Hi,
If you can PM me your policy number I can check this out, as we're a broker we have a number of insurers with different cancellation terms.
Kind regards,
Dan.

Hi Dan,
I'll tell you what I don't fancy your job one little bit Sir.
I mean we've all heard, "any publicity is good publicity" but the Company you either own or work for is really "pushing the envelope" on that one!
Can't please all the people all…… That's a given but come on.
This Club is very well established and is known right across the spectrum of post 1970 Classic Car Clubs.
We are not a little player.
I worked for many years selling cars like these new and used back in the day….
But there was one old and true saying about this industry then and it goes as follows:
"You do someone a good deal and at least 50 people will know about it, but if you do someone a bad deal 500 people will know about over time."
And that was before the invention of the INTERNET.
Think about it, what do Men talk about the most (careful there), what are we doing now for G_d sake?
I just wanted speak my mind on this post as I've read every entry and it must be clearly understood.
That this is my personal comment and involves no one else, including the 'The Club Committee' in any way shape or form.
I live in Austria and what you do or don't do has no impact on me directly whatsoever but surely it's time to 'Look outside the box'?
Respectfully yours.
Mike.

It's essentially legalised extortion.
A few big companies control the market and they all pi… in the same pot so you are snookered really.
There's an Insurance Ombudsman you can complain to but what is really needed as a sort of OFSTED regulator that checks up on insurance companies and proactively enforces some common sense rules like limiting charges when making changes of cars etc.
The govn take a cut via insurance tax so could fund such an organisation.
I think the internet has to take some blame. Its made comparisons of cost so easy that it has forced the insurance company's to jettison everything else to come out as the cheapest and be at the top of the comparison list.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

yesterday and explained my experiences, and credit where credits, due, i had a call from the Adrian Flux customer service team today, with an offer of a partial refund of the charges. So a Thankyou to him for taking the time to look into the issue for me .
Although there is still work to be done i feel it may be a step in the right direction, we shall see come renewal.

After all the discounts etc and with a better Agreed Value than AF, the quote was half of AF at £80.
So at last Bye Bye Adrian Sucks 😉

Sure, there are always going to be cheaper. There's no man on this earth that can't buy something for cheaper elsewhere. Frustrating if they don't respond to requests but maybe they didn't want your business.
Personally I've been with AF for about 4 years and so far so good - although I've never had to make a claim.

With both policies that I had taken out on my 2 mk1's their service was terrible.
Only when Dan on this forum got involved did anything positive happen.
I would not use them again and the customer service that I have received from Admiral and also Direct Line before has been spot on with my other 3 cars.
Direct line were also perfect when we made a claim after an accident.

I've been on the phone to them 3 times in the last 4 days to correct information in my policy paperwork.
I'm sure if I didn't then they would use the errors to try and get out of paying in the event of a claim.
They also seem to tell you one thing on the phone and then the paperwork says something else including all the 'extras' they didn't tell you.
They wait until after they have taken your payment and then send you the paperwork with all the other caveats.
All of this on top of renewing the policy 4 days early (and taking the money from my bank using the card details I gave them last year) without my permission.
I'm calling them again tomorrow to try and clear all this up; if I can't then the policy will be cancelled (I'm sure there will be some ridiculous cancellation fee).

Somebody crashed into me while I was driving my wife's car. Straight forward case and no injury and I was mon fault and the claim went through the other drivers insurance.
So I told AF this yet on my policy it has the accident as my fault and that it affected my no claims bonus !!

As I have said before, when you step in it all goes to plan, so hats off to you.
I will message you if I'm staying but I think that I am heading elsewhere.
Your renewal price is reasonable but your still more expensive.
Cheers
