Well i've just come of the phone from Adrian Flux, they won't be getting my business this year again!!

Last year I paid £197.00 Best quote so far from LV is £398.76!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flux came back at over £800! The operator didn't actually give me the full price because she knew about the LV quote!

I'm a 44 year old with a clean licence, living in a rural area of wales with virtually no vehicle crime (according to the insurance postcode thing i'm in one of the best areas in the UK!) max 10K a year! Go figure!

At this rate i'll be parking my car up untill insurance prices come down which means I won't be able to get to work (the service bus comes into the village at 10am on Thursday morning and returns at 4pm thursday afternoon, thats it!!) 5 miles to the nearest town, driving is a necessity not a want!!

I'm 64, clean licence, medium risk area and the insurance on my 1990 Defender 90td is just shy of 200 quid. thats with limited mileage of 8000. Best I could get and it was with Sureterm Direct

I know, thats the gutting thing, I need to drive so they have me over a barrel, but paying almost 10% of your annual income in car insurance isn't an option!

Actuall, let me correct that, one quote I have is 20%!!!

Flux emailed the quote to me today and its over 10% at £660 !!

Look in the gay lander section cos someone else was having problems and got some good prices from several other companies too.

All Insurance is a joke!!
Charge you the earth and don't pay out when needed.

hey all i was going to bye a disco last week for £3000 with loads of mods it had everything done so i rang flux for a quote and told them everything it had on it and they quoted me £2500. ive got my test booked for the 6th of next month so they said they would ring back then to see if i wanted the insurance but they rang today so i told them i didnt bye that motor but i have now got i different disco so i got a quote on that its worth £1400 and only got tyers and bumpers on it so why got back to me with a quote of £2600

how do they work out the same car with less mods and worth more than half the price is £100 more to insure.
looks like ill be getting on the phone and trying to get some cheaper quotes

You probably find it makes sense - those with modded land rovers are probably more likely to look after them, spend the money maintaning them and keep them secured at home, therefore there is a reduced risk in insuring them, even though a payout may be more if it is stolen. Modded vehicles tend to also do less miles so again less risk.

robint · Nov 9, 2012

just phoned flux for my next years renewal quote £164 fully comped all mods declared and off road cover and 5k limited millage looks like ill be sticking with them again next year

That happened to my lad, bought him a Punto Sport and while he was learning it was £1400ish and when he rang to say he had passed his test they wouldnt insure him on it, rang round and nobody would

It's hardly fair to use percentages then is it. 10% of your income probably goes on milk as well.
