Can't do a quote as a 'New Customer'

dannymccann

Seems Admiral are closing the 'loophole' we all know and love about doing a new quote as a new customer instead of just blindly accepting your renewal. When I go to the website I put my initial details in the new quote generator and now it just gives me 3 options, but none let me go to the next stage (unless I have a second car to insure, which I don't):

Could you please tell us why you would like a new car insurance quote:
I have a second car I would like to insure
I am thinking about making some changes to my policy
I would like to find out more information about my renewal

Notice they have completely missed out the only option we all care about, which is 'I want to see if your renewal is ripping me off':rotfl:

Anyone discovered this little trick with any of the other insurers?

Make up some personal details with same age/NCD/car etc.

Although that would tell you the price they would quote a new customer, you couldn't use it to haggle with!

If they're trying to hide what they charge to new customers - don't bother with them.

Well there's a simple solution. Screw 'em and take your business elsewhere.

Agreed, if another company is cheaper than you renewal quote, just go wihth them

Find the best quote you can for cover you are happy with elsewhere, and then phone Admiral to see if they will match it. If not, swap companies. I always take this approach and have never bothered to try to get a new customer quote from my existing company. Although price comparison sites will typically tell you this anyway.

SAGA do the same. Just take your business elsewhere.
