It pays to change...

Mr Bump:
My favourite bit is
"has it been modified in any way?"
and then
"are those all the modifications?"
 :lol:  :lol:

A year ago my quote on the disco had a jump up to around £300, shopped round and got 100 quid dropped off it

This year they dropped another £15 off from last year, not complaining at all makes a nice change

RCRockCrawler:
Lancaster were great, £100 for a years cover on the series, but only for one year.

Next year it more than doubled! Shopped around a bit, and got fully comp at Sureterm for only a little more... Always shop around!

blueboar:
Last year my insurance was £959 with Norwich Union!

I phoned around and anow insured with the AA for £345

The NU wouldn't match it, and that was 15% discount.

So now I am with the AA
 :lol:

--- Quote from: "narked" ---Ah yes, that wonderful bit in the phone conversation where they say "And how much did that claim cost Mr Brown?". It sounds so much better saying just the one car was a write off than saying "£3800".

Still, on the plus side, one of the locals managed to write off his nearly-new L200 and a couple of other reasonably new cars due to not hitting the brakes quick enough, £20k+ claim on that one!
--- End quote ---


Ouch.  Even those are small claims compared to something that has injury claims involved as well... the insurance company could be paying out £250,000 or more if someone ends up in a wheelchair as a result of the accident.

I don't think I've ever kept my insurance with the same company more than two years in a row.  They alwatys try to stitch you on the deal.  I phone them up and say "I've got a cheaper quote, can you beat it".

"How much was the quote for, Sir?"

"I'm not saying.  I want to know the absolute lowest quote you can give me for the cover".

Sometimes it's got me an improvement, most times they say they can't help, at which point I say they've lost my business and go with the better quote.
