Student to Graduate Car Insurance

dlmc88

Hi there

I was just looking to see if someone could give me some advice. Back in May I signed up through Endsleigh for car insurance with all the bells and whistles they offer. I was given at this point student car insurance. I have since spoke to confirm that I have graduated and was informed that my premium would increase by 40%!!

At the time of processing the insurance I notified them that I would be graduating in this year which meant that the insurance was going to cover me for a period that i was longer than a student. I was informed that this was down to the job that I was doing, although this is the same job that I was doing at the time.

As I notified them at point of sale do I have a leg to stand on?

Thanks

To be honest id shop around ive just done a quote with endsleigh for my daughter who is a student and has been driving 18 months and they have quoted almost 1000 more than her own policy she has now.

Probably not. It can only be rated on the factual information at the time - not what may happen in the future.

Might be worth running a dummy quote to check they aren't taking unfair advantage of your captive punter status, i.e. see what they would charge a new graduate.

Did anything else change when you graduated like address, job, commuting cover etc etc?
