its looming again

, so doing the rounds on the comparison sites

Admiral did their annual slight price bump up again ( as every year) , I get a better price from them online and will get it renewed at that ( have done the last 5 years)

Alternate years for the last 6 its been back and forwards on Swmbo's ZR105 between admiral ( multi car with the ZT ) and Saga.. this year its Saga @ 60 quid cheaper..

Put identical info into the 3 top comparison site .. 2 quote similar and one Admiral won't quote ?? ..

The whole system is laughable!!

also hows about this for a quote ..

There was one over 10,000 but can't be bothered to find it again

My email inbox is now bursting and the telephone has already started !!
Hate putting in the number ..

Had confused phone 1st trying to get me to go to Adrian Flux ?? for some reason ..

Don't give your number to Adrian Flux; seriously, they will bombard you with calls for days afterwards if they don't give you the best price.

Scum of the earth!

Hi thanks for the offer, I only showed those number as the silly end of the quote system.

Will most likely stay with Admiral as with declared synergy , still bit under £200.. for my ZT and Saga @ £110 for the the ZR..

its good to be old !! sometimes

It depends how old! Once you get past 70, you'll find your premiums will increase every year.

Always shop around and although these say wont save going direct i have once i find cheapest to start with.

Always worth checking a few different comparison sites as there is no one site that covers every insurer.

Never give your real number and only your real email to the one you intend to go with.

I love not having a home phone any more and can use that number for such as this....

problem with giving a wrong number is if you do decide to go with one of them and then don't correct your number it will be wrong on their system...gives them a perfect get out in the event of a claim, it is your responsibillity to ensure all details are correct (read small print) so even for a wrong number theoretically they could refuse to pay out in the event of a claim.

My renewal from from AFlux came this week. They wanted £519, so i went and searched the comparison sites. The best quote was £457 from Admiral. So i rang A flux back and told them what the 'net' had to offer.
I waited on the phone for a minute..... and the girl said.... we can do it for £450.
I have never had a problem with Aflux in the past re unwanted phone calls. Guess i must be lucky.
