Had a pleasant surprise yesterday.
Earlier in the year I had started thinking about changing my trusty petrol Avensis TS & as there really aren't that many suitable options left for my needs had honed in on Corolla TS hybrid. Part of the research over the summer showed up that:
a) my, at that time long term insurer esure, looked unlikely to offer cover. As a result, come renewal in September I shifted insurer to Aviva
b) it looked likely that all my fuel savings from going hybrid (estimated £250pa) were going to be eaten by increased insurance premium :O
Yesterday, I went to pick up my "new to me", 10 month old with 10K, Corolla TS & obviously had to do the insurance changeover dance. The surprise came when at the end the premium uplift for the remaining 10 months of the policy was under £2! :D:D:D
p.s. I am covered for:
1. any vehicle loaned to the principal policyholder for a maximum of seven days from a garage, motor engineer or vehicle
repairer while the vehicle registration described above is being either serviced, repaired or having an MOT test.
2. any vehicle loaned to the principal policyholder or, any other person entitled to drive as described in permitted drivers, by
the insurer’s nominated supplier as a result of a claim under this policy:
i) whilst the vehicle registration described above is being repaired
ii) whilst the vehicle registration described above is being replaced
iii) following theft of the vehicle registration described above
& may, subject to the owner's express consent, also drive a motor vehicle which: does not belong to them; is not a rental vehicle; is not hired to them under a hire purchase or
leasing agreement.
