Insured my TT online at the weekend for cover to start today. My renewal from my previous insurer was 697 due to expire tomorrow and my new quote was 570 or something and so i obviously changed and paid the amount in full.
Today i get a call to query my details, first is that i was involved in an accident in 2007 on a motorbike although i've never owned a bike and nor do i have a licence and the second because i told them my car was to be kept in my mothers garage as it is a cabby and i dont want to keep it in the street for obvious reasons, only using it the odd weekend and our daily use car being parked in our garage. Apparently your insurance has to go off where you live and not where the car is kept, although if my car was stolen from my mothers garage im sure they wouldnt pay out due to providing the incorrect details.
As such the insurance compay they got original quote from wouldnt cover me and my new quote turned out to be just shy of £1000 and because i chose not to accept it i was charged £50 (should have been £70 but they knocked £20 off due to insurance being valid only a few hours - gee thanks).. even though my previous policy doesnt actually expire until tomorrow anyway.
£50 aint a fortune but it just annoys me that people work so hard and often 7 days a week just for companies to constantly have our pants down in such manner. They get enough out of us as it is.
Also admin fees are a joke, my friend used to work for a broker and he used to knock the fees off for me. How can they be so high.
Maybe calling the insurer is the best policy and not handing over any cash until you're sure you are getting what they promise on the screen.. :?
