Just had our second car insurance through, it had gone up by almost £70. I input like for like details into their website and it came up almost £100 cheaper. On phoning them they straight away agreed to honour it and said they would have noticed their mistake when we renewed . So if they had not been greedy, they could have held it at last years figure and we would have paid it, but now they are getting £30 less.

Ive got the same problem this year! I Insure with the I.A.M. last year the combined price for the two cars was in the high six hundreds. This year the same two cars is about £1,000 Yet no claims (ever) and no convictions (Ever). They seem to think that at 73 I am now a greater risk!!
Will have to shop around I suppose, but suspect that I A M might be cheapest. This year the NFU suggested over £1000 for my Merc let alone the little Jazz.

I switched to NFU a couple of years ago and this years's renewal was only slightly up on last year's. I pay just under £600 for two cars - 3 year old Touareg and a new Corsa, which I don't think is bad. However, my main reason for switching to them is that, if I have a query, I can speak to a real person in our local office and I don't get the usual call-centre waffle.

I agree and was happy with them & would have preferred to stay with them, but a difference of several hundred pounds was just too much.
Now I have a reverse problem! I.A.M. renewal is £764.17, far too much IMHO. So have got a quote from Saga of about £390, which seems too cheap & have to check everything is OK. How can they be so much cheaper???

It's a merry go round, Last year SAGA was the cheapest by far for the same cover and this year it went up by £130.
Halifax came in cheaper than SAGA was last year so went with them, but I can see me moving on again next year. Why they do not want a loyal customer base I do not know, as they see quite happy to lose some and gain others

Posted on 31/03/2018 12:52 by tigerfishTW, I agree with all that you have said, re service etc. But in this case NFU are DOUBLE the saga premium for the two cars. I.E. £700 more!
£700 is a hell of a lot just for the accepted privilege of speaking to a real live person!
