I had AA about four years ago, then they just quoted a stupid renewal figure. i inquired why the hike but didn,t get a satisfactory reply and they also refused to lower the quote to a reasonable amount, so i moved on. Now i get e-mails offering competitive quotes. ;D

They all do that. Drag you in with a competitive quote and then hike it up in subsequent & hope you don't notice.

Every year it's always worth a haggle and use of comparison sites, this year I junked Admiral multi-car as even with the extra discounts it was no way near some online quotes I got.

With cash back, the 3.2's insurance this year was £260. Can't complain with that commuting into London.

 So you paid £300 and they send you back £40 of your own money,,

 I'm paying £202 for the Saab  with Hastings, there was cheaper, but less cover,  and my renewal from Hastings was £272.,  So I did the comparison thingy,  phoned Hastings quick chat and they quoted me happy. :)

Any company that ever does that for me gets the finger as a matter of course, plus they have a habit of tweaking the cover without making it totally clear over the phone (e.g. the excess).  :y

I fell out with Hastings years ago for auto renewing when I'd specifically told them not to .... the kid in the call centre said I should have cancelled it. WTF would I cancel the policy a week before it ended ..... anyway, I did receive an apology from them later
