Darwin Insurance.
I have been insured by Churchill for a few years, and as usual the price has increased by £54 to £439 this year fully comp. I have a quote from Darwin insurance from Money super mearket .com for £288. Darwin has only just started in the insurance market. Anybody got experience or scare stories about them. Thanks, John.

Hi John, just a few possibly cautionary words on switching insurance away from Churchill. My wife and I have been with them for many years now, house insurance and both 75's with us both insured on each. Every year the quote goes up, so every year I phone them and haggle it down by quoting a similar policy by any other rival on the inter-web thingy. I truly believe in the merits of paying for a good Insurance company, and I trust Churchill implicitly. Flooded house carpet claim many years back was dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Then last month the wife was shunted up the rear thanks to a speeding BMW driver. Rear bumper smashed, written off (naturally). Hire car as per our policies. Churchill gave us well over book price and let us buy her back for ninety quid. All sorted in a few days. Then repairs done, MOT to prove road worthiness, and insurance fully reinstated and three hundred quid excess returned to wife. It was amazingly well handled. On a previous claim some years back on my wife's Astra same thing, and they were fair and efficient. All I'm saying is in our experience not going for the cheapest quote and company, and a once yearly phone call to get the quote down has paid several times over. An excellent company, and you often only find out how good an insurance company is, when you are involved in a crash. Just thought it was worth mentioning

I don’t see any reason why you should be concerned about Darwin insurance company, last time I checked they were underwritten by U K Insurance Limited. and I’ve dealt with them on a number of occasions in the salvage game, The price may just be reflecting the fact that you fit their target market.

I stayed with Churchill as every add on is included, hire car, windscreen, ncd protection. The qoute they gave me was £351, down from the original quote of £439, which is cheaper than I paid last year. Many thanks for all your suggestions and help. Thanks, John.

I did an online quote with them - they said they could not give me a price, please call 0808*****. Spent 2'30" listening to a recorded voice, eventually got put through to a human being. She ran my whole quote again on the phone, only to get the same message that I got...and she knows not why, "you'll have to ask the underwriter"...what a complete waste of time! What is the point of ringing up if they can't help you?
