Insurance

I've just had a renewal invite for my Beat insurance. Very large hike since last year. I'm with Premium Search. Any recommendations for a good / cheap insurer for the Beat as I've found mainstream companies not interested.

Hiya,
I insure mine online through the policy shop, they sort it out with Highway imports and the result is fully comp, protected, with 2 named drivers for a tad over £200 per year.
May be worth trying.

Hi there, perhaps too late but I insure mine on a Classic Car policy with Sureterm Direct £195.22. (with AXA Ins 5K miles/yr £100 excess)

0845 20 20 230


Based in Huntingdon, Cambs

Cheers, John

Since posting I have had my renewal with SURE and it was £650 and was £195 this year!!! They said they had terminated the classic policies. I called Flux and they did it for £230 with a lower excess, uninsured losses ins, 12 months breakdown cover and agreed valuation. I was happy with that.... Cheers, John

Its gone mental - I live in London and I'm my forties , just had a quote from Sureterm Direct for £2,500! - Performance Direct over £1000, last year I was paying £337 with Adrian Flux and jubilee, this year they want £474....guess its my postcode, only car, and not garaged that's doing the damage...

It sounds like UK insurers are adopting pricing strategies from their US cousins. Lucky you!:mad:

ben with flux they do that did it to me on my mx5 import I did a few quotes on confused and rung round got price right down went back to them and they did it cheaper

[paulspears]

I've used Flux in the past - always seem to come out cheapest - especially if you have a good quote from somewhere else for them to compete with.

[Mylee]

Flux maybe the cheapest, but they are shite when it comes to dealing with claims.

[scottyd]

Used Flux before, never again, they may be cheap but they want to know the inns and outs of a fart, not worth the hassle.

Oh dear, just recently renewed with Flux, got 40% off, better not have a knock then. Didn't fancy a Meercat.
Simples!!!

With Flux too until September. Kinda worried :eek: Bought their breakdown cover, left the lights on a while ago and they flattened the battery. Called flux rescue and advised 50 mins wait. Actually was 2.5hrs and just needed to jump it. Could have got a taxi home and collected my portable jump pack! Already decided to use another breakdown at renewal, now considering the insurance too. True test of a good insurance co is the way they deal with claims when you need their help I guess. Anyone can take money off you these days but they need to do something in return. Flux did agree a value (for a fee) but now with a dilema to 'multicar' and Admiral will cover the Beat but won't agree its value. I can insure 3 cars for the price of 2. Others who agree a value won't multicar. :help:
