Just got my renewal today for my Spinter van £1,668-00 last year i paid £658-00 what's going on rang them up they said its my post code, how do you make a living! Steve
Wow yeah Norwich union tried that one on me its your postcode sir well its the same bloody one as last year and you've put it up by nearly 250% so can you justify it please its the post code sir rubbish so I ring round and get a cheaper quote back down to what I would expect.
It's a con mate, no wonder people go out of business. I had same problem few months back and posted about it. Cost me loads more. Does it cost more with sign writing on van? As getting mine done soon, will I have to tell them.
Yes it does the reason it reduces the re-sale value of the accident repair for them if they write off your van.
Have a ring around Steve,or i will look up my company and let you know their details if you like mate, Alan
I know how they got that figure here goes. Cost of fuel £1.39 x 12 = £16.68 x 100 = £1668.00 and if you pay mounthly / 12 = £139, I'm beginign to wonder at some point it will be cheaper to hire a van all year round.
did mine the other day £490 f/c protected I always thought the sign written thing wouldve been a bonus coz its easier to find when it gets nicked! :lol:
Had the same problem, my insurance doubled when it ran into the next year so I rang them to ask what all the extra charges were. without question they knocked off nearly £300. Then they asked me to send them proof of no claims? I thought Ive had enough so I cancelled it thats when they said I wasnt intitled to the discount previously agreed and I would be charged £250.00 for the cancellation as it was a monthly payment. If I ever treated customers like that I would have no work so how do they get away with it. I will have to check some of these companies you guys are insured with mine was over £800.00 this year
forgot to add, mines an '06 iveco lwb for £490, i thought it was ok Wouldve liked it cheaper, but the talk i was getting when i was haggling was that insurance has gone up everywhere across the board. Yeh.. Everythings gone up cept wages!!
