Car Insurance

[O.C.]

It seems  is prone to the same kinda rip off as it is for bikes 

I received a renewal notice from Hastings asking for over £322 for the year WHAAAAAT ?? .......are they nuts.

So I went straight onto money supermarket quotes and came up with one for E-sure for £194 all included.

Hastings recon that £294 was the best they could do....needless to say I'm now insured by E-sure

I'm only amazed that Hastings didn't try and charge me £1066      did ya see what I did there

 I was with Privilege Insurance for a while. For two years running I couldn't beat their renewal quote but the third year came in massively overpriced. Went with the meerkats and got quote from Privilege for £200 less. I phoned and they matched their own offer. Ridiculous !!  And I got a meerkat toy for SHMBO.

Sorry OC - didn't get it !

I did get a quote from Swinton last week for £200 just for the GTR. Chap tried to get me on cover on Thursday and knocked off £30 down to £170. On Friday I picked up my HG master goretex trousers and the guy gave me a discount card for gues what- Swinton !
Swindon calling me again on Monday. I'll try the card and if they give a little then I'll go with that.

Apparently Swinton bloke says he ain't making a bean - they gamble on us having a no fault accident and pocketing referral fees from ambulance chasers and repair companies.

Nice to know their business model is based on us coming to harm eh  - if this tele sales blokes to be believed.

So much for £500-600 quotes. You can stick your 1000 nectar points, 15 months for the price of 12, meerkat toy where the sun don't shine !

I've no qualms trading this bunch of sharks off against each other - seemples !!!

Blimey. I thought it was assumed that everyone over 40 knew the date of the Battle of Hastings!

My apologies!

Wasn't that the one when King Harold saw a pretty ropey archer and said.

"Careful son, you'll have someone's eye out with that!"

Check it every year.
I was with Esure, renewal was £350, went to Confused, best quote was Esure at £220 (£10 cheaper than previous year) so I phoned Esure and asked them what the  they were playing at.
Got it for £200 in the end but they next year they ratcheted it up again by 35% so I moved to Elephant. So far so good with them (2 years).
