AEROBILL Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Not an option that may be open to all on here (I think you may need to be over 50), but Saga were very competitive with my renewal. They offered to beat any same basis quote I could get. Try as I might I couldn't find one! Sky were hundreds off and Brindle didn't even call me back so I assume they were just as expensive. Same goes for the comparison boys, LV, Directline, Hastings etc.Top top it all off when I called to renew they offered me a £10 discount if I paid by quarterly DD's instead of my normal upfront payment, and £20 if I let them quote for my house insurance, no obligation!One interesting thing. Whilst Mrs B hardly ever drives the car, if I removed her from cover the premium would have gone up £150! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I found them a good deal initially but not on renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hp1 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I got a quote off them, and it was very good. Before the insurance came due I picked up a speeding endorsement and they refused to insure me. B*stards won't be hearing from me again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has never driven the car and doesn't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bridger Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 They are all as bad as each other really and to pad that out with some facts Flux clearly have their staff on some kind of bonus now, renewal for my Shogun came in at £1,004.00I did not even both to talk to them just sent an email telling them the usual excuse of blanket 40% increase over last year was not going to get my business for another year, two further quotes and it ended at £570.00 for any driver over 25yrs. I forgot all about saga, I'll have to give them a try for the wifes car later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked what they most looked for in a man the most common answer was a heartbeat!Relatively speaking I'll be young ( in Saga terms ) at 50 so I'll be able to take my pick, might have to change my chat up line - "fancy a ride pet I've got half an hour before the bar opens" isn't gonna fly. Are BJ's better if the knosher has no teeth?Ok this is getting silly, must be Friday 4 day royal weekend celebration looming I can feel a hangover coming on.
