A year ago we had been with Direct Line for 7 years, never had a claim and through apathy on my part, just basically auto-renewed o four vehicles.
When it came to light that the no claims bonus for the 2nd driver was a complete con, I shifted the lot to Admiral and saved £1200.
Got the renewal quotes through a couple of weeks ago and decided to do a "quick 10 minute" search. If I could save £250, I'd switch but for nothing less.
Unfortunately, initial quotes were showing savings of £700 and from that moment on, my life has been pure hell.
Trying to cancel existing policy: Approx 2 hours ( Dropped price by £350)
Trying to compare like for like : Approx 10 hours.
"Yes courtesy car is included if we have one available"
"Yes courtesy car is available if it's not your fault at time of accident"
Personal accident cover varying from 5k to 100k.
Trying to actually buy the policies: Approx 4 hours.
Press the commit to buy and the price jumps 15%.
I just can't take any more !!!!!
Off to pub and a broker can sort it.
