Question Adrian Flux Advert on Scoobynet

Why ?

Last three years that I have had quotes from A Flux were more than twice as much as I am paying at the moment despite being previously insured with them on an import Supra for a very reasonable figure.

I have full no claims bonus and am 35 with car on driveway in a reasonable postcode area.

It was clear that they did not want to insure Impreza's so why is there an advert on this site ?

Confused.

What is a full NCD? 5+ years? I have seen some quote sites listing up to 9 years but my renewal only says 5+ and I can't remember how many years I have really been claim free - probably 7 or 8 I think! Is 5 years the max?

Terrible quotes from Adrian Flux, a performance car specialist!

Yes 5 years is the max which is 70 % (65% depending on company policy), so anything over that and it's still the same amount of discount

I was with Adrian Flux with my modified Rover, so when I got my MY99 UK 2000(only about 6 months ago) I gave them a call first and was told they don't insure Subarus anymore.

Maybe they pay to advertise or are included within a 3rd party advertising system?
I would imagine if they get one client from advertising on here then it would be worth while against the cost of doing a national press or radio ad / tv ad?

Also it is not just Scooby driver who come on here and it spreads the name around.

I got my Scooby insured with them this year, as LV quoted almost a grand for me. I'm over 30 and have 11 years NCD, and wanted limited mileage for the policy. They (LV) don't offer any such policies and wouldn't budge on the quote, which was about £300 more than the year before! So I contacted A Flux, who quoted me a policy, with the limited mileage, at £500ish.

Subsequently told LV to sod off. The advisor I spoke with at A Flux said they'd only just started to take on policies for Scoobies again.

Maybe this advert ties in with a policy change then.
