Driver shocked by £45,000 car insurance quote despite “unbeatable value for money” offer
Are you a car owner who has ever been shocked by a car insurance quote? Well, you’re not alone. One driver recently took to Reddit to share their jaw-dropping experience of being slapped with a massive £45,000 car insurance quote, despite being promised “unbeatable value for money” by the insurer.
The driver, who was trying to insure their Porsche Cayman, shared a screenshot of the eye-watering quote from a major insurer, totaling a staggering £45,609.43. The Reddit post quickly garnered attention, with fellow car enthusiasts expressing their disbelief and amusement at the astronomical figure.
One Reddit user shared their own experience of insuring a Cayman, revealing that they paid just £450 for their insurance at the age of 25. Another joked that they were considering switching their dream car to a Fiat Doblo after hearing about the exorbitant quote. The thread was filled with witty remarks and sarcastic comments about the absurdity of the situation.
Some users speculated about the driver’s driving history and location, with one questioning how long they had been driving and another suggesting that the insurance broker, Adrian Flux, was notorious for high premiums. Adrian Flux, founded in 1973, is known for specializing in motor insurance and has grown to become the largest specialist motor insurance broker in the country.
The Reddit thread highlighted the frustration and confusion that many drivers face when dealing with insurance companies. Some users expressed their disbelief at the lack of transparency and fairness in the insurance industry, calling for more honesty and clarity in the quoting process.
In the end, one user recommended seeking out a private clients broker for better luck in finding a more reasonable quote. The story serves as a cautionary tale for car owners to always shop around and compare quotes before committing to a policy, as you never know when you might be hit with a shockingly high premium.
