It pays to ring around!!!!!
Hi Guys,
I have just had my renewal through from AF to the sum of £300! which includes an additional of £36 B/D cover, £30 Policy issue fee (WTF!) and £15
personal accident cover! (Which i didn't even agree too!) from last year, I'm sure you can imagine i was pretty disgusted with this!
Bare in mind I am 28, owned the kit for 5 year, its locked away and milage at 3000 max, no points and one None Fault accident in the past 5 years
I have just rang a few other insurers and I was gob smacked at the saving
A-Plan Insurance
Policy: £182
B/D: £30 (whole UK take home)
Legal (£100,000): £30
Excess: £100
Total: £242.25 (including legal and b/d)
2gether
Policy: £192.20
B/D: £25.30 (whole UK take home)
Legal (£100,000): £Included
Excess: £100
Total: £217.50 (including legal and b/d)
Grayham Sykes
Policy: £192.19 for
B/D: £Included (whole UK take home)
Legal (£50,000): £Included
Excess: £100
Total: £192.19 (including legal and b/d)
Frank Picles: Wouldn't insure me on a "sevenesk" car as i'm under 30!
I have just rang AF with these prices and spoke to a very nice girl called chloe! Not only have flux match the Sykes quote they have done it with no
questions asked! (policy includes european & UK B/D and £100,000 legal)
i have always had good service from Flux and although a little miffed at the renewal e-mail after speaking to someone im glad they have seen sense!
Maybe a little rant at the start there but a happier customer in the end!
Time for lunch, cheese and corn beef sarnies with daddy's sauce! Love life, love your sarnies!

I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Good result. This always annoys me at renewal time, there's no reward for loyalty anymore, why can't they just give you the low price to
start with?
However I just turned 30 a few weeks ago and the insurance on my Focus ST has just about halved from last year to 260 quid. There are some benefits to
getting old Hope the kit insurance goes the same way later this year.

I'm afraid I would have told AF to poke it, if they try and rip you off at renewal, there is no way they would of had my money even when
matching quotes on principle.
Wasa, try sky insurance for Imprezas (nothing to do with tv), if you're not a scoobynet forum member, sign up and give them your username for
discount, used them for scoob's for years and no one else came close.

Proby: i can certainly see where you are coming from. i was thinking the same, but then, in my view, i think most people are aware that the renewal
e-mails are normally higher than or the same as the previous year. the part that annoyed me the most was the £30 policy issue fee and the £15 personal
injury cover that i was not consulted about (if you take those off then the renewal would have been about the same price that i paid last year). with
having to fill in all new forms etc with a new insurer (excluding the 30 minutes or so of me ringing round) the end result means that i have a hassle
free (admin) renewal, i got the cheapest policy without having to do to much at all (and i don't have to fill in any forms now either) on
principle i agree with you

Cheers but they where £20 dearer than my renewal quote. The only cheaper quote I got was from Performance direct but they have had me over before and
the excess was beyond stupid.

I have to say that I use A-Plan in Bletchley without fail. They always get me a very fair price, are great to deal with and it saves me a mountain of
####ing around.
Thought I should qualify this by saying that my insurance hasn't gone-up in three years (has gone down.) Compare that to the overall trend.

I'm surprised by frank pickles as I've been with them for 3 years now and I'm 31. Must be a new policy!

Frank Pickles wouldn't put my wife on last year as she was 29 (not a bad thing really, leaving the wife off!). The chap stated its the easiest
way to keep there policy prices as low as possible.
