Insurance gone up 35%

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Jasonm, May 10, 2013.

  1. So, I just got my renewal through from Adrian Flux and it's gone up by 35% in a year, this seems like a bit of a ******* take to me, especially as I've moved to a new house and the van is now garaged and not on the drive like this time last year!
    Time to ring round for quotes I think.......
    Anyone got any good suggestions?

    Try Cherished - 0845 2508282 - ask for Greg tell them you are a tlb member and i told you to call him :thumbsup:
     
  3. I use Sureterm. Cherished couldn't better them.

  6. JK for me ,got a great deal.
     
  7. JK too but it's actually Mrs TBR who's the Insured, it made a massive difference if I didn't own it. :confused:
     
  8. Shop around. They always bump it up the next year. Then all of a sudden they can match/better a quote for far less. Very annoying. Also, JK send you a £20 voucher if they're not the cheapest.

    As others have said: shop around.
    Personally I wouldn't touch Cherished again (and won't come renewal time) as I don't deal with people who lie to customers if I can help it.
     
  10. Cheers fellas, time to hit the phones....
     
  11. Just rang Cherished , Greg was out but the quote I got was less than half AFlux renewal figure! £140 vrs £285 ( including breakdown with both )

    Read the small print with Cherished. They have a tendency to not tell the whole story...

    If you read the small print then surely they have told you the full story by proxy , it is up to you to make sure anything you purchase is not mis'sold to you surely ?

    i have had experience of insurance company's in the past and to be frank they are all much of a muchness re flannel , if you do find one who explains the small print completely, one of you is going to have a very big phone bill because it will take a age , i read your thread re cherished and you came across as bitter you seemed like someone who felt cheated and was out for revenge , but worse than that - you had not actually used the service abroad anyway !

    "Dog with a bone " was a phrase that sprang to mind !

    i'm not defending them as i think everyone is the same but they are cheap

    Malcolm, ***** off. It's fairly obvious your mate works there.
    I had used their insurance abroad but luckily I didn't need it as I didn't break down. Just as well as it turned out.
    If you read my thread you'd know they categorically mis-sold the policy, as was evidenced by the FSA getting involved.

    Nice !
     
  18. Agree you deffo should read the contract as soon as it arrives ,line by line ,as you have "remote purchase" right to cancel ,small print is all in Insurance .When I (eventually) got round to reading my last policy ,it was so obviously no good for my needs, my fault ,should as said ,have read it soonest,as I now do.

    It wasn't supposed to be nice, as I suspect yours wasn't.
