Got my renewal through a couple of weeks ago... reasonable price, compared the meerkats and it was in the same terrace.
Am going to be changing the car in the near future, and had also been getting quotes for that, and my current insurer was competitive both for the renewal and the change of vehicle. The idea being to renew the policy and change vehicle as required, keeping the same insurer. No fuss, no drama.
So I ring my insurer in order to ask how much the change of vehicle will cost me, assuming that it would be in the first couple of weeks of the renewal...
... Only to be told "we can't quote for that vehicle". Apparently they have decided, at some point in the last week to drop higher group vehicles from their cover. I asked where that left my renewal. "Nope, we won't cover that either".
So the cautionary tale here, is that had I not rung them and simply left the policy to auto renew, (which was an option), then I would have been left uninsured and only found out when they didn't take the payment or issue the documents
Now struggling to find a single insurer to cover both vehicles, so will probably end up having to take out one policy in order to cancel it in a week or so to take out a different policy for the change of vehicle. Which is an expensive and arse backwards way of having to deal with it
