Default insurance. what a rip off

i got a quote from swinton insurance a few month ago for a sti they quoted me £640 when i rang them today to sort it out now i have the car they told me it would be £1700.

when i ask how it was that much now they said that they should never have giving me the quote for £640 via the internet because of the vehicle being an import.

the thing is i insured my clio with them thinking that when i got the impreza it would be a simple case of swapping the policy. now that i wont be staying with them they are going to charge me £50 to cancel the policy, which i think is some what unfair seen as i only went with them because of the false infomation they gave me.

Gary has a subaru and mods himself and posts on here so knows what you are talking about when you ask for a quote etc.. I don't know Fraser but am sure he would also know etc..
It just makes a change from the "Its not on our system" "whats a decat" etc..

just for a laugh ive just put all my details in to swintons internet devision as i did before and guess what they gave me a quote again, even though on the phone today they told me they cant give instant internet quotes for imports.

its gone up to £723 but its still not the £1700 they quoted me today

If Fraser has already quoted you you'd have to speak to him (company rule i'm afraid)

I don't do any of the internet quotes, just over the phone.

Will speak to him about it on Monday though, as he should be checking how you get to hear about Keith Michaels

he did ask how i had heard of you and took the persons name. to be fair the microphone on my phone has just about had it and he could hadly hear what i was saying so the call ended before we sorted the details out properly.
