Just rang Flux there to cancel my renewal and they couldnt believe how cheap Graham Sykes were, especially fully comp too!!!

So i rang them to make sure everything was correct and in order and it is.

Cant wait to swap it over!

Honest, give them a ring and try them.

[Prickle]

Well what quotes did they both give you??

[MickyWelsh172]

Well what quotes did they both give you??

Renewal from Flux was £1,565 3rd party.... Sykes is £661 Fully Comp with Mod's included!!!!

Nearest price 3rd party on comparison site's was £1,388 from Privilege.

[Boombang]

Used them about 10 years ago for a couple of years. Since I moved postcodes they have been unable to get anywhere near other quotes.

Hmm, Adrian flux been back in touch with me today, offered me the same carry on for £670 Comprehensive cover!

Shall i stay where i am or leave for the sake of £9 lol?

Flux/Sykes? You decide?

[mlawlan69]

I personally would Fuck flux off just for being cheeky cunts and hoping you would just accept your renewal which is more than double that of the price they want to keep you at!!

[e8_pqck]

Hiya

We can only offer the rates we have available from our panel of Underwriters. We cant drop rates, however much we may want to. If you do get a cheaper quotation, at renewal or as a brand new Client, we would refer the rate to our Underwriters to see if they are prepared to compete. I'm happy to here we have managed to arrange a cheaper quotation for you, if I can assist with this in any way for you please feel free to PM me anytime.

With regards

Dan

And yet when I came back with a cheaper quote than the £3000 with an excess to match offered by yourselves, I was told I was "dreaming" if I thought that was a genuine quote..

So professional.

I was with you for about 9 of the last 12 years.

Every renewal the price went up by several hundred £ :fcuk:
Every time I got a cheaper price. you magically could match it.

Why not just send your best price at renewal ;)

I knew every year when my renewal came through the price would be a joke.

Got so pissed off with it :wall:
I went elsewhere this year, even though you matched the price I'm paying now.

Then 3 days after my new policy started, I got a phone call off yourselves asking why I hadn't renewed.
A bit late, after the policy had started

Exactly what I did this year, now with Brentacre

[MickyWelsh172]

The off putting thing is the £1000 Excess and the 7500 miles..

Sykes is 10,000 miles and £500 excess.

[Jay_T87]

Ive just filled in the online form.. lets wait and see what they come back with...

Go with Sykes then.

[tobomoto]

I had an email from them saying they needed pics of exterior, interior and the engine bay. Is this normal for an insurance company? (apart from agreed value)

Yes, I sent pics on of mine.

Im sorry to hear you have had this experience. I would be keen to know who spoke to you in this way as we have high expectations of our clerks. Would you be so kind to PM me the quote reference so I could look into this for you?

With thanks

I would, however this was in June so I no longer have any reference's from any quotes I made at the time.

However, it was enough for me to want to discount yourselves from any future quotes.

[MickyWelsh172]

Just rang Brentacre, offered me better package for £549! Cant say no really, lol!!!

[MickyWelsh172]

And now down to £515 with Greenlight, Fully comp with £250 excess and 12,000 miles, mod's declared!

Your call attendants are pretty rude and short, after the first 30 seconds on the phone I was infuriated by her manner. Not a good experience in any case. i mamaged to get a quote and it was over a grand, Sykes got back with £430. Not long after i got a further quote for £750 from flux, wasn't even in the same ballpark tbf.

[saladdodger]

Same as HIC who I believe are part of Flux.

£350 fc, another company wanted £150 fc inc breakdown (not on saxo)

You got a web link for these guys?

I tried the Sykes company but because im in the forces he want all my service details for some unknown reason.. i asked why and they wouldnt giv eme an answer as to why they wanted them.

And further to this, they were asking for pictures of my car for the purpose of a quote.. All smelt a bit fishy to me:detective:

Greenlight won't insure any saxo's :n:

[tobomoto]

Im down to 256 with flux- not bad really. Oddly though, i got a quote for the missus vtr. 1 year ncb, 25 yr old, held licence 7 years £328 with diamond :/. Thats less that flux quotes me for a reneeal price...

[MickyWelsh172]

Argh is that right?

Bit shit if it is, sorry for posting them up in here.
