Insurance, they're not all bad.

So, my insurance renewal is due on the 28th Feb. I'm currently with AA insurance. They write to me with a surprisingly reasonable quotation, however I'm about to change cars.

I phone up this morning and give them the details of the new vehicle and ask if they can do anything. To their credit, they run through the quote, go off and talk to a manager and finally return within "if it keeps your business, we'll offer you the same quote as we currently do on the mini".

To my amazement, after running a few compare the s**t checks etc, this is considerably cheaper than others. So are we back in a situation with loyalty is once again being rewarded? Like the good old days?

What is the new vehicle?

Plus one.

It's got 6 cylinders and belonged to a Knight on here.

Plus one.

It took me a few seconds to work out you meant you also wanted to know, and not that he has bought a Mini Plus One.

I equally hope you have and hope you haven't bought a Boxster GTS in red?

Oooh Kitt was cool. You know if your new car isn't Kitt it's now not worth mentioning. ?

I had a similar experience. I renewed my insurance in Janurary and I had the renewal come through and it was almost 1k. I rang them to cancel and they matched the cheaper quotes I had give or take a few pounds and it was almost halfed. Sadly due to my postcode, despite having 9 years NCB and driving a Honda Civic diesel it's still £600...

Anyone Who just pays the renewal figure with out trying to get a cheaper quote must be a proper dummy!
I have never paid a renewal figure in my life! it's always easy to get it cheaper elsewhere or to stay there get them to reduce it.
