Title: Howden (Formerly A-Plan and Cherished Vehicle) Insurance
Post by: Carlie@Howden on May 25, 2017, 04:51:54 PM
Hi guys, you may have noticed quite a big difference with my details, links and banners.

I want to let you all know, this is a GOOD thing! Last year A-Plan Insurance purchased Cherished Vehicle Insurance, we have taken on the business here in our Thatcham office.

All this means for you is that we have access to more schemes, so better premiums and we have a central telephone number so you won't get lost in the branch network system.

Nothing else changes, for the last few months all of our paperwork has been dual branded and that will continue.

We are still the same team, still the same office, still the same relationship with the club!

You can still call us on 01635 874646 if you wish  :)

If you have any queries regarding this please feel free to PM me.

Thanks

Clare

Just done my "renewal" with A-plan so hope I'm in the draw for the Month! Just remember who started the A-plan recommendation for the buggies and a certain VW club in my area  ;) ;D ;D ;D


Though that said... what would I do with European breakdown cover???? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Seriously, was offered insurance by another well know broker at a few quid less BUT the quality of service you get from Clare and the team is second to none!  ;-)up

Just bought some insurance off these lot hassle free on the phone for 20 minutes as compared to Lancaster telling me they couldn't insure me or it would be a kit car insurance wanted something like £500 as can imagine in this heat 45 minutes in this heat and being on hold I was not impressed. Lovely lass on the other end of the phone as well.

Thanks.

got to say James did a good job after a £304 renewal quote for the Tiguan and me bouncing back a big saving from another provider he sorted out £198.33 fully comp with courtesy car, protected no claims with no voluntary excess and 11000 miles a year  so I renewed with them. 

Only thing I missed was the CLW1117 prize draw entry as I came here after the event but still I am £106 better off so no complaint.

I have been trying to find somewhere that could enable me to have one insurance policy
for both my cars, my Manx and my 1972 Beetle, I can only drive one or the other
and this would be really nice to do if possible, could A Plan - Cherished Vehicle Insurance tell me if they do something like this.

Thanks, Peter

Yes, I have heard from Ross, Thank You, could have done with a few more 'miles' allowance
but its fine and the quote was ok.

You were at Autosport International... That's interesting, did you have a look at the Quaife stand ?

Just a quick reminder that not only do we have specialist schemes for your beach buggy and modified vehicles we also offer much more for you too such as Track day cover, home and landlords

And as always, I'm here if you need me   8)

Firstly... no I'm not back just yet  >:( but don't you worry! I'll be back in the office from January  ;-)up

Secondly... Winter is coming! ...well, it's basically here and the fight for "can we have the heating on?" has begun!

Is your Buggy snuggled up under a blanket in the garage? Don't just go uninsured for the worse weather months!
Here in the Thatcham branch of A-Plan we have specialist policies in place for laid-up cover which has no road risk for such good rates and forum members get club discounts included as well  :D

Do you know what else we do whilst on the subject of heating? Home insurance!
Not only do you get specialist rates on vehicle insurance (Car, Van, Bike...) but you also get discounts on home insurance, buildings cover, contents cover and Landlord policies by being a member of the forum. You'd be mad not to give us a try, a quote doesn't cost anything but some of your time!

Please note as well that it is not necessary for you to have to go uncovered during this time... if you plan to hold off renewal and go through the process of SORNing your vehicle because you don't plan on using it then please consider Laid-Up cover!
Laid-Up cover means you will still be covered for Accidental Damage, Fire and Theft (no road risk) and it is a low-cost insurance option that we have access to with a few of our insurers.

Post by: Dave DND on June 05, 2023, 09:18:17 AM
I would like to give a HUGE thanks to Henry and Carlie, (and their team) who made everyone feel so welcome at the Malvern Kit Car Show with their amazing hospitality and friendliness. Unlike most Insurance Companies that just want your money, these guys really do go the extra distance. Sure, they had a job to do with people queueing up for quotes and stuff, but at every turn we were being offered tea's and Coffee's and even full access to their Beer fridge, which made me chuckle no end as I can now say I have been encouraged to drink and drive by my Insurance provider. Henry even shouted across to me that he had a Bacon Butty there if I wanted one when setting up my car first thing in the morning. They came over for a chat with us in the evening where Carlie made a new best friend, Frank, who was enjoying her cuddles and attention no end. Their Hospitality is just amazing and almost made me feel a little guilty when we nicked their display pitch on the Sunday as it was much bigger that the area we had been given ourselves on the previous day.

Great to catch up guys - hope the show was as good for you as it was for us   ;-)(-;

102 miles is still use and more than many do, met a gent with a Nova he has had since the early 80's it had very few miles on it thinking like 1000 miles

Post by: Doon L001 on June 16, 2023, 10:30:51 PM
Met someone at a show built his GP early 60s Les than 3000 miles since. I do that most years

Says he rarely used it because it won't start after being stood idle all winter, wonder why.

Each to their own but if I drastically reduced mileage I'd avoid numerous break downs/ fixes and save £ and reduce periodic stress.

Yet despite in the last week replacing front shocks, 2 bits of cracked fuel line and a new clutch cable I actually feel better afterwards than before Ie I'm back to 2 functioning buggys and the ability to go out on a whim.
Title: A-Plan .... We're going through changes
Post by: Carlie@Howden on August 08, 2023, 01:54:53 PM
Hi All

Just a quick note to say A-Plan is taking on it's parent brand on 1st October. Nothing changes for you or me, it's the same great people and the same great service just a different logo above the door and on your paperwork... I guess I'll get a new shirt too  ;D

As of 1st October A-Plan branding will be replaced with Howden branding  ;-)up Good bye to the big red A!

Carlie,

Seems a shame with all the hard work that you and your colleges have done getting the A-Plan brand name out there as the go to insurance broker for classics, kit and customs.

When will new business cards be available as I give out a few when I can?

We've been part of Howden Broking Group a good 2 years already :) with all the providers in the group, we all become Howden eventually (Aston  Lark, Cherished Vehicle Insurance, RH, Allstyles) meaning we should have a lot more to offer to members in terms of insurance types and scheme benefits... we're really excited in specialist vehicle :D

I'm designing and printing our cards for October so they'll be ready at time of change hopefully - pop me an email with best address and I'll get some sent out to you when they arrive  ;-)(-; carlie.norwell@aplan.co.uk

Sadly, yet again, Howden disappointed me this year.  I spoke to them at the Kit Car show (last year) and was assured they would beat my current company.  When it came to renewal I gave them all the details including the name of the broker and they could not beat Flux.  The quote from Howden was with the same insurer as well.    I know some people dont like Flux , but they have always been ok for me and when its exactly insurer I think Flux must be getting better volume discount. 

Just my personal experience and not disrespecting Howden.

That's a shame to hear  :'( as much as we'd love to... we can't win them all. Always worth trying at each renewal though
