Refused renewal insurance - but why?

[jonathanedew]

I have been insured with Greenlight for the last year. My renewal is due next month.
Today I received a letter stating that they are no longer willing to insure my vehicle (172 chipped/lowered/mod exhaust/filter) for a further year. I am 55 yr old with 9+ years NCB.
No explanation is given.
I haven't made any claims, nor declared any new convictions.
Has there been a policy change within this company?
Any other ideas why they would refuse to offer a renewal?
Thanks
Jon

Strange one, I rang up the other day and they quoted me on my 172. Very uncompetitive quote though.

Guess I'll call them tomorrow... and start looking around :dapprove:

My renewal has just come through and they cant be beaten by any other company i have contacted as of yet.

as above, brentacre will see you right.

you should ask Greenlight...

It is not uncommon for an underwriter to withdraw a rate from a broker if the particular vehicle is not performing well, eg lots of claims. My company see new brokers coming along on a regular basis, blowing everyones prices out of the water for a few months until they get some claims, then all of a sudden they cannot insure the car any longer.

So what your saying is, we need to find the broker whose blowing everyone else out the water at the moment?

I've called Greenlight and they simply said there's 'been a problem' with my insurance. I asked to speak with a Manager, but he was on the phone. I was promised a call right back... that was 2 hrs ago :dapprove:
I've now renewed with Brentacre :approve:
I'm guessing that skyinsurance's assumption above is correct, though why Greenlight didn't seem fit to offer an alternative company I don't know?
Thanks all.

similar thing happened to my parents ( http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=479113 )

they no longer could get insured....no real reason

nearly 60 full NCB and on a C4

no real reason was given to my parents expect 'they could not insure them'

the above thread might make you understand why

strange one for sure. I've just recieved my greenlight renewal through with no issues. Do you think it was due to the mods?

Do Greenlight still not insure 172 Cups?

I was forced to another broker (HIC) because I was told their main insurer (Highway) had refused due high losses on the car.

Must be a Greenlight decision as HIC immediatly offered (and still do) cover from Highway :S

Yeh I've just renewed with greenlight too ... 2005 182, 5yrs ncb, coilovers, yozza exhaust and turinis and I'm 29.

Seems really strange as you'd think being a broker they'd be able to offer you an alternative.

Least you've got it sorted now tho with someone else

Maybe it's just 172 rather than 182's? Technicality I know. Just rang up to tell them about my exhaust. No extra cost on my renewal. SOLD!!!
