  • Thanks all.

    We will ask the insurer about changing car mid contract.
    Someone said just cancel the policy...I'd don't know about that- do they charge a fee usually of ask you to pay the full reminder?

    Usually you get a pro-rata(ish) refund, less an admin/cancellation fee, assuming you've not claimed.

    Bear that in mind when picking the new policy, and you'll get your month or so of cover FAR cheaper than a temporary policy.

    [quote=[Deleted User];66330658]If it was a cartel, run by crooks, then you'd expect them to be making massive profits. Instead, almost every insurer is losing money on car insurance.

    How do you explain that?[/QUOTE]

    No need to explain it as it's not true.

    AFAIK The only major insurer reporting profits on car insurance is the Admiral Group.

    Do you know otherwise?
