Insurance rip offs
pilgrim:
Got my renewal throught the post yesterday from Admiral - £890 (up from £850 last year). I thought it was a bit steep so went on confused.com to see if I could get it cheaper anywhere else. Lowest quote that came back was £630 ... from Admiral!
A quick call to them and they agreed to match their internet quotation as long as all details of the cover where the same - as it was the same policy, they matched up and I've got the lower quote.
To think that I nearly just paid the renewal amount!

Tis a regular trick. They lure you in with a good initial price and it gradually (sometimes not very gradually) creeps up.

Have a good shop around, check other threads about htis problem, I had a quote for 850 on a meriva with no no claims being an extra car, after shopping round I payed around 300, there are various companies that specialise in 4x4, if that is waht you were insuring
But for the car I went through hyperformance, they even quoted me 25quid cheaper on my disco so when it runs out in sept there is going to be a price war with a couple on insurance companies :wink:

Am happy with £630 - I've got too many points on my licence, and no off street parking so that combined with a Leeds post code means that I have no choice but to pay through the nose - add onto that that it's a sports car and SWMBO has only been driving for a year and £630 looks like a bargain.
I just don't like the fact that they tried to fleece me for another £260! Makes you realise that you have to double check everything!
