Time for my insurance rant!

[DrR]

ok was
clio 172
1 years NCB
£600 a year

Now
my renue price comes up as

Clio 182
2years NCB
£749 WTF

Same company everything, they only changed me £20ish when i changed over to my 182 to!

Hmmm maybe if i insure the 172 again then change it to the 182 the day after.....

tell them you've had a better quote elsewhere and then they will drop it. Insurance company's are like mobile telephone one's they will have your pants down yet hit them with a competitor and they buckle and match it!

Go elsewhere man. Whose the quote with & how old are you ?

 

[miltage2]

if they have a website, do a like for like quote as a new customer and get your quote ref and they will match the online price quoted. Works every-time for me with admiral. elephant etc

^ yep that worked for me too when I was with them (elephant) The difference was amazing, sometimes it was over £300 ! Jokers !

^ lol, no it's not, it's called "insurance companies hoping that you will just accept the renewal quote"

Yus. If you're with elephant play the elephant - bell game... change between company each year and they'll get cheaper and cheaper, despite being the same company.

I did that this year, saved myself £100.

Well worth calling them up, they rely on folk being lazy & just accepting their renewal quote.

i may sound dumb but can some one explain this in more depth please?

sorry for invading your thread aswell, rollo

Right, say they send you a renewal quote of say £900
Go on their site as a new customer, copy the details down (identically to your policy) and it'll be less - get the reference number, call them up & ask them to match it.

It's worth noting that with elephant if you put your correct nmae & dob in if you have a policy with them, they'll clock it.

What I used to do was put say my dads name in & a dob a few days before my own one.

Rather than accept their renewal quote, fill in the new customer form on their website.

Will give you an online quote which is usually a fair bit cheaper than what theyre quoting you for renewal! Ring them up and they should honour this.
