Yes we do own HIC, but we don’t exactly keep it a secret – I’ve mentioned them several times on this blog, and news about Herts is published here too. I also post to the Herts blog.

There are limits to how far we can interlink between the sites without it looking like we’re trying to spam the search engines.

It’s perhaps worth pointing out that as HIC is run as an entirely separate entity and have their own relationships with underwriters, they have access to different schemes than we do – so if you want a classic or modified car quote, it’s well worth giving both companies a ring – Flux on 08000 83 88 33 and HIC on 08451 291 291. This may not be the case when an insurer buys a broker – there will probably be pressure to pick that company’s scheme over others that might be available, with the result that the customer’s interests are sidelined.

I’ve got no problem with any of these insurers owning as many companies as they like, but for one of those companies to launch a nationwide TV campaign on the back of the ownership of a competitor is a little bit rich.
