    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.

    A true sports car should be designed so that when you sit in it you can put your arm over the side and touch your knuckles on the ground.

    Renewal

    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

    Insurance

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    With Flux too until September. Kinda worried 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.
