Car insurance renewal arrived, had a look at other insurance providers and found that I could get the same cover for £100 less, phoned insurance company renewals to inform them that I would not be renewing and they have not only matched the other quote they have improved on it slightly.
I wonder how many people just pay the renewal without question.
had exactly this with RAC, and before that with AA, I now don't give them chance to better their price, tell em to look up "customer loyalty" on the internet, then tell em to stick it, no matter what they can do with the price. After all, we all know "New customers" get the best deal.
Thats a good way to go. I have a policy that says if my insurance company put my premium up for whatever reason(as they often do I change to another company even if it means I pay more.
mine was due for renewal last month, (part time traders policy), they wanted £948, last year was £640 including an extra £80 to put a Pontiac on it. told them to stick it, 10 mins later they phone back to say after they searched again have found someone for £744 so they will send the paperwork out for the new price. found someone else for £675, so they matched it again. they were really pissed off when I found someone else for £601 and that includes American/Canadian and any left hand drive. they then said why didn't you ring back we would have matched it, I said if you had done that price in the first place we wouldn't be havin this conversation.
ive had a shitstorm of problems insuring anything lately due to being on a classic policy for so long.
£600 for a 1.5 td clio???
I think not
had to dig out my old Vauxhall nova and put that back on the road to get some ncb.
Just got an email from Aviva offering me another 10% if I take the quote they gave me, not a chance that ship has sailed :shake:
Because I entered my details onto a few web sites I'm getting inundated with emails for other products and a few of them have even wished me happy birthday which was nice :incheek:
I know I can unsubscribe which I am trying to do but it's a bit like the Hotel California on some sites, "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave", it's OK though because I use a separate email address for this sort of thing, makes it easy to delete them on mass :tup:
