I know what @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO is eluding to but I am not rising to it 🙂 I've heard 🤣 But just so you know... our Breakdown cover is top notch 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 4 hours ago, cast iron said: hate to be making a claim. One of our lads had to Claim recently with A-plan and he was amazed at just how good they were when it counted - another had policy changes to make and again nothing but praise. I must admit, A. Flux dealt with my claim several years ago and all was good. Reality is you only really know when the worst happens - cheapest may not be the best. The problem any “these guys are great/terrible” post is that so much will depend on your own experience and let’s face it, with insurance a lot will depend entirely on the individual getting a quote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan France Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Another plus for A Plan. Same price for third year running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyBrad Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I paid £165 with Adrian Flux (full comp, 3000 miles garaged, 50+, clean licence, two previous claims), it was cheaper than A-Plan. Maybe location had something to do with it, and the big camper with them too - though the camper was dearer with A-plan also. The fully comp, value agreed, 2000mile/yr insurance on the classic car I used to keep in NZ up until three years ago cost NZ$74 (£38)!

The main thing is you tried us 😁 sad to hear we weren't competitive for you though... Try us again next time around, hopefully we can do better for you 👍 Carlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXRORY Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Wanted to stay this year with A plan but the track day cover that I was interested in was more reasonable with AF 5 trackday's 500 blanket xs on the policy 2000 miles. £220 thought that was decent, will do Agreed value for a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try us again next year as we do the bulk 5 days too. Carlie 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_R Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well yesterday I just insured my third car with A-Plan! The Westfield (3.5L V8) is going into storage for a while and A-Plan were able to provide a policy for this despite it being away from my residence. They gave me a competitive quote for the Cobra (also a 3.5L V8). And finally my brand new Porsche 718 Cayman 2.0L flat 4 with 300bhp (which I picked up tomorrow from the dealer ... and yes @Julie Hall - Peak District AO you're welcome a drive in it!) was given a very competitive quote which beat all those cheap dodgy policies on compare the insurance type comparison sites. Very impressed with the service so far and when the Range Rover comes up for renewal I'll also be contacting them ... although with four cars being insured I'd expect a very nice discount, some fine wine and a burger at Stoneleigh @A-Plan Insurance THATCHAM 🤣 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cast iron Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I rang the number on the website went through what I was looking for then I was re directed to the northern office in Oxford, where I had to go through the details again. I'm still actually waiting for the chap I was dealing with to ring back about no claims bonus and an actual quote, its only been 2 months, of lost business, of which Hastings direct now have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the generic aplan website redirects you to your most local branch as it has location built in - we now use www.aplanspecialist.co.uk which only goes to us in Thatcham - I would however like to take a look at your quote to see why it wasn't put through to ourselves and hopefully pop a diary in for our team to call you as it pops up for renewal next year if that's ok? Sorry about the inconvenience this time around. If you can PM me your name and registration or post code I'll be able to find you on our system.
