Post office insurance madness

Mel!_4

lol! I would love to try that but I don't think I'm anywhere near as organised as that!

Gilbert et al it probably only saved me a few pence at the beginning but when the renewel quote came in I nearly fell off my chair! £428 to insure little me - I managed to get it for £200 in the end (with cashback obviously so its not set in stone yet). I do love this website!

What were the £20 charges really for ?

Well... there were afew for chaning my address, I moved twice so thats £40 already the others I shouldn't really moan about as they were for adding drivers, curiously though sometimes they charged me £20 admin fee then £10 or whatever on top and other times they didn't charge me at all..... it was a bit of an unfortunate year. If they'd said something like oh that change of address ups your premuim I wouldn't have minded but to charge me £20 for the privilage of me paying a premium line number and sit on hold and have someone fill in a form online... I wish I had that job!

This year I added my mum and partner at the start of it for the full year and it only added £40 to the overall price so hopefully I won't have to pay so much this year.

You should have 14 days cooling off period to change your mind and get a refund anyway. If they won't do so, threated to do a chargeback if you paid by visa. That might shut them up. Its another brand run by BISL who have incompetent staff and want admin fees for anything.

Any chance you would know who else is run by BISL?

Thanks for the heads up ,I will check my account today ,I just chose not to renew with them as even though their renewals have been cheaper than anywhere else for the past 2 years ,this year its increased ( with no claims ) to such a point that I can get cover for half the price and fully comp elsewhere ?!?

Erm, quite a lot tbh. Ibuyeco is another I know of, and google suggests HSBC and Budget Insurance as well. There's more than that though...
