Default Insurance Companies ..... again!

Last October I managed to pick up three points & £100 fine for violating a traffic light signal, 2ft over the line & flash! ..... first conviction since the 70s

I have just received the insurance renewal from Esure, £241 up from £191 last year, but of course I had to report the points & receive a new quote .....

£363.38! an increase of £122

So back to Moneysupermarket.com all the details in yet again & hey presto they quoted £225 from Tesco Bank

I'll never understand car insurance!

I understand it perfectly. It’s one big swindle. Robbery without the violence.Its like being mugged. No wonder people don’t bother getting it anymore.

Last year my renewal from esure came through at £290 from £207 the year before.


Quick re-quote on Compare the market and got it down to £230ish.


....with esure.


Be interesting to see my renewal this year, which hasn't come through yet. But I've already bought a new policy in advance as it came down to £213 after re-quoting over several days - again through esure, who wanted £266 beginning of last week....£230 middle of the week, then £213 on Friday.

I must be the luckiest guy in the world then,, as Admiral reduced my insurance by 80 quid a month!

Tescobank, in my experience probably the easiest insurance company to deal with when buying salvage, on our vehicles they are pretty good at settling claims in lieu of repairs so well done
