling me today and yesterday about the same issue while there is no claim so no issue!!! told the guy on the phone that i was annoyed by his calls 1
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I'm not getting on too well with them. They were cheap, much cheaper than anyone else.

Same as it was when I rang up to get my insurance. Hi there, Sorry to hear you've been having trouble. If you PM me some of your details I'll look into the matter immediately. Many thanks Dan
BoozyDave Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Well, I've been truly shafted!!!! it turns out that the Flux policy for my car was supposed to be the same as Keith Michaels, just got the limited mileage form through and it is only for 3,000 miles, not 5,000 like it should be. I phoned them up this morning and they said if I raise the allowed mileage to 5,000 it would 'only' cost me another £150!!!! Robbing ******'s!!!! That's more than my renewal quote! I said it's within 14 days so can I cancel? Yes I can, but I have to pay some fees, so 10 days insurance has cost me over £100! I've phoned Keith Michaels and they have done it for £750 like they said. Very disappointing from a club sponsor! NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!!
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Hi Dave Sorry to hear about this, Can you please PM me your details and I will have a look into this. If you have a Customer reference number or surname and postcode that would be great. Regards Dan
BoozyDave Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 YHPM NO, I didn't want an STI, and YES, I could afford one if I did want one!!!! 1
JusNoGood Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I'm just interested to understand what is causing the insurance to be so high. Is it your age, lack of NCD or the mod on your car do you think? I'm currently paying £225 for a bog standard WRX and I'm kind of getting interested in the Mod scene but am a bit scared of what it can do to my insurance.
BoozyDave Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 I'm 36 with 10 years NCB, but I had a bump 18 months ago (protected) no points, the nearest 5 streets are decent with no crime, but about quarter a mile away there's a council estate that's a bit rough. I think that's more of a problem than the car I drive.
