SEiGHT Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 On my tin-top my insurance through Aviva went up to £700 this year. I rang the RAC and they wanted £350, plus I got a free meerkat toy When the policy documents arrived, the RAC insurance is under-written by, you guessed it, Aviva. The insurance industry has basically gone down a self-defeating path of judging success by the amount of new business they attract. Rather than trying to keep low risk customers who don't claim they are instead using them to subsidise new customers in the belief that more customers = better. Best advice when renewing insurance is shop around ! Loyalty counts for nothing as far as the insurace companies are concerned. Quote
It Almost Looks Like A Car Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Just changed to A-Plan, exactly the same policy as FL (breakdown, legal,injury), 3000 miles, lower excess and £72 saving! That is half a track day! Ant 1 Quote

Tim Reid Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 After my great experience with A-Plan I have just refered a friend with his Lotus S2... I hope you can help him too :-) Quote

bdy5600 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Moved mine to A-Plan this week, Pickles put the renewal up even though my son on as a named drivers age had increased to 25. Lower excess and premium with an underwriter I have been with before. Thanks Clare! Quote
AdamR Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Been on the phone to A-Plan this morning too - friendly people and very efficient which seems to make a change nowadays! Premium a bit more than my current insurer, but no 'admin fees' (hate them!) so cheaper overall Quick question for the WSCC masses... Agreed valuation. Worth doing or not? Had a chat with FP about it (which peed me off a bit to be honest - the person I spoke to was rather blunt and basically told me I'd get less than I valued the car at if it was written off, despite my figure being highly realistic IMO), and they said I would need to send photos etc in order to do this. Thanks in advance! Quote

Thanks in advance! If you can get it, then it's extra peace of mind. However, it's what helped drive me away from Sureterm - not the need to send photos to start with which I totally get, but the fact that they wanted six new photos, signed and dated, each and every year despite nothing on the car having changed. That was a pain in the too far. Quote
AdamR Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Hmm. 6 signed and dated photos would be no problem for me really. I'll give A-Plan a shout and see if they offer it - thanks! Quote

Thanks in advance! My colleague Chris gave you the quote, agreed value is available on this policy. All we would need is 6 photographs to get it confirmed. If you have any questions about the agreed/market value policies we offer please call me or Chris on 01635 874646 and we can explain further. Thanks Clare Quote
AdamR Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Cheers Clare! Edit: Just spoke to Clare - kindly talked me through the agreed valuation (which is free!) so I'll be getting the pics sorted shortly. Quote
