Is there a fee for changing address with Hastings Car Insurance?

Hi,

I recently took out insurance with Hastings. I'd give them a call but could wait forever in their phone queue.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of giving my old address. My old address is a village in the Yorkshire Dales and my new address is the not-exactly-crime-ridden town of Lancaster, so I can't imagine the premium would go up much (but I might be wrong). But am I likely to incur an admin fee? And if so how much?

If I am likely to incur fee, this puts me in a difficult position because in June I will be moving to Hampshire 3 months before moving back again. This means I would need to request an address change three times!

If I took the risk and left it and someone crashed into my car while it was parked at home I guess I'd land into difficulties...

Thanks in advance!
Matt

    I'm pretty sure they do charge a fee of around £25. Why don't you tell them your future plans now i.e address A until June, address B until September and then back to address A. They may treat that as one change.
  • you say you dont want to wait in the queue but you will have to when you change address. Are you saying that if they charge a fee you wont call?
