Always Worth A Double Check !

[craig79]

Just a wee heads up when it comes to your

insurance renewal. Mine came through about a month

before it was meant to renew (Direct Line). Remember it being

in the region of £640 fc. So, bored at work and out of interest

did the online quote thing again - £420. But this didn't include

any mods, so thought to myself, there surely cannae be that much

o a difference by adding a 'few' addie on's ?? Phoned them once I got

home and the lady proceeded to tell me that my renewal on record was £758....

The difference was due to DL not giving you the 0% interest on your monthly payments

after your first year with them (they dinnae tell you that in the advert!!) ??

So, I said just run me a new qoute please and after the mundane

task of explaining every little detail of what has been done to the car.......£509 RESULT !!

Just goes to show it's always worth another wee check

Quite agree.

Last renewal I had with elephant.co.uk they quoted me somethign liek £800 at renewal, although they forgot to send me out a letter of renewal until I asked for one 2 days before insurance ran out. Went and did an on-line quote on their website and got a quote of £750, £50 cheaper than the renewal for the same details!. Phoned them up, during the day to get UK call center, and whinged. Ended up getting it for £720 over the phone! So much for onlien discounts, and dont trust the renewal quote event fromteh same company!

Looking to change companies this this year..
