insurance renewal - WTF

[Ryandoc]

I’ve renewed my admiral multi policy just today and for the first time in my life I’m actually over the moon about it! Lol

House and 3 cars, added a named bit of jewellery on for loss, damage etc (4 in total) included my extension done this year which has flat roof with a lantern.

And I’m paying £500 less then last year

Be a bit careful on going cheapest as you want to make sure they come good if the unfortunate happens. I was with Saga but they were not interested in agreed value so I’m with Heritage in the midlands now on an agreed value, £370 which include breakdown cover to take me and car back home.

Given the big increases in building material costs, it’s worth checking the re-build value/cost on your house insurance (should it burn down, for example, and need rebuilding). I’ve had to increase my insurance values this year, meaning a small increase in premium. But better that than being under-insured and then have a problem.

Well I probably had the biggest attempted heist from an insurance company so far! Renewal came through earlier in the week at £1,780! As a continuation of the Aviva insurance through A-Plan. I told them to do one and send me proof of NCD.

Today I phoned around a bit and also used Comp the Cats. Would you believe Aviva came out tops with the same policy at…..




£535!!!!


WTF, I phoned A-Plan back and they went back to Aviva and got less than £100 off!

so I went directly to Aviva. Seriously you couldn’t make this sh!t up.

I had a great result with my insurance - did a comparethemarket quote, admiral came out cheap, clicked through to buy it, they then offered me multi-car, discounted the GT by a further 20% and got my BMW added on.

Maserati was £375 for the year in my name - the mrs was fuming it was cheaper than her on the BMW

Next year try the Thatcham branch of A Plan for a quote , they specialise in performance cars at that branch , ring another branch of A plan and the same cover can be 3x the price , bizarrely

Insurance is a lottery, subsidised by the stupid who don't shop around. When I had the TTRS I was paying £500pa. When it was tuned from 400 to 685bhp I ended up with Adrian Flux for £490. Go figure.

I'm sure Cherished Motors (whom I'm with and on an excellent deal) are also part of A-Plan.

A-plan run the the Triumph TR insurance and if you find the right person, very helpful and flexible.

That’s seriously cheap. Limited mileage I presume? I’m just about to renew mine and Compare the Meerkat came out at £640

They also offer a discount to the Mustang owners club of which I am a member, I only ever mention it after they have quoted and then get a genuine 10% off, they have 4 cars of mine on their books so the discounts add up. The Thatcham branch are particularly helpful in my opinion.

A-Plan (Thatcham) are also the insurance partner for the Westfield Owners Club so are happy to cover kit and modified cars.

I am sure I read somewhere that the FCA made a a ruling that I Siena e companies will have to offer the same deal to existing customers as they do to new ones.
Can’t find it on the net though

Car and home insurers to be banned from charging renewing customers more than newbies in loyalty penalty crackdown

Car and home insurers are to be banned from charging existing customers more at renewal than they would expect to pay if they were taking out a new policy with the same firm, as part of a ‘loyalty penalty’ crackdown.
