Insurance companies should all just have Dick Turpin as their logo.. Bunch of thieving bas#ard$ :x
I hate insurance companies.....

Shop around, Insurance companies don't give a stuff for loyalty.I always go online just before my renewal Get a few dodgy quotes and then bargain with the company I want to be with It usually works 8) 8) 8)

I have been with the red telephone company for years and years. They always give the lowest quote (I look round the others before they remind me with their renewal notice) - they are even cheaper than their sister company - oh yes! I think this year my fully comp, legal expenses, no-claims protection and rescue is a shade under £220. Not too bad for an old girl like me! DD

We've just renewed my hubby's car insurance. Went online and got a good deal with d**l dire*T for business miles as well, all the gubbins for £200. Breakdown cover too!

Without business miles it was £165 for a saxo. I do not enjoy trawling tinternet for it, but to get a good deal you've got to. I shall do the same for the upcoming house insurance.

There is a lot of debate going on about the company' Insure the box' on Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert.com. forum insurance & life assurance board.
You get to read the good and bad experiences before you buy.

I was a bit slow and probably too trusting....
2 years ago i was with the company with the dog, at renewal the premiium went up so i moved..now this one has gone up and i went back to the company with the dog as its cheapest.
I think all the companies have a cartel, sounds like oil and Dallas, haa or some pact..it goes. lets put up premiums and let customers play musical chairs!!!

They make a loss in the first year with new customers hoping that they will stay with them as it is easier than searching around for a new policy.

I think that the compensation culture is driving up premiums in the UK There has been quite a bit about it on the TV today Here in Spain with Linea Directa I pay 350 euros for a 2 litre Mondeo I have full recovery from anywhere in Europe even Home start Sooner they sort out the whiplash culture the better :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi Oneday,

Good to see you again

Oh challenge them flower thats way too much of an increase! They tried to shove mine up by 40 quid i think it was so I found cheaper and rang them....

Told them I was canceling the policy and they asked why and I said I had found cheaper. they asked who with etc and then she went and spoke to someone, came back and they ad taken it down to only 7 quid more than the other quote....

i was happy with that cus we all know they start with a nice cheap quote and then it goes up once they have hooked you

Public liability insurance... now that one I can't find cheaper

Hope the world is treating you ok and hows your friend now her replacement is older? Cris xx
