As said, PM Ollie, his username on here is Skyinsurance. If you give him your phone number and a quick details he should be able to organize a callback for you.

Don't forget to let the person on the phone know you're a member of PNG, as they'll apply a club member discount to the quote.

flux are garbage with diesels,they wanted an extra 500 off me swapping from a 1800 astra sri-astra 1300cdti?!!

[novacabrio]

Standard car? Try confused etc. If you are with Flux at the moment then surely what ever price you get else where they will guarentee to beat the price given else where? They always have for me!

30 yr old with loads of NCB on the Black XE Nova all mods declared is only £240 due to them bettering the prices.

[Jack]

^ thats not unusual tbh, mid-term policy changes quite often do attract a hefty increase as they know most people won't want to lose a years NCB!

£90 cancel fee or an extra £500 hmmmmm:tard: lol and it was only a month into our 2nd year with them

[Southie]

Depends on your postcode in my case because I'm in a high risk area Sky won't touch me so I'm still with Flux after 6 years.

[Spudly]

Ive been with sky for going on two years now and couldnt be happier, staff are really good to talk to and happy to help whenever you speak to them which is refreshing:thumb:

Hopefully ill never have to find out what theyre like when it comes to having to claim though lol

[Lee H]

I'm with Flux on two of my cars and have been for over 10 years now on and off. I've always found customer service good and never had the problems with paperwork some people seem to have.

Sky won't insure my postcode and even if they did they don't do agreed value so no use to me. Suppose agreed value isn't so important on a newish standard car though tbf.

They are fantastic! Just my local assessors are dicks lol.


Sky have been great with all my silly questions/rants etc. Currently need to buy Richard a pint I think lol

+1 never ever had a problem with the, i have my van insured with now and was £400 cheaper than anyone else. Plus there only 5 mins down the road which is a bonus :thumb:

[Novasport]

Sky are all good as far as I'm concerned, no probs so far.
Flux are a bunch of cowboys IMO, they Fluxed up(You like what i did there lol) the first time and I was talked into coming back as they had changed. Guess what, they Fluxed up again, will not get my business EVER again!

[Ben]

With your standard car i would do as Mark said, Sky couldnt get within £300 on my 2008 Astra CDTi!

[Paul]

Sky have just come up trumps for me again...

[Dan]

first year great, Ollie is a star and sorted me out a reasonable price, renewal is no good though so at this point i shall be cancelling once i have completed ringing around, saved over 70 quid already and havent even started. Its a shame as i hate dicking around but thats the name of the game when it comes to insuring bog standard work hacks

I will say however that i have no problems with them in the slightest and I will always give them first chance

Hi Dan,

thanks for the kind words.. as you probably know insurance rates are up across the board so almost everyone will see an increase on renewal. Having said that you may find companies who will quote you less than our renewal price, if this is the case please make sure you speak to my renewals team before changing companies.

Thanks

I do hate this about insurance, "we have gave you the best price" but you get a better one then they say oh ok we will match it, thought you had already given me the best price :wtf:

I know its not just sky and all companies do it, just really annoying and wastes a day of your life ringing around!

[skyinsurance]

I know its not just sky and all companies do it, just really annoying and wastes a day of your life ringing around!

Frustrating but all companies do it, I shop around every year, I actually quite enjoy the challange and it gives me an insight into how our competitors work.

In fairness to Sky, the prices come directly from our underwriters, as we have a lot of buying power we have negotiated a price match service on renewal with our specialist underwriters,

Ollie

[MK999]

Easy for the underwriters to play games with prices when they're hiding behind a brokers name I guess.

The entire industry could do with looking at tbh, I much prefer the european system where a car is insured, not the person, ok it means scrapping no claims bonus and premiums when you're older are just as expensive as always, but I wouldn't mind paying a midrange price for it when I'm settled/earning if it's always been that much, means no issues with "drive other cars" and just works a whole lot better imo.

Only issue is fast cars get cheaper for new drivers, so more youngsters in overpowered machinery, but it will still be more expensive than a slower car and if they have the money/finance/mum and dad to pay for it anyway they're gonna end up in that car.

The "*tap, crunch* ooh I think I've got whiplash/a bruise/3 fractures and need compensation as my cat is distressed that I'm hobbling on my broken ankle wink wink and they're not gonna argue because the court costs to prove it all are more expensive than the £10k im asking for it" needs to be killed off too.

Insurance practices/prices are getting ridiculous!

/rant over

Back on topic :p

HIC were awful with me, their renewal on the nova TD was something like £1300 with 2yrs ncb, 22, license for 2 years. Best thing was I didn't actually have that 2yrs ncb as I had a claim with me at fault going through with them at the time.

That wouldn't work over here tbh, why should I pay the same as Barry McChav to insure my GT4 when I'm less likely to spin it into a ditch at 180mph upside down whilst on fire?

[Stuart]

Yankee style is good in a way as you kinda 'gamble' the value of the car as the main guide for the policy, so if you have a mundane car full of £100K of stereo you can either pay the ins for a value of £100K or you could say £1 and get it cheaper..... but should you lose the lot you only get the quid back. It means no need to declare mods, you just take the gamble with your payout. Which in turn 'should' mean more of the unsalubrious insure their cars as they can fo cheaps.

And the punishment for no insurance should be thousands of hours community service/MASSIVE fine/Legs broken etc. That would be a good deterrant rather than just a slap on the writs and a fine that is less than the insurance would have been

[dj_wudgey]

ive been wanting to see how cheap i could insure my sr with sky as it didnt go down at all this year i havent got any more points or anything like that!! im fully comprihensive and have windows coverd and breakdown recovery so would want the same cover! adrian flux have been good for me but they havent took any off my insurace and i know i can insure it cheaper!!

[Dan]

well my day is done following my original post above. First off a big thanks to sky insurance yet again. I am aware of the general price increase so that is always taken on board every year when it comes renewal time. Sky's customer service has done them proud yet again, I have just spoken to Cassy (very nice lady) and as good to Ollie's word a price was sorted that i am happy with, so thank you very much and thanks for Ollie's continued support/input of which, as proven again, is very helpful :thumb: :thumb:

Lol good job its not a video phone or she mightve thought he wanted to eat her lol

lol spud!! well when my renewal is due ill be giving sky a ring!!

[Hoochie]

Just rang Sky.....got a quote for £130 cheaper with discount than what i'm currently paying!!:)

[halfpint]

We have been shopping around for my son, chris knotss £7000.00 Collingwood £690.00 as long as the car is in the parents name. He's 19 in july 2011. He has 3 Years no claims on his moped but they are happy to give him 1 years. Wonder if sky can beat that when he turns 18 and if they will take into account his 3 years no claims on his ped. He has only 1 conviction which was his l plate on the rear of his ped was stolen when he was in town he hadnt realized it, when he was on way back home, but the copper gave him 3 points and a £60.00 fine for it. Copper musta had a bad day.
I will be calling sky in May when mine is due. ollie probably already knows that throught he rebels. He's a really nice chap.
Flux - well the quote i was given for my ickle car was twice as much as i pay at mo.
