Insurance Company warning

Featured Replies

Hope im posting this in the right place....

i had a remap done recently :D after asking the insurance if they'd insure me with it on...they gave me the :thumbup: so off i toddled to Jabba :D

Came home...wanting to keep it all legal...rang the insurance company PERFORMANCE DIRECT and said had my remap done now can u add it to my policy...cheers....

Only to hear them say sorry but we cant insure u with a remap...so i said 'WHAT :mad:' so they passed me through several people....only for them to say 'when did u phone, we'll have a look through our phone call record' (where they can listen to calls from previous days) so they came back and said 'oh we cant find that phone call' so i said ':eek::mad::finger::mad:' and lots of other choice words!

I asked the guy on the phone do u insure any car with a remap or chip...'No' he said!!! WTF :cool: performance insurance my ass, so i said 'Why was i told by one of ur operators i could insure my car with a remap' so he said 'well we cant prove that, as we cant find that conversation' :mad: conveniently! Basically he told me to cancel the policy as they wouldnt insure me...

I would just like to warn all u guys of the dirty tricks insurance companies get upto....Most of us know that insurance companies are a bunch of tw*ts most of the time....and this is the second time i've been screwed by 2 different b*stards :mad:...MAKE SURE U GET IT IN WRITING...i will get everything in writing after this dirty trick.

Obviously i would have thought about not doing the remap til i found an company that would cover it.

Oh and, dont use these bunch of ****ers...

use Adrian Flux instead...thats who im with as of today for the same price as performance direct with my remap declared...:thumbup::)

That doesn't sound good. Need to call mine actually...

I insured mine with the tune before I got it done just incase. After a month or so I got it tuned by jabba.

I've been with Adrian Flux for a good few years now, but they let me down with the Fabia. I rang them up to enquire about changing from my Megane Coupe to the vRS. They said that the company they have me with currently wouldn't quote me for the Fabia 'Due to the performance of the vehicle'. I'm changing to a car that's 4 insurance groups lower, and 20 BHP less than my current one! Anyway, they got me a quote through someone else, but they wanted a

Always get everything written with insurance compnies. Oral contact ain't good with them...and yes I know some of you are probably snickering at what i just said...

can you people tell me how this compairs to your premiums?!

Im paying 950 for my octavia vrs, with all mods declared and for business use as well. not too bad i dont think.

Chris Knott saved me

On a similar note, when I was with Direct Line the policy documents said I was not covered to drive on an airfield. Now bearing in mind I work on a airfield and there's a 6 mile perimiter road I drive on and ould crash on I phoned and asked if this was OK. They said it was and I asked for confirmation in writing.

They wrote to me and said I was not covered if I crashed on an airfield.

I wrote and said I work on an airfield etc. etc....

They wrote back and said I wasnt covered, read policy documents etc...

I moved insurance companies :D

You've got to remember that these people aim to pay out as few claims as possible and will try anything they can to make this so.
