    for you who have family already and feel that your insurance cost is high if compared to the coverage, maybe you need to check these tips (thecheapcarinsurances.com/to-obtain-low-cost-auto-insurance-for-your-family/) to reduce your cost. :)
    if any feedback, please don't hesitate.

    This is a lovely example of why newbies are not allowed to post links.

    As there have been fraudsters on here, I would be suspicious of a web site with very little track record that is hosted from USA. The use of "auto" in the link is a bit of a give away, so is the information about the "tires" on the auto.
    There is a classic example of such a site on here, which obviously tries to legally bully the administrators of this forum.

    I could go on and on.

    As this obviously is a wonderful new opportunity (do they do irony in USA) can I suggest this new poster contacts our administration, who might keep the possibility on file for the next report on car insurance, not to mention the new European tyre laws?

    Received my renewal notice from Hastings Direct - premium £545. Had a quick look on comparison sites and spotted quote from Hastings Direct at £262.
    Phoned Hastings Direct and told them that I would not renew unless they could get my renewal quote down.
    Result - premium reduced to £235 - same cover, same extras, same excess.


    Don't need to tell anyone what the lesson is here.....

    Logged onto Aviva there to check our renewal figure (due for renewal on 1st May). Figure they've quoted is £993! That'll be shining bright. That's based on insuring a 10 year-old Peugeot 206 SW worth £1,800 and a 9 year-old Citroen Xsara Picasso worth £1,900. They can jog on!

    Just jumped onto Compare The Market there for a couple of quotes. Quoted £193 to insure the Citroen with my wife as the main driver and I as a named driver, and £186 to insure the Peugeot with myself as the main driver and my wife as a named driver with Swift Cover. So I'll definitely not be renewing with Aviva!

    A quick question, though. At the start of the year I became embroiled in an utter farcical situation in which my elderly neighbour accused me of reversing out of my drive into his car. He alerted me to this seven weeks after the alleged incident and had no proof, plus his story had wildly conflicting versions of events. I kept my insurance company notified of this in case the old boy tried to take it further, and he eventually reported it to my insurance company (although not his own), and was laughed out of town. Would I need to declare this to a new insurance provider, despite the fact it never got past the point where he made an allegation?
    "Facism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... [it] doesn't walk in saying, "our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

  • Hi everyone, I've just got a quote on here and the best quote was from a company called 'my policy' and I'm just wondering if anybody has had any experience with then and are they any good/logit?
