They're Aviva, so I wouldn't be overly concerned. Just make sure you're happy with the cover they're offering and you should be good :thumbsup:

May be worth a call to A-Plan in Thatcham.

They were the best for me by miles.

Adrian Flux is worth a call, I did a lot of calling around, they were the cheapest by some margin. I was with Admiral for the last 4 years but my renewal from them this year went through the roof, it doubled !!!!

Im not so sure, my wife was doing the comparison sites and they came up quite reasonable, then she googled them, I know people only put up a post when they think have a grievance, but,, quote me happy, certainly had more than their fare share, did put her off a bit

To be honest I think you'll find that with all of them!

They are all staffed by call-centre operatives who can't deviate from the script - makes me mad as it wasn't like that when I worked in General Insurance back in the late 70s and 80s. :thumbsdown: Then again it does mean I don't regret moving on. :D

Still this year I insured my daily with Sheila's Wheels - they give handbag cover! :lol:

Yes I know what you mean, but they did seem to have an awful lot of moaning customers compared to most,,
Truth is you only find out how good the insurance company is, when you have to use it,

Insurance, something everyone needs but nobody wants

My Wife's car insurance was with QMH for the last couple of years.
Web based insurance, so you can only speak to a human if you have an accident.
She had to claim for a new windscreen, all done via the web account, including booking the date for fitting on the autoglass site, dead easy - no problem at all.
Web account is easily navigated for documents, information and any amendments.

Renewal this year had gone up about £30. shopped around and got it back to last years price (RAC). I also went through Top Cash Back, so expecting a further £27 in several weeks :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the comments. I forgot about top cashback obewan, cheers :thumbsup:
I found most of the feedback for QMH are really happy, I will give them a go this year...£154 is a lot better than Tesco this year.

No problem, just make sure you go through their own comparison engine to get the extra money back

Quotes vary depending on which comparison engine you use. I did quotes through compare the market and gocompare and each was different so now have the meerkat 2 for 1 cinema/food and gocompare dineclub memberships.
