What a bag of wank Chris Knott insurance turned out to be. Apparently they cant give me a quote unless I park off the road. Forget the fact im 27, 5yr ncb with a sensible car

Im having to go with Privilige *shiver* it makes me feel so old

 

Try Direct Line! They were the best for me by far. Even though it was a renewal again too.

 

direct line and privilige are the same company(well same underwriters)

dont get me wrong, im happy with my premium of Ł348 FC, i just heard that chris knott were supposed to be the bollocks

 

I heard that Adrian flux were supposed to be good too.. they're fucking useless !

 

i've been with privilage for 3 years now, not the cheapest but by far the best cover.

 

I never heard of them if im honest. Most places want Ł450ish for me 28 with 8 years NCB from my 2001 gti-6 Though Driect line was Ł370 FCB i still think its to much. But what can i do.

 

I agree

 

Me too and will insure another car on the same policy for 30 days and it costs next to nowt

 

Ive just had my renewal through from chris knott and its gone up Ł200 i dont get how that works i thought it was suppost to go down not up

You only learn how good an insurance is when you make a claim.

 

Why don't you try need2insure we've got both the st & cossie insured with them excellent service, give Paul Bostrom a call on 01623-720081

 

They always used to be about double the price of everybody else for me. I was trying to insure a standard Focus 1.6 at the time.

They are a specialist ( modified ) insurance company So they are not competitive for boring standard cars

have been with them a few times over the years, allway been ok for me

 

in what way are they by far the best cover? optional extras included free etc?

 

But one of only 2 companies in the UK that would even quote on my car all mods claimed with use of Nitrous. Greenlight were the other but even they didnt like talk of over 800bhp.

 

I have used Adrian Flux numerous times for Ford, BMW and Mitsi and they've always been okay and sometimes the cheapest.

 

Greenlight had my business for years, then last year decided to completely fuck up their customers, and would not do quotes over the phone? .. They also decided to offer me a 12k agreed value on a very modified Escort Cosworth, when I had asked for 22k, I mean a standard Escort will fetch 12k, and my gearbox was 4k on it's own .... And then if you read the small print, you don't even get the agreed value half of the time!!! The amount of business they must have lost is amazing, as at least 7 of my mates were insured with them have now gone elsewhere as the customer service has gone from fantastic to awful...

So I am now with Adrian flux, who have agreed a value of 22k with me for the Escort, and will pay out in all circumstances ...

 

You should try Bell car insurance. Were the cheapest for me by far and others I know.

Benni.

 

You hope.

Wouldn't touch Adrian Fuck-Ups with a very long pole.

 

At the end of the day, all insurance companies are cunts when it comes to paying out , I just hope I never need to claim as I quite like my 10 years NCB, and 22k would still be well short of what the Escos owes me

 

I've just heard a few too many horror stories about them mate!

I was once offered a really good deal by them on a car, and was very tempted, but decided against it. Their customer service is very good until they get your money, then it seems to go to pot!

 

Exactly and Chris Knot springs to mind straight away
Not just me , but a few others i know of have had shit loads of trouble from them
One even had his car removed to what might as well have been the other end of the country and when asked to "retain the salvage" he had to pay the storage and the car was robbed of most of its goodies while in storage
My car, i parked it at the back of the workshop and had it on axle stands with no wheels and when the recovery truck came ( after they said they would NOT send it) i said " good luck"
Sorted it in the end but my god what a load of neadless hassel

 

Im with Fluxy, Ł330 fully comp with all my mods and a cage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but i am 37

 

need to insure are the people you need to be talking to.

 

I've heard lots of good things about them lately!

 

Im with flux, got a great quote for my bmw that i sold a while back, and quoted me pretty good on my Civic now

 

flux are wanks but when you drive a cosworth conversion theres not much choice.

 

they are good,mint to talk to,just renewed my saff with them and insured the daily runner 3months back with them.

 

Is the need2insure guy a member on here?

 

not sure to be honest,but he a member on seriesoneturbo.co.uk under paulb

 

aa are useless,didnt like my dealings with flux the twice i was with them.cant remember who im with now with the cossie but its a cossie specialist.i have just bought a v6 nova so im not sure if they will cover that,fingers crossed!
