my insurance is up for renewal im with adrian flux. they sent me a renewal quote which was £1237.97. so got a couple more quotes i got it down to £718 with direct line.
so i phoned adrian flux back and asked if they could beat this price they phoned me back this morning and said they can get it down to £705.
how can they drop the price by £500?? i think this is really bad that they can charge so much then drop it why didnt they send this quote first??

I know, you wouldn't expect Insurance to want to screw money out of people as they are such nice people
They were just trying it on. I guess that some people would get that quote and would be happy and not look anywhere else. Good job you did really!

Because they hope you accept it and pay them lots of money!

It always pays to shop around because some of these companies really do take the what-not

They are just out to make as much cash as possible and if u cant be bothered to check then they are laughing!!!

This is why it is always best to do what you have done!!!

i no but it really does get to me, think i mite just go with direct line as they have done that.

All insurance companies do it, to be fair if I owned an insurance company I'd do it aswell in the hope that most people don't get other quotes. Personally I would go with Direct Line.

It depends also how long you've been with them. It is possible that when you first signed the contract with them you might have still been a young driver with a higher premium but then the premium should automatically go down once you are no longer considered a young driver which of course it does not... I wonder if you had told them you had another quote for 500 if they would have believed you.

I always make up a figure that i reckon my insurance should be dropping to and say that ive found a better deal, then they always go away and talk to their manager and come back and say that they can beat it.

i have only been with them 1 year, and i had to have proof that i got a quote for that low

Ha ha... looks like they've been there before then... Can never win with insurance people.

i no i hate them, work out how much you have paid in insurance since you have been driving? TOO much. and then when you do go to claim they dont like paying out, this is one thing that does get to me

OMG... I started counting and I'm reaching insane values... I think I'll have a heart-attack if I go on... Enough money to buy a good half dozen ST's!

Funnily enough my insurance renewal has just come through and i am with Adrian Flux also and they want to charge me £777 with 5 years protected no claims and 6 fat penalty points on my licence so im gonna search around.
