My insurance is due for renewal soon and have spent a frustrating afternoon getting quotes for the A4.....
No problems at all with many of the companies until I mention the car has an RS4 grille and a TDi tuning module, at which point they start producing ridiculous quotes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif.
Typical quotes (unmodified car) that I've had are approx the £440 mark, from both Norwich Union Direct and Tesco (with whom I'm currently insured), the comedy quote was Admiral, at £675 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif .
With the tuning module fitted Norwich Union wouldn't cover the car /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burningmad.gif, whilst Tesco's revised quote was £582 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
I want to change from Tesco as I was told prior to buying / fitting the tuning box that the extra premium would be approx £50 per year, when I rang them up to say I was just about to fit the box they then told me it would cost an extra £35 just until the end of my policy (about 6 weeks).
To say I was peeved about this apparent rip-off is an understatement...
Anyway,have got a quote from Adrian flux for £413 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif,fully comp with all mods declared ,protected NCB, legal cover protection and courtesy car , excess at £250 is lower than I'm currently on too...
Can't help feeling though that the Adrian Flux quote is a little too good to be true and am a bit worried that they use 'Mickey Mouse' insurance companies....
Anyone have any experience or know which companies Flux tend to use?
I guess when all the paperwork comes through for the quote I'll have more opportunity to study who Flux use, but am wondering if I should try anybody else for a quote, or go for Flux?
If anyone has experience of Flux I'd be grateful to hear, both good and bad....
Thanks
Paul
