I couldn't get a good deal for my new motor, as I have bought a Merc ML350. So I went to cancel the Pajero insurance with Adrian Flux. Bearing in mind that I only renewed it on 17th June THIS year. I paid £286 for comp.

My refund offer was £40 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS!

They said that the breakdown cover £60 was non refundable, fair enough.
They have to keep their commission of £15 and a £30 fee, fair enough.

BUT the insurance company is keeping over £140 !!!!!  What for 2 months and a bit cover? That is taking the P!ss. Is this normal practice?

AF then upped their offer to £59.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your reply.

That didn't help, but they upped the refund from £40 to £59, still leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Apparently it was the insurance company Trinity Land that with help 70% for the 7 weeks cover I had with them.

I sold my 2.8 six months before the insurance expired - but I paid my premiums monthly so they just closed it down but  didn't ask for any extra money.

I feel like I have been mugged, policy was only 7 weeks old.

Why didn't you switch vehicles on the existing policy? Wouldn't it have been more cost effective?

Yes I did try that, and they wanted another £274 on top of the £268 I had already paid 7 weeks earlier. I got better cover from Hasting Direct at around £360.
