What has the Admiral issue been? I have only spoken to them on renewals so can not comment on their accident processing. Once you get a Scottish call centre, they seem to know what they are doing. I put the phone down when I get switched through to India though as that is too painful an experience.

Finalised my insurance quotes and having a long talk to 1st central with an even longer wait on the phone. I was given a fairly good price, however warning bells started after not receiving a confirmation email. When I spoke to a rep over the phone I had to restart the quote because their system lost the initial one. I asked rep to forward the quote by email so I could make an intelligent decision, was told the company doesn't do that. But I would receive my policy through email should I take the opportunity. How could I trust that system if they lost the quote in the first place? I was concerned that if I didn't receive anything to prove insurance then that hold road fund license which ultimately stops the car being collected. Treat this company with caution.

Adrian flux staff are to hard selling wouldn't give me time too decide even though they were too high priced, they wanted nearly £400 per annum plus £700 excess for a claim.

Although when I first requested a quote through Chris knots they gave me a figure I wasn't happy with. After a lot of confirmation they agreed a sum £300 fully comprehensive with a total £300 excess. Well done Chris knotts

I've decided - after a lot of buggering around and ummming and ahhhhing - just to stay with CK. I have mods declared on mine currently, and if I don't declare them on another policy I wonder if that could come back to bite me... I read the reviews of quite a lot of the cheaper - and not so cheap - companies, and decided better the (raping) devil you know...

You should be able to find their data protection policy on their site.
