Joe Cott Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 hi folks, just thought I'd share my insurance renewal experience so far!!! Had the car 4 months so not insred for a full year yet. I'm sure everyone has a story to tell but this is mine so far. I am currently with Saga who will not quote more than 30 days from policy end; the rest I just lied about the renewal date but the figures are correct. One of the quotes was for over £1000 but I was laughing so much I forgot to note which company Has anyone got any recommendations or am I on a good dea for a 70 year old? CAR INSURANCE Ins. Company Excess total Hire car Annual Cost VIA Lancaster 350 yes 198 go compare Fluxdirect 350 yes 232 compare the market Saga check 14th November Saga direct Right choice 350 yes 250 quote.money.co.uk Saga 250 yes 263 compare the market Confused.com 250 yes 269 direct Privilige 350 yes 286 confused.com Aviva 350 yes 405 CRAP Quotemehappy 500.43 bit more CRAP Admiral 655 lots more CRAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I would consider the best cover rather than price as things like excess and loan car and legal cover all add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Your best bet is to ring them I have found you get a cheaper quote over the phone. Plus the fact two insurance companies I spoke to.told need they do cheaper quotes over the phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cott Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 all good advice but I am amazed at the difference for "alegedly" the same service. I've used Saga on & off for many tears & usually find they will, if not match, get close to most others & the Saga service is always brilliant in times of need (not for a few years now thankfully) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi, have you tried us for insurance yet? Flux Direct is not run directly by Adrian Flux (it is run by our sister company HIC under license), and does not use the same ratings. Because of the wider range of schemes, as well as the cheaper rates we have access to, you will almost always get a cheaper quote by ringing Adrian Flux. Over 75% of our customers find they receive a more competitive quotation by calling in as we can discuss options and make small changes to decrease the premium. If you wanted to drop me a PM I'd be happy to arrange a quotation for you. Kind Regards Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cott Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 thanks very much for the advice Dan, I will do after the 14th (30 days from renewal) Are you the same chap who advises on the MX5OC forum? will PM later if you can tell me how; there is no pm button that I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi again Joe, No problem and yes I also post on the MX-5 Owners Club forum - they are also a key club for Flux. You should be able to message me by clicking through the envelope at the top of the page which should hold all your messages / notifications? Thanks again.

Joe Cott Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 that is intersting, I have used dashcams on my cars for some years. never needed the evidence of a bang yet but better safe than broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
