Basically my car insurance ran out yesterday not getting paid till today I had to wait, anyone I have been searching literallly every day to get the best quote…
and that quote is £463.57 (on a monthly bases) which is nearly £200 more than last year!!!
I’m livid with the fact that these companies are screwing me over because of their bad investments. worse thing about it is I have no bloody choice I have to insure the car to drive it!!!
Kak news m8…basically they claim you’re covering the costs of non insured drivers which is on the rise with credit crisis. How they can say that is beyond me.
Thing is, they’re their own worse enemies…they put the prices up so high and then wonder why people take the chance to drive/ride without insurance.
you have 14 day’s grace period to find a better quote…my insurance on the bike, cage and van all went down on last renewal - so earch around some more imho
same address, same car, same parking arrangements, same amount of children, same amount of mileage think you get the idea
I have basically been uckin robbed blind!!! they even put it up £13 because I said I do not have reg access to another car and therefore I do not have experience in other cars although this is about the 8-9th car I’ve own and probably the least powerful one I’ve owned as well.
I thought the access to other cars/bikes thing simply means that you will not always be driving/riding the insurred vehicle and that therefore the risk on the current policy is reduced. If you don’t have regular access to another vehicle you will always be using the insurred vehicle so the risk of you having a claim on that policy are higher.
I must have gone to nearly every insurance company in england and it was still the best quote.
what really got me is when they said it is another £50 because you have kids in the car, go figure this I had an accident after 18 months of passing my test. Then me and the other half had a baby, who is now 6 I also have 6 full years no claims! but they are a distraction and so I have to pay extra go figure that one!
Flamin heck…can’t believe you’re being charged extra for everything.
You’re being honest and they’re just piling on the pounds. Bliddy thieving gypos! A big part of my job circles around dealing with Insurance companies and I don’t trust em as far as I can throw them. Unfortunately, like all businesses they’re in it to make money so quite often they’re happy to insure someone incorrectly to make a fast buck and save a payout when the truth comes out at an accident.
A “few”, well 50, years ago, my Dad said to me that I might as well learn now there are 3 forms of theft. (I’d just had my first decent push bike stolen.)
" There’s taking stuff you don’t own. There’s taxation and there’s insurance, and insurance is for paying, not for claiming."
So there are some things in life that are constants.
