bit unimpressed with todays inquirey....

So I insured my TD5 discovery 2 last september for £500ish, then changed to a disco 1 Tdi

when I changed to the ddisco 1 there was no refund, even though the car was obviously cheaper to insure - this I didnt mind too much.

yesterday I rang for a new quote, on a Hilux Surf.. customer services were shut so got a complete new quote to guage - £415

so how much to swap with 1 month left?? - £56 :eek:

they say equity red star want £540 to insure the surf (even though yesterday equity red star quoted £415)

seems they like to take the piss with part way car swaps, especially as the woman on the phone basically said If I went from a Surf to a TD5 disco it would cost more!!?? which is wahat I origionally paid for :mad:

I wouldn't mind a paperwork fee, but a cost on top for a car which by thier own admittance should be £100+ a year cheaper to insure.

And no refund of the 6 weeks left if I cancel.

Did for me too. Changed from my 200sx to a Golf GT-TDi - apparently the Golf is a higher risk as its a sports model :confused:

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. So a rather modified (all declared) 280-odd bhp RWD sports car is a lower risk and cheaper to insure than a bog standard 5 door diesel Golf???? There was an additional £120 charge for the 3 months remaining on my insurance (200sx was £420 to cover fully comp). So I got some quotes from other companies - ended up with Sky for a LOT less. Told Flux to cancel the policy for which they charged me £65. Suffice to say, they have lost my business after being with them for a number of years with both mine and the missus cars.

There is a slim (slimmer than a supermodel after a months starvation diet) chance I may go with them again when the 200sx is back with a vengeance but it would have to beat everyone else by a significant amount and not the £2 or so that they ususally do.
