Default Insurance Renewal.

Insurance due up in June, £315, they say, I ring them up and ask is there any movement on the price, Hastings direct, Have I tried other insurers yes the usual Quote Zone, Go Compare etc!!. what prices have you been offered I say about £270 plus, fully comp , RAC breakdown, protected no claims ETC!.
Last year it was £275 this year to come a jump of £45, the very nice lady says we can match the £270 for this year. All the same conditions.

God looks after his own eh! Never got my Rover 75 under £600 at any of the insurance companies, Never ever had a bump or a claim in over 50 years of driving, My cars are locked up in the garage or in the driveway at the rear with locked gates, It made no difference though as they said I'm in a "high risk" area due to the ne'er do wells, scumbags & bottom of the barrel deadbeats around here

So, they tried a rise of 14%, hoping for either apathy or resignation. That's about twice the rate of inflation. That's a confidence booster for you concerning future trustworthiness!

There are strategies for this that have worked for me, but for others interested in procedure it is useful to ask for a hold on that secondary revised number, together with a reference number, for an hour. Then talk to other insurers with that figure. If no joy, take the earlier revised number from your first agent. What's good for the goose...

Well done, why do they do it they know people will query any rises.

Because the reality is the exact opposite, the vast majority of people just renew without a thought.
