RE: PHers To Get Up To 15% Insurance Discount With Flux
Discussion
Hi Ash.
Maybe you would like to help a pistonhead member resolve a ridiculous situation with Adrian Flux. I used to own a 156 GTA. Insurance costed 400 per year, enabling me to drive other cars. It was renewed in April.
Fast forward to now, and I have sold the GTA. I needed to insure my lovely old XM full time. I was given a quote of 213 quid, which is excellet, except I'm not able to drive other cars. I ask if I can have a quote enabling me to drive other cars. Yes is the answer. For 700 quid. What the actual f
k? Are you all smoking crack there?
My only other option is a refund of 174 quid. I fail to understand how over 50% of my premium has "been used" in less than 5 months.
Your comments please.

It sounds like due to the type of vehicle you are now insuring, you would be on a classic car policy which would usually not allow you to drive other vehicles. The other schemes we would have for that car would not be specialist classic policies so would not be tailored to that type of vehicle so they tend to be very expensive. In regards to refunds many of the companies that we use have varying ways they give work out cancellation figures. Most of the classic schemes don't give any refunds upon cancellation. I would need you to PM me your details to give you any more information about this.
Thanks
Ash
I have just come out of a company car scheme so I have no no claims discount, although I have 15 years + as a company car driver without a claim.
Purchased a Renaultsport Megane 265 earlier this year. I had originally got a quote for around £850.00 for an RS250 but as the 265 was a new model and not even on the list of most companies I ended up paying £2,200.00 with Renault insurance as the only option I had, which has seriously pi**ed me off.
Is this something that Flux would be competitive with?
I reckon at some point I should be able to get a more realistic deal and I would look to cancel the existing insurance and reinsure if the saving/refund makes it worthwhile

It would be worth a look when your renewal is due. Once you have a years ncb from Renault and you have owned that vehicle for 12 months we have specialist hot hatch schemes that could get you a good deal. Feel free to PM me some details at the time and I can have a look at quotes for you. Thanks Purchased a Renaultsport Megane 265 earlier this year.

Thought I'd just mention your policy of sending through an inflated quote with the promise of automatic renewal just lost you a customer. Lucky for me I had to change my card this year.
I utterly hate that practice and I've found a better policy which is 30% less than your inflated quote.
+1 (well +2 actually) both renewals from Flux this year at least £200 more than elsewhere. I utterly hate that practice and I've found a better policy which is 30% less than your inflated quote.
With the first renewal I went through the rigmarole of a re-quote with Flux and they managed to knock £170 off. Still went elsewhere.
This renewal, not even bothering...

Currently discussing my discount with Flux at the moment.
They want me to provide my username and password to pistonheads so that they can verify my membership!
Really? That's madness!
Hello, We do checks occasionally for this type of thing. It's worth doing if it gives you money off for being a member of a free website though. They want me to provide my username and password to pistonheads so that they can verify my membership!

Sorry to hear that you have gone elsewhere. If you would like me to look at quotes for you next time around feel free to pm me some details. Thanks

I'm surprised they want the password.
Especially considering this part of the Pistonheads T+Cs

Sorry to air this in public, but there's no need to do this at all. We'd like to be consulted before you ask this question as it's not what we want you to do, not least as it has confidentiality issues.
I'll mail our Flux contacts about this now. You do a good job for us, but can't see a reason to ask this.

I assume we may have asked for the username as proof of membership but I can't imagine we would have asked for the password, as previously mentioned we shouldn't have. Sorry I should have clarified that.

I was asked for the username and password so that you could verify my membership.
I refused to provide my password. I provided my username and a link to my profile by email.
