Default Car insurance rant

Ranting is not my forte but they've proper pissed me off.

Renewal is up and last year was £400 AA send me renewal of £930!!! So I do the obligatory ring them up and see if they'll price match my cheapest quote (£600) no we can't match that.

So I go on to ask why the price hike "we've had a bad winter last year mr ant and had a lot of claims" , I then respond " how on earth does that effect me when I didn't claim or have never the whole 7 years I've been driving?"

"it doesn't sir but mine has gone up too"

So because his has gone up then that ok. So told him I won't be renewing " we really would like to keep you as a customer" but he wouldn't price match


I'm pissed off I've got to pay £200 more than last year!!

Law to themselves and definetly some price fixing going off

Got my insurance renewal today and I think it's either the same or gone down......it's about the only advantage I have being born in the 1950's LOL

What will kill me is when the kids start to drive and use "bank of dad"

I rang up my insurance company to get a quote on a 1.9 306 diesel, they quoted me £427. A whole £30 less than I am paying them for an impreza. I have been getting quotes of £200 everywhere else.

not sure why you find that surprising tbh, sounds not too bad to me considering her age.
