Advantages: A cheap laugh

Disadvantages: Increased premiums for the safety-conscious

I just have to tell someone! My wife has recently been ringing car insurance companies for a quote.

When she rang AXA she was asked if there had been any modifications to her car. She probably didn't need to mention it, but she explained that ABS (anti-lock braking system) had been added as a factory-fitted option. The operator put her on hold and came back to say that they wouldn't be able to insure her because ABS is dangerous! My wife laughed at her out loud and asked if she knew what ABS is. The operator explained that "it's something to do with the brakes, and it's dangerous".

If you want a quote from AXA make sure you keep quiet about your lethal ABS. Shhhh!!

My wife wasn't going to let them insure her just so I could post a review! There is a tenuous serious side, but it's mainly here for the laugh (as I assume AXA are).

Sorry for the low rating, but this didn't tell us much about the company. To do a really useful review of an insurance company I think you really need to get past the quotation stage.

Interesti ng story though!
