Nice call from MCE on Sunday..."Good afternoon sir, during June we re offering special discounts on renewals" Only £225 more than you paid last year !!!! New insurance company wanted !
Had this with my car insurance and my AA cover, i think they consider that most people will auto renew and just accept it !
Best of it was they rang again during the afternoon to discuss same deals again told em after three years to shove it.......
thats the thing they just want you to automatically renew,go and compare then get them to match your lowest quote im with MCE and ESURE for car, their c**ts for it must think we are stupid every years same massive hike on renewal but then come down!!
I got a renewal through from them the other day... For my old bike! When I got the blade I had asked them to swap the policy over but they just created another one! Useless.
The sad thing is that a lot of people will just forget and auto renew... easy money for them, i had to explain to the AA why i did not want to auto renew my policy at £240 for my wife and I...... when i can walk to the Trafford Centre and sign up as a new customer for £100, for the same policy !!! But, fair play to them, the guy on the phone (after i told him why my IQ and good education had precluded me from taking up the kind offer of £240 !!) did say that a lot of customers just '' fall for it '' !
I'm with mce. On my last renewal quote it went up 150. Did a search and mce were best quote, 150 less than my original policy! How does that work out? I spoke to them and the guy waffled some sh*t and apologised. They just hope people auto renew. Bastards
car insurance is being investigated because its such a popular thing but because bikes make up only about 10% of that its hard to see there ever being enough pressure on the companys to sort them selves out
Just go on a compare site mate. Admiral tried it with me this year on the cars, told me there was nothing they could do. I took out a separate insurance on my car with Admiral and the wife with Diamond & saved £200..... Then got a call back from Admiral to say they're the same company and if I cancel and switch back to an Admiral multi-car, I'd get a further £110 off. A lot of p!ssing about to keep my premiums level.
Just had my renewal for the two bikes and the golf- £1250, was £750 last year. The best part is I ask them to explain hows this is made up, some waffle and £40 something pound for breakdown cover, a benifit of the policy i'm told. I explain I have breakdown cover free with my bank account so don't need it, get told they can't take it off!!! How's it a benifit if I have to pay for something I don't fooking want, spaz's
Gulp.. Mine is up next month and I am waiting for the letter to drop thorough the door from Carole Nash, I am dreading the long haul to get a reasonable renewal deal on my blade that is a year old and therefore worth less then last year. Paid £550 last time but I have to bear in mind that I lost all my no claims due to the break in owning a bike. Still now I am 50 I might be eligible for a SAGA discount. I won’t be holding my breath.
