Free plug for "The Insurance Factory"

[Thrust]

No need to say more really.

I was with a famous company that saturates the airwaves and they started upping the premiums, and then when I wanted to change cars they started insisting on a tracker, and so I agreed to fit one, then they asked me if it was an import and I said yes; they said it wasn't listed as such, just a high performance sports car, so I said, OK whatever; they suddenly announced right at the very end that it was an import and so, sorry, they couldn't insure it. To hell with that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..................

I shopped around using ads in a certain Mxx Pxxxxx mag and discovered "The Insurance Factory". The bloke Brendan was human! I actually enjoyed the whole interview. (Many of the people in the office there are on the Scooby forum, apparently.) It was simple, cheap and straightforward, and I closed the deal.

The above is the impressions of my initial contact with them, and my own opinion, but hey, credit where it's due. I told the bloke I would be posting a plug for them on here.

Jase, you're in the ball park.

My own insurance company was still giving me grief, so I phoned the Factory again to see if they would insure the family Scoobie-do with named drivers. 740 GBP with the mainline outfit, but 200 quid less with these above people. Even so, the Subaru was more expensive than the Skyline...

I do have 2 sets of 9 years no-claims bonuses, though... and I asked for max excess. I have to pay the first 750 in an accident or 500 for malicious damage.

When I reminded them that I was the bloke with the Skyline who was giving them a free plug here, the guy laughed and said they actually got a new customer recently from this particular thread!!!
