Peugeot 205 - Car Insurance Renewals - 3 car oggi

I received an email a week ago from my insurer AA advising that I could rest assured this renewal as their 'AA DEAL CHECKER' would automatically compare quotes from 20 leading insurers to combine the excellent benefits of AA Insurance with a great price.

This week my renewal notice arrived from AA with a quote which was about 50% higher than last year.

I also received an email the same day from Moneysupermarket having used my details from last year quoting a premium from the AA with identical cover for about 30% less.

With my renewal letter was a promise to beat any other similar quote. This will interesting when I ask them to beat their own quote.

So much for customer loyalty!

I had a similar experience this year with Churchill, their renwal for my Santa Fe increased £100. No need to contact auto renwal !! I had checked their web site again and came up with a figure £90 less than their auto renwal quote. Phoned them and they renewed at new figure off the net. I wonder how much they rake in per year conning people who believe in customer loyalty. No such thing these days.

This kind of thing does make one feel as though insurance companies just make it up.

I use the annoying red telephone and mouse company, who sent me a renewal of about £150 more than my last year's premium - I rang up, they could only drop it about £30 apparently. I ran my details through their website (same details, mind you!) and it quoted me £100 less than my last year's quote. So I cancelled and rebought. Muppets.

Companies have one set of rates for renewals and another for new business. Because they seek to attract new business and hope you'll stay.

So you;ll always get stuff like this. As always shop around. If you don't there's only one person to blame isn't there.
