Insurance

[Alba]

I had to post this bizarre renewal. I received my renew quote from Bennetts £200, left it to last minute i.e. the night before renewal to check how competitive it was so used gocompare. Seen some quotes with equal cover £70 cheaper. So gave them a phone 'nothing we can do' told them cancel the insurance. Back on gocompare to select insurance company and now Bennetts is on the list £80 cheaper, exact same cover, went with them.

Their logic is beyond me.

I took out a new policy with Carol Nash just because it saved me a third off of the renewal they sent me.

Go figure

I swore years ago never to use Bennetts again after they dicked about with my sons insurance and refused for ages to refund about half his premium. Bastards.

But, they are nearly always cheapest on gocompare etc but I reckon only coz they are a hugely inefficient potentially robbing bastards.

I use LV= for car & bike. Not quite the cheapest but nil charges for mid-term changes and a few other things other brokers make you pay for, eg pro rata cancellation. And, when I have claimed (car stolen) they were brill to deal with.

I don't like carol Nash coz they bundle too much in that I don't want and Bikesure seem to have gone weird.

You used be able to haggle them down by mentioning previous 'best' quotes (minus twenty or thirty quid ) that seems to have led to this current ridiculous situation.
Hey ho.
