So my "automatic" insurance renewal quote came in today from 1st Central Insurance ... it has gone up over £100 from last year! (£382) This is after it took me over 8 months to recover my excess etc for a no fault accident in Spain where my car was hit whilst parked. I did recover all my costs and the car was sorted and it did not affect my no claims ...
I went online to Direct Line and for the same policy details they are offering £308 ... so I called 1st Central, told them all of this - they said I could use their "rewards scheme" to get 10% of my shopping etc (which I could always do anyway but don't use) I told them I wasn't interested and they told me that they are unable to budge on the £382 ... so I told them to remove my auto renewal I will go elsewhere ...
I don't know if Direct Line are worse insurers(?) but am exploring their multi-car insurance to see if I can make savings all round.
There is no such thing as loyalty these days ...
Cheers
