Personally I wouldn't touch Adrian Flux with someone else's bargepole.
A good couple of years ago I called them and after disclosing my best quote so far was offered a policy at a slightly lower price. I asked for a reference number but was told that this special price was only available whilst I was on the phone. I calmly asked for the girls name and said that I wanted to speak to her manager. When she asked me why I told her that she had broken the law and I wanted to know why her manager taught/encouraged such behaviour, she hung up on me. When I phoned back every operator told me their was no record that I had even had a quote. No wonder I record all business phone calls now..
October 2015; I got a quote on Google Compare with Adrian Flux as the provider. It was a good quote and so I accepted it. I then got a phone call the day before the cover was due to start to tell me that the policy had been cancelled as I had not disclosed a County Court Judgement against me. I did not know I had ever had one and there is no evidence that I do (another story). I had paid for the policy outright which had nearly emptied my bank account so I couldn't afford another policy with someone else. It took Adrian Flux over four days to return my money during which time I was uninsured and so couldn't get to work 20 miles away. This cost me approximately £350. I went back through the "Google Compare" system and at no point was I asked if I had a CCJ. So even if I had known that I (allegedly) had one I wasn't asked about it so Adrian Flux assumed that I didn't and therefore based my quote on false information. I tried to get compensation for my loss of earnings but was given such a load of contradictory BS by the legal department that I would have needed a law degree to decipher it, shamefully I gave up and moved on like a good prole should.
The company and their practice ethos is absolutely disgusting. I doubt they are significantly worse than any other but I've been burned twice by a company that drapes semi-naked slags across cars to sell their services, that's enough for me to take time out to bad-mouth them.
They have a website which to be fair is not as cheap looking as the Max Power type ads from before but still has nothing to do with something as boring and bureaucratic as insuring your car; http://www.fluxbabes.co.uk/ That just screams professionalism doesn't it? I'll be sure to choose my next phone and broadband supplier by how much skin they show dancing on a telegraph pole..
Sorry you feel this way, I can only apologise if you have previously had a bad experience with ourselves.
We are a broker that works on a live server, so it is the insurers we work with that set the prices, not us. Therefore the member of staff was correct in saying that we can only guarantee a price until the end of the phone call.
Whilst we appreciate that the Fluxbabes may not be to everyone's taste, we find them to still be an effective marketing tool. They are also all girls that work in our office who volunteer for the role - we do not outsource to modelling agencies - so if you ever see them at a show they will be able to answer any insurance queries you may have. We have also made efforts to tone it down from the 'Max Power' days.
If you wanted to PM me some details I'd be happy to look into any issues you may have.
Kind RegardsDan

Funny that,no one will give me classic insurance on my 20 year old Volvo.
Hi,
Sorry it's a bit of a late reply but we have classic schemes that will cover a 20 year old Volvo.

Hi everyone,
If you've owned your car long enough, it becomes more than just a car, but rather an extension of the family, a faithful steed or an old friend. Here we look at motorists who have owned the same car for 30 / 40 / 50 years.
Do you have you own Forever Car?
https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/forever-cars/
Let us know what you think!

We would always advise that clients declare ALL modifications including remaps. Different insurers have different ways of calculating the additional prices, but generally the percentage increase in horsepower will more or less equal the percentage increase in policy premium.

Hi Peter,
Been doing more reading up on the S Type, and too be honest it's probably more car than I need if that makes any sense. Other factors I have to consider when compared to the X Type are tax, insurance and mpg. The restricted rear leg room isn't an issue as I'll never sit there - ha ha. No, actually I rarely if ever have back-seat passengers. And on a purely personal level, I prefer the front end look of the X Type.
If the black one I mentioned is as good as it sounds, then I'll probably give it a new home. I'll let you know and post some pictures when I get it.
Cheers.
Steve.Hi and welcome Steve.
If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line if you wish.

Hi all,Just a quick note to let you all know about a new product Adrian Flux Insurance is now offering – it’s called “Roadhalo”. It costs just £19.99 and provides expert legal assistance and advice in the event of you being prosecuted of a driving conviction. For lesser driving offences, the team of specialist solicitors will help you through the conviction process and advise you if there is a course available rather than points and fine.
The legal team behind “Roadhalo” have a proven record of reducing the severity of your punishment if there are mitigating circumstances. You also get representation in court up to £25,000 in a worst case scenario. It covers you in any car you are driving and you can buy it on its own or as an extra to your motor insurance policy through Adrian Flux.
You may have read similar stories in the papers where celebrities and sportsmen were able to successfully contest certain motoring offences, this is no longer a service just for the rich and famous.
Regards

Hi All
Just a quick update, last year got her insured with Hastings Direct fully comp / NCD protected and windscreen covered. got the usual letter when the insurance is due, you know the one "You don't have to do anything, your cover will automatically re-new" blah blah... I cant remember the cost last year, but it was around the £500 + mark, any way the new quote £900 + !
As I do every year, I did the 'go compare' / 'compare the market' thing and Hastings Direct (figure that out?) came out best at £732 I went and had a look at Adrian Flux and got a quote, which I have just accepted if I paid up front it would have been £530 (I pay monthly) so its just over £600

By not declaring none std vehicle modifications to get cheap insurance then expecting to be paid for any accident damage. Either that? or I wasted my time and money insuring my Subaru with Adrian Flux and should have chanced just insuring it with any old company as a std vehicle and saved money.
Hi,
Anything you do to your vehicle should be declared to your insurer, and most UK insurers will require a certificate of installation for LPG conversions. However, we look at this on a case-by-case basis.
