25% off your insurrance!
« on: 23 July 2004, 03:16 »
max power are starting a driving scheme called max driver. it costs ?99 for the basic test and for that you'll get a couple of hours a fortnight and after 3 months take a test. The lessons teach you how to overtake properly (wait for the boost to rise and hold on for that) and other methods to make you drive safer on the roads.

once you've passed if you go with Adrian Flux insurrance you'll get 25% off!

How for me being 22 with only a year's NCB and the 20v under the bonnet I'm paying a bollock twisting ?1244 comp. That's a saving of ?311 just for taking a ?99 test. Sounds a good idea to me.

Obviously there are a few varibles in there, but for reduced insurrance I'm sure I won't be the only one taking this test. There's also a fast track course for ?199 where you can do the whole thing a lot faster than 3 months.

I've probably got some of the info above slightly wrong as I haven't looked at the site for a couple of days so visit www.max-driver.com for all the info!

I pay about 25% less than what adrian flux quoted me anyway, sounds an excellent idea for people with low/no NCB though !

the '25% off' is no way as simple as that. it will just be used as one extra variable in working out your premium. if adrian flux are the only people to support it, they know they have got you as a customer. not too convinced myself

Whether you get a full 25% off or not it seems like a cheap way of improving your driving.  It seems to be approved by the advanced motoring people.  I'm sure you'd save ?99 in insurance discounts over a couple of years with it.

I'm going to get a quote for my renewable from adrian flux before I take this test. no point in doing it if I won't be saving much money. I'm hoping with another years NCB it will drop a bit.

I have to say that i always got told AF were cheap but i didn find that wen i asked em for a quote :P n if they r the only ones supportin it,as jv said,how do u no its actually worth u shellin out that ?99 cos u cud easily get quoted cheaper off sum where else without that test under ya belt?! only ud be ?99 more down! :-\ imo!
btw AF quoted me ?500 more than wot i ended up payin so not that cheap!  :P

I'm always very sceptical about these "saver" schemes. The premiums are usually very high to start with. I have always found the cheapest insurance is with companies who dont offer any of these. I will normally gewt upto a dozen quotes for my renewal, then get the best 2 or 3 to compete against eahc other for my business. I always and up saving at least a third of my renewal figure by doing this.
I started with figures of over a ?1000 for my cab, then got a couple at ?300 and managed to get one of them down to ?250. Not bad for an hours work on the phone and internet.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Norwich Union was cheap for me ?800ish where AF quote me at ?1200 and i laughed over the phone when i heard that quote.

Thats a 400 difference. So i dont think its gona help, only if it was for all companies then i would do it, But i already know how to ocertake proper.  ;D
