Well there had to be a reason they are losing good customers. Didn't know that.

I've complained.

Carole Nash have said that they cannot explain the dramatic increase in price but they are willing to pass the matter over to one of their specialist handlers who will call me to discuss a better price.

Erm no. Piss. off.

The sad thing is that enough customers must just renew otherwise they wouldn't risk losing your business.

I got my renewal through last week from Bennetts, 180 quid. So I insured it with Bennetts for 91 quid instead, broken system!

I cancelled my car policy with Zurich as they stated they wouldn't insure anyone anymore to drive other cars 'third party' so costing me a cancellation fee. I took out a policy with someone else that did. The underwriter of that policy was... Zurich (facepalm) (swear)

I told Carole Nash to sod off.

They came back with £895.35 with another Insurer.

That's a bit of a drop from £1,486.

It's still too much though.

Because people are lazy and many will just accept the renewal without questioning it , in my experience you usually get a much better quote when you phone or go online
