Are any insurers reasonable when it comes to changing car mid-policy?

[Ads_172]

As the title, does anyone know of an insurer that doesn't bend over someone who decides to change car mid-policy?

I had to pay extra to move from a 172 Cup to the Bora when I changed before and I'd rather not do that again this year when I change cars...

brentacre dont charge admin fees for changes, so you just pay, or get back, the change in premium.

Are the changes in premium genuinely reflective of the alternative insurance groups? When I changed to the Bora I was told there was no admin fee but the policy was more expensive as the Cup was on a "special deal" which they couldn't honour...

Depends when you change tbh. normally if the car is a lower group it will either drop a little, or not at all if near the end of the policy.

Some companies try and take the piss.
When i got my 197 i was just under 1 month into my policy on my 1.2, which cost me £900 for the year.

When i rang up to change over the car he said it would be £1500 on top of what i was already paying.... so £2400!!

So i immediately said no and that i was going to cancel. £50 admin fee for canceling, and i took out a new quote of £1681

Old company was Admiral and the new company is Elephant, which i find strange seeing as they're the same company
