smokinv8 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Had a letter arrive from Frank Pickles yesterday telling me they are no longer transacting 4x4 insurance wishing to concentrate on their core business and to find myself a new insurer before my policy lapses. Any others on here insured with them had better get searching for a new quote like me. I hate dealing with insurance companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yes, this was mentioned a little while ago. I'm pretty sure Adrian Flux have taken on Pickles' 4x4 business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Typical, knew I'd post something that others had already discussed. Must of missed it myself Mods: delete this thread if the topics already covered please. Thanks Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I understood that they were no longer taking on new customers for 4x4 insurance, but they would continue to cover existing customers. If they are terminating existing policies at renewwal, then that is a development.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I thought that refusing to renew was a breach of contract, though of course they can simply price you into cancelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must of missed it myself Mods: delete this thread if the topics already covered please. Thanks Neil This has been mentioned here and there but I don't recall the subject having a thread dedicated to it. It's important for those insured with FP so think you've done well highlighting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Bugger! FP are the only insurers I've ever really trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Guys, you must of missread me. FP are still honouring existing policies but not renewing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 That figures then. I went to get a quote from FP when I renewed the 90 this year. Their advertised phone number was redirected to Flux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well I had my renewal through from Frank Pickles at the weekend for the Disco on 1st December at £148.00 fully comp with mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks for the reminder, I wondered why I hadn't heard from them, turns out my policy has expired and they wont re-new. Got a new policy now with Adrian Flux, its a bit more pricey but from what i gather (not got the fine print yet) but its a bit more flexible then the one I had previously, so I'm not too put out. This is the 2nd year in a row this has happend to me, Footman James did the same the year before...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Mav, do u mean Footman James aren't doing 4x4 now? As they were to be my next call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Ok Now I am confused If you are currently insured with / through FP, does this mean on expiry "Yer on yer own M8" or that you get you renewal via Adrain Flux at their rate etc as an ongoing insurance ? or does FP say" as you are with us we keep you but no new policyholders ??"
