They market themselves as the best insurer for performance cars/modified cars, but plain old Admiral walk all over them.
I've heard nothing but bad stuff abotu A Flux when it comes to making a claim too. Admiral on the other hand dealt with my claim at the beginning of the year really well. Even though they couldn't get the other party to admit blame, they let me keep my NCB and refunded me my excess!!
When it came to insuring my E55 I went straight to admiral and didnt even bother checking elsewhere. £1k to insure a 500bhp car when I'm not even 30 yet and have only been driving 2 years is a bargain in my books.
If I were A Flux I'd try and get Admiral (or whoever the company is behind the scenes) on-board as one of their underwriters, because at the moment their prices are a total joke.

Voodoo Vix Bell is one of their's too but I find admiral the cheapest of the three. Quotes from money supermarket are also cheaper than quotes from compare the market and confused.com
Not always Vix. For you, on your car, maybe, but there are too many variables to generalise! Confused gave better quotes for me, though they all told be £5k plus or refused to quote when I added "Supercharged" to the mods list. Calling insurers direct can help a lot, and I got it down to about £800 Fully Comp in the end, mods and bans declared! (1st Central) But I'd never recommend A Flux, they may advertise as being good for young drivers and/or modified cars, but in my experiences they have been quite to opposite!

And everyone will have had a different experiance with companies, flux where the cheapest for me and I've had bad dealings with elephant so wouldn't go with them again.
Where others differ, your best bet is get as many qoutes as you can

There's so many factors to take into account its hard to say what's best.

I paid just under £1000 for my last years insurance as an under 21 with 1 year NCB.
Having my mum on there dropped it by nearly £400!
Thankfully it will drop another level next time as I've become 21 since then

15-10-2018, 06:03 AM #18My advice is whoever you're with, get an experienced woman on there, girlfriend, wife, mum etc. Even if you never plan on letting them drive the car (maybe don't even tell them you've insured them so they're not tempted. lol)
