:7600: Huh I totally forgot about this..... I got my car insurance renewal letter the other day and although I was expecting my premiums to go up I wasnt prepared for it to go up quite as much as it did. It actually DOUBLED!!!!!!
So I rang them up because whats the point of having 10 years no claims if the premium is still going to double when you have a bump. They said that was the best they could offer, did I want to renew today?
I said hell no, I was going to look around for better, they had the cheek to say I wouldn't find better because of my recent claim, I had a go at them about the whole point of No Claims bonus etc and was told that the premiums would be even higher if I didn't have it.
Anyway I went and had a look for my own insurance, Direct Line has always worked out cheaper in the past for me which is why I've stuck with them for 10 years but they've screwed me over and I managed to get better cover, with the same amount of excess for £25 more than what I was paying last year. The extra £25 was for a guarenteed hire car, which I didn't have with Direct Line. Plus I got a discount for already being an AA member.
Even if I hadn't have found anything cheaper than Direct Line there's no way I was staying with them if thats how they treat loyal customers. But I was stunned to find that almost all the companies on the price comparison website saved me £200 - £500. A$$holes!!!!!!:flamingmad:
