The wifes brother was telling me was about to renew his car insurance and it had gone up again. I asked him how much and he said it was only another £30. I asked him how much he was paying and he said about £700.
My wifes Brothers is 72, he lives in a quite village near the coast, has no convictions or claims and he drives a 15 year old Nissan Micra, he is a nice guy but is a bit gullible if you know what I mean?
I asked him when he last asked if the broker he was using could get a better deal, he apparently hadnt so I suggested he did. He rung me the following day to say they had come up with a £50 better offer. I suggested he try another broker and when he did he got a quote for £240. He had been using the broker for over 20 years.
I have used a broker for years but I always check the premium is competitive before I renew.
It makes me so cross these companies are ripping people off but get away with it.
