Insurance Renewal Time...

[Johnmed]

Direct Line more than doubled my renewal, and days of online quote seeking followed.

Crazy quotes were coming in left, right and centre. Especially as I'm 35, nice area, kept on drive and 10 yrs NCD.

I tried all the variables, more/fewer miles a year, with/out a named driver to no avail. Quotes ranged from £440 - £900! without protected NCD, without legal protection, without everything basically.

Kept going and went directly to the big companies in addition to the major comparison sites, still no joy. The cheapest on the comparison sites turned out to be profiteering A-holes who wanted a lot more money given that the wife and I have both been on speed awareness courses (and have clean licences) years ago. So on principal I avoided them.

Anyway, I tried Addian Flux, and got a good policy, protected NCD, fully comp including European travel (up to 60 days at a time) for under £400.

I've always heard good things about Flux on the Internet but they've never been anywhere near competitive in the past.

So, maybe others should try them too. (I nearly didn't bother)
