Title: INSURANCE (AGAIN)
Post by: rippers on September 22, 2012, 11:56:41 AM
I know this comes up on this forum frequently.

Well just been quoted by Swinton £176.38 to renew my insurance, which I think is good. But shopped around and have renewed it Fully Comp with 10000 miles for £107.37
I am retired (Ex Cop) and only have Social Domestic and Pleasure.

Am I happy? You bet I am.

This was with Bennetts. I had not been with them last year, so this may include getting you as a new member. I am retired so only want Social Domestic and Pleasure. I really had about £500 excess but protected my NCD.

Really pleased.
