esure renewel

glitterygert

Hi all,

just had my renewel for car insurance £258.64, so I thought I would shop around and went to moneysupermarket site, the cheapest insurance was for £192.62 with esure the only thing I changed was not to have the green flag assistance, so my question is can I renew at the price online if I am an exsisting customer, should I ring them to be requoted on the renewal form they have sent me?

Many thanks

To be honest with you, I wouldn't touch Esure with a barge pole. I used to be insured with them and found that they were totally unhelpful and useless when my car was rear-ended. They did nothing and even threatened to remove my protected no claims bonus for an accident that was not my fault, as a result I still have the damage on my car today.

I changed my insurance and used Confused.com but only because it was the web address that I could remember. I am now with Endsleigh Insurance and pay £137, fully comp with 70% protected no claims. If I had wanted to I could have signed up for their roadside recovery. My renewal from Esure was £290 so you can see that by going to Confused and ultimately using Endsleigh I have saved money, plus the staff are really polite and friendly. Endsleigh started out as purely providing insurance for students but now they will insure student and non-student alike.

I'd say continue to shop around - Esure are now one of the dearest and for what - they just don't want to know when you are involved in accident, they don't do anything to help and their staff are really quite rude.

Hi

Thanks for reply, esure where in fact the cheapest quote, my husband was rear ended last year and had no trouble with them at all, courtesy car and customer service.

I have been with esure for many years now... and each year i don't renew but apply as a NEW customer, as its always been cheaper this way.

i apply online, and where it says 'what is your current provider' i just put 'other'.

When they send the details through the post, they'll ask for your no claims bonus proof... i just send them my old esure paperwork, and they never have any problem with it.

one thing though.. once you are over 70% no claims discount, then each time you start again as a new customer, you still stay at 70%, rather than 71%, 72%, etc. the number of years still goes up, (ie: 9years to 10 years), but the % discount doesn't.

It still works out cheaper for me always being at 70% and a new customer, rather than an existing customer at 71%, 72%, etc.

I changed from Esure to Sheila's Wheels ( same company ) this year as they were very slightly cheaper.

Main reason was the cashback from Quidco which was £35. Why don't you try this? Just now the cashback is £30 for Sheila's Wheels.
