Adrian Flux= Robbing scum
Bush Tucker Man:
I used Flux for a couple of years with the Discovery, & until renewal time on the 110.
I took out a policy with NFU Mutual, at least if there's a problem I can drive over to the office at Lepton (Huddersfield)& sort it out, or go in the opposite direction to the regional HQ at York.

My car's with AF at the moment, but won't be at renewal, as hopefully it will be sold by then! They were by far the cheapest. It's been a long time since I'd used Flux's - my first car was insured by them when they were based in a small shop in King's Lynn. They're quite a bit bigger now! They want £15 every change I make to the policy though, so I've made sure there haven't needed to be any!
The 90's with NFU. I've always had my LR's with them (apart from a classic policy with Peter Best a few years ago), and they've been very, very good at paying out on claims (3 in about 4 years so far...) and I really cannot fault the rest of the service - cover notes sent to dealers when requested etc.
They've been a lot slower in re-claiming any money from the "other" insurance company - the first took just over 12 months, and the second's not been recovered yet - nearly 2 years later... That one's with solicitors, but no one seems to want to pay out. Bl**dy Norwich Union (apparently).
Unfortunately my most recent theft will stay "at fault" as it was "in my custody" when it got stolen - unlike the 300TDi!
Cheers

I had to go into my local branch of my bank to get my money back buts thats all sorted.
Ive been in touch with the FSA and the very nice lady said thats not the first time shes heard of them doing this and she wouldnt be surprised if they gave me some sort of compensation so ill be going down that route! i wonder if they would pay it in the form of a 12000lb winch? lol
Ive put this on several other forums and the general opinion is use them at your peril and expect to get shafted at some point, especially if you need to make a claim! But im guessing all insurance companies can be like that!
Cheers, Rob
Evilgoat:
I have heard both good and bad things.
They refused to insure the Audi on the basis it wasnt modified enough. When I did talk them round they wanted £1100 tpft (I pay £300 f/c).
No issues with the bike at all, nice and cheap and paid out fast when I got run over by some daft old bat in a megane.
Mate had no end of trouble after getting clocked by a bus in his clio RSI at the same time someone else on a forum picked a fight with a Golf, and was technically his fault, they argued it pretty hard and it came out that the Golf had no MOT :)
Range Rover Red:
They just keep sending me snotty letters demanding the keys. The last four letters have been addressed to me in my married name but the salutation is to my maiden name - who's checking the letters before they sign them???? I'd be on a written warning for that!
