Also, the up to 15% discount is a joke, has anyone ever actually got 15% discount 
I used to love to catch them out. Don't tell them you are a club member until the end.

They wont which is why I'm not happy.
I nearly choked when they said £1800. I said I had a lower qoute and all I get is an extra £80 back once I send proof that I got it insured for that.
Seriously they dont want to offer me a low qoute, they want to keep that money I've paid them.

If Adrian Flux are so bad why does this site promote them?
Had I not seen the advert I would be with elephant paying an extra £50 a year, but I bet canceling wouldnt of been so painful.
In certain cases they have saved people money - in the range of a few hundred pounds in many cases.
Where this has happened, and people have not had to claim or end the policy early, Flux have been a suitable insurer.
Aside from offering the occasional cheap deal for people without special requirements, they don't appear to be competitive in other areas. For example they will not insure my Corsa because in conjunction with it being a high risk car, I have a Liverpool postcode.
They are not the best in all areas. The arrangement exists to discount in a limited number of cases.
While I appreciate that the refund appears to be disproportionately small, you will probably find that this is outlined in your policy documentation which you would have had to accept when you took out the policy. I'm quite sure that Flux will entertain written negotiation, in which you're welcome to mention a recommendation in good faith through here.
While you have bought on price alone, Flux have come out best. Had you have considered your requirement to change a car, and perhaps run this by Flux when you took out the policy, they may have advised that your current underwriter would not insure a CTR and that for this, Flux would not be the most appropriate choice.
Changing cars mid policy is never easy. I've done it in the past and lost thousands in cancellation charges and lost NCB, which is why I tend to keep my cars a bit longer now or at least time the change a bit better. Perhaps something to bear in mind in the future.

I was with liverpool victoria they are good, but i got one years free insurance with the new car and now deciding to stay with vauxhall as getting 70% off cos i have 4 years no claims. Other insurers were quoting me just under a grand and vauxhall say if i stay they it will only be £600 pounds bargain

I'm sorry but people need to start getting quotes for a new car and checking their policy small print a little bit more.
You can't expect to sell your car then then hope your current insurance company will be the best quote and give you 1) either the full amount of months paid for back or 2) be the cheapest and quote you for an upgrade of your policy.
Maybe checking this out before selling the a car would be a good start...

WHY DO YOU NOT GET 8 MONTHS MONEY BACK!?!? LEGALLY THEY HAVE TOO.
Can anyone confirm this because I disputed it but got told I wouldnt get the full amount back  Lot of money to lose
Hmm Adrian sucks did this exact same tyhing to me 3 years ago.
It does say in there terms and conditions that they can and will charge an administartion fee for early cancellation.
However.....
They are legally obliged to give you the terms and conditions before the contract is made. Once money has changed hands the contract is deemed to have been made.
So... by writing there t and c on the back of the policy they are not giving you them until after you have paid and hence after the deal has been done.
I wrote to them and politely pointed this out and asked for x amount back, which i duly received.
Where x was a value along the lines of, if i had paid 1000 for the year and been insured for 6 months i asked for £500 back, and got it!

i had no problems when i changed my flux insurance from the corsa to my 206 gti...
... why didn't you try and see what the difference in insurance was before you sold the corsa and got the new car?

It depends on the underwriters i think, flux is a broker. I am currently being shafted by them because i payed up in full then sold the car and they wont swop it over.
