Insurance - A Plan anyone had any experience?
Discussion
I have used A Plan on my past cars (boxster, R32 and RS4) and they were always significantly cheaper than elsewhere. I had a claim which was not my fault and they fought my corner very well indeed - to the point where the other person admitted liability - you can't ask better than that 
I dealt with their Beaconsfield branch who always answered any question when they said they would.
The only down side was that they were no where near the quotes on my A6 Avant (which I found bizzarre) as it's worth £10k and 6 years old! I would have paid a slight premium to stay with them but not 50%

A plan were great when I contacted them saved me £150 from the one with the trunk!
Very courteous and knowledgable on the phone and sorted an admin error out immediately.
I would definately give them a big thumbs up
Yep, they seem superb, saved a packet and definitely know they're sportscars. As Tanman says, the test is when you call them after an accident...Very courteous and knowledgable on the phone and sorted an admin error out immediately.

They now cover our building and contents policy and were far cheaper than Direct Line. Valuables such as watches and jewelery are sensibly covered (cost wise).

They actually qouted me £300 more than Swinton & A-Plan tried saying that the alarm system on the Elise isnt approved! Hence i stayed with Swinton. I got the distinct impression that A-Plan had never dealt with anyone who ownes anything remotely sporty as they didnt have a clue!
That is strange. I've got both my cars insured with them (they do both have Trackers) and it made about £300 saving from a Privvy Ledge renewal quote. Maybe you caught them on a bad day?I'll wait to see if my first renewal quote from them turns out to be as good though. And I've not had to make a claim yet.
Surprised by Boobles statement! I'm with A-Plan for both my cars and have been for 2 years. They were significantly cheaper on the Lotus than anyone else.
MANY people here on PH use them; they did an advertising drive maybe 18months/2yrs ago, something like that, and it went so well and so many PHers used them that they've stuck at it which is why you see the adverts around.
Best bit about them is that the people that answer the phone are just normal guys and girls working in an office, as opposed to a call centre in the outer hebridies or, even worse, another country. Lots of them are petrol heads too.
I must say though that I have no experience of (nor know anybody who has) of making a claim for them which, as others have said, can often be the litmus test for insurance companies.

Another thumbs up for APlan as far as cost goes - they did make some admin errors on my first policy document, but that was all resolved quickly and efficiently, and I think was mainly down to an old qu9ote of mine they had in the system. Saved me about £600 on renewal as well, thanks to my rather interesting driving history.
Not claimed yet (and hope not too!!)

I use A-plan for my Cupra and plan to use them for my Liz when I get it. I have also made a claim through them and found them to be great. The car got sorted very quickly and had no greif at all. I did take out their legal cover with company called something angels.... But big thumbs up from me.
Great service, but do the age old trick of 'whats your best quote', 'just bear with me whilst I check my computer', 'oh good news we are only (quoted price less £20)'.
I would stick your details in confused.com first and then see if A Plan want to beat it
A Plan use 'Groupama' also BTW

They were not the cheapest for me, however, they were the most courteous Insurance company I have ever spoken to on the phone.... Which is why they got my business. Doesn't take much, other insurance companies take note. People do not like talking to a monkey with no common sense, or indeed just sense generally about what they are supposed to be doing.
A-plan get my vote.
