They will have saved a fortune by lower claims. £25- may as well fart in my eye. Good publicity for them though.

Fify 'free' quid on its way. Happy enough with that.

The good part is the new rule that when they tell you your renewal number, they MUST tell you last year's number as well. Previously they would have just written and said "Great news! You can renew for only £937!" and you might have fallen for it.

Coronavirus: Insurer to give £25 refunds as cars and vans sit idle
Pressure mounts on other motor insurers to offer refunds as people stay at home during the pandemic.www.bbc.co.uk
When you know you and your competitors are going to have to do a thing, however painful for the shareholders, it's best to be the first to do it.
Missus, with Diamond (part of Admiral) got her refund email yesterday. Might be good publicity and small in comparison to the savings they are making, but I've got to say it was an unexpected surprise and at least they got in before they were forced. Now to try and get refund on my footy season tickets, not holding my breath on that one
I’m sure you’ll get it, probably being done in batches as opposed to all. Or they spotted you driving to the coast for a non-essential paddle
My insurance with AIB on all 3 cars due for renewal on 29th April. With the lockdown we are only using the Volvo. This years quote was £459.97. Having taken a voluntary XS of £400 and reduced the mileage to 1500 pa their reduced quote was £328 so have gone with that.
I am sorning the TR6 and QP so need to get laid up cover - but AIB do not offer so if anyone can recommend an insurer please let me know

True but when Admiral quoted me £1870 to insure 3 cars vs a previous years premium at just over £1100, I ditched them pronto. Bunch of rip off sharks...
Your right. It is good they show you last years so you don't have to go and dig it out, but they don't seem to be able to review those, like yours, showing a disproportionate increase. Silly really as they must know it will force you straight to the comparison sites and leave you with a bad taste of rip off.

Can't make any suggestions for the QP but I also have a TR6 and for the minimal cost, you may as well just take out normal classic insurance - I pay a little over £100 a year.
The TR6 is garaged so should be ok. Trying to get laid up insurance for the QP was difficult - only one came up with £80 for 2 months and £130 for 6 months so I have stuck with AIB and taken full comprehensive cover for 12 months but limited to 1500 miles and £400 XS

My Cayenne Turbo is insured with Churchill, and I've just had an email from them asking me to advise any reduction in annual mileage so they can process a refund... Happy days!
With all my cars inc the Cayenne (bar the BMW 5 and GC) SORN'd since April and will stay that way until we can start going on hols and to car shows etc, then I should get a decent refund on the premium, although this was limited to 5k miles anyway, as I only use it to travel between my UK and French homes when I have furniture etc to transport.
I'll update here if/when I get any money back.
