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

Does it say in the terms and conditions abut the fee or better still cal and ask but you've tried that, you should change it0

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.0

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?0
