Insurance

[Brian L]

At the age of 74 I have just insured my 52 plate A2 sport, value £2500 with Go Skippy for £375. ( No set price by the company) This includes every option, ie. Windscreen, abroad, courtesy car etc. I had a bump in 2020 and I have 9+ free driving. I think, know, this is the lowest I have had for years. I tried Saga £1100, Direct line £779, nobody came close. Try it and see if you get the same result. Went through Go.compare so, if I had a bump I would get back £250.

Good luck

Funny how when I tried multiple insurance companies who offering multi car insurance with their "discounts" I couldn't get anywhere close to price point when I insure each of my identical A2 separately trough go compare. The cheapest multi car offer I got was 700 for both of the cars. When I insured them separately 200 each.

The best bit was that the company I had it last year offered my renewal at 290.
The only way to cancel the renewal was to call them and that nice chap said 280 was best he can do. So I canceled the renewal. After the phone call I went immediately to gocompare and got offer for 200 from exactly the same company I just canceled the renewal with. Why they do this? I think they have enough people who just don't bother and pay whatever the renewal is.

Well i tried to get a quote from goskippy and they wanted over £1050 for a 47 year old with 25+ years no claim bonus, no accidents etc... who knows how they calculate that...must be AI :/

I always use a comparison site and will switch for the cheapest deal.

I had a drama with privilege when I looked to change over the policy mid year for the new A2 replacing the one with the snapped cam belt. Online quote ready for the date I looked to change was an extra £55 through their site. OK a bit toppy I thought. A few days later when collection date confirmed I went back into the site and put the date in the cost then went up to £119 extra! The £55 price had disappeared but running it again without a date of transfer it came back to c£60.

I rang them up and they explained the first was a 'quote' where a lot of people seek quotes for cars but don't follow it through. When I challenged them and asked what was the point of a quote if it bore no reality to the final figure they gave me the same line until I mentioned this is surely a case for the Insurance Ombudsman. A quick word with the office manager and funny enough the price came back to £55.

There's a reason most people have no allegiance to insurance companies.
