Car Insurance Address Change Discrepency

Hate some of these companies!! Got you by the short n curlies.

We just moved house to nicer neighborhood with off street parking as opposed to on street at previous address. We have 2 vehicles with similar premiums.
1. Tesco - Yes change details online. No admin charge for this. We owe you £12.50 as you now have off street parking. TYVM! :)

2. AA - you can't do this online so I have to literally type 3 lines into this computer for which I will charge you £12.50. In addition, because the address is different it's coming up as an extra £20 on the premium so you owe us £32.50 immediately! :mad:

That's a £45 difference just for altering address details! Is this worth pursuing r should I just suck it up and cancel my AA breakdown and insurance policies at term end?

    Persue it as much as you like those are the charges. Quite reasonable ones
    compared to a lot of posts on here.

    You could go elsewhere when the policy ends but they maybe the cheapest...

    Seems odd you're getting mad at charges you agreed to when you took the policy out. If you didn't want to get charged why did you go with AA in the first place?
