'Comedic' renewal pricing - Churchill

[ToeKnee]

Just when I was making friends I mentioned the obviously dangerous and smelly baked maize-based snacks instead of normal, everyday crisps. I stand here, suitably chastised (courtesy of an old friend from Sussex gardens), and humbly ask for forgiveness. Tyrrell's anyone?

Much better. You’re back on the list.

 

[SpikyMikey]

I concur.
You have made amends for your previous unfortunate transgression.
Kettle Chips or Burt's would also be a suitable alternative.

And then there's that rumour that insurance companies are refusing to cover kids and RR Spoooorrrrrts....

Both true I believe. I’ve got two young kids, youngest just passed her test, £1800 insurance. And I’ve heard from friends that £3k is not unusual.

Companies are refusing to insure RR’s inside the M25..

 

[NewbieAMG]

moved out of london(outside of m25). last year it was £1100 to insure 20 plate c63. this year it's close to 2k to insure a 17 plate c63. bonkers...

I heard that all insurance companies are owned by just eight people, who combined own 80.085% of total global wealth - and their wealth has been growing at an average rate of 71.75% over the last 70 years, and is now peaking at 80.11045%

If anyone is unsure of the credibility of those statistics then pop them into your calculator - an old school LCD is best.

Rob, I usually take your words as gospel and I appreciate your opinions, but I only have 5 words to describe your comments above......................... Breast, more Breasts and Testicles.

Those statistics I cited are largely possibly credible, and if you spotted any trends in the data then it’s purely mostly coincidental!

PS Thank goodness that you didn't call me Robert this time!

Proof that the car insurance world has gone mad dropped onto my doormat this morning.

From Aviva: "We've overcharged you by £49 for your car insurance. Here's a cheque for your refund."

Pardon?

(So that's now just over £500 to insure my E500 for the year)

I had a letter from Aviva saying I'd been overcharged by £7 for my insurance.

Oh, so there must be seven of you.

Well, thanks anyway. Much appreciated. I'll put your £7 to good use.

That's a half, I take it?

 

[C63STEVE]

Just had the renewal through for my C63S from Churchill this morning - frankly its worthy of an Oscar for comedy.

My premium has gone up a full £202 to £808 for the year.....thats for a 46 year old, 12,000 miles a year, car parked on the drive, with a £900 combined excess and 1 additional driver. No convictions and no claims etc etc... Also, we have another car insured with them, so I feel they are really taking the Micheal here....

Is it just me or have prices risen at a mad rate this year? Worse still, a quick check on compare the market shows that Churchill are the cheapest anyway at £770 for 'new' customers!

*Sigh* Yet another waste of my time whilst I threaten to leave them and they offer me a few crumbs/quid off and spin me the old 'prices have risen across the board' etc etc....

I have 2 cars and both were insured by Churchill. They declined to offer me insurance for my C63 and wouldn’t give me an explanation why. My other car is a diesel 2013 Golf and they wanted £480 to insure it this year…….. I told them to shove it. I will never use them again!

 

[ChrisHGTV]

I’ve just got my renewal from LV for the Alfa. Increased from £170 to £230 including all mods so although that’s quite a % increase it’s still good value.

I have a feeling I’ll be telling them the same at renewal this year. I switched cars in December to an E63S, paid a ‘nominal’ £180 approx to modify the policy. But have a feeling they’ll give me a quote well into four figures for a new policy. Tesco quoted £900 though, so hoping they’ll do that again in July. Also have two cars insured with them, the other one is my wife’s Dacia Duster and they had £490 out of me for that too!

My 230ce renewal went from £119 to £146. Also 3000 miles PA. That was with Aviva through Adrian Flux. I think I've made a stupid error though. They got me a slightly cheaper quote with someone else and I impulsively agreed to it without doing my usual homework. I hate dealing with people on the phone, so just agreed to get it over with. Trinity Lane? Never heard of them but a quick google wasn't encouraging

The saloon went up by a fair bit as well, also with Aviva, but still under £300 so not too bad.

My renewal on the SL has gone from £179 to £349 with esure 5k miles , when I insured it last year it was cheaper than a classic policy ..
Footman James classic policy with agreed valuation came in at £235 , Carole Nash and Hagerty were much more at £400 and £600 odd
