Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. If you wanted to PM me some contact details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back.
Regards,
Dan.

Well after I renewed my policy last night with Lancaster via their automated system they have just phoned me to say the quote was wrong and they have dropped a bollock. So just for that I think I will have a shop around again and maybe give flux a chance to regain my custom.

I have been in Sales for a long time and the hardest thing to do is try to tell someone you have made a mistake and the cost is a lot higher than you told them!!!! A big Insurance Company should not make a stupid mistake like that and I don't blame you for going elsewhere. Have you tried Need To Insure?

Carole Nash for me agreed value etc.

Flux are too expensive and you have to pay extra for agreed value.

Need to insure have very good quotes.
