Motor Insurance - Comments & Tips Reviews

I recently had fortis insurance and they have been a total nightmare from day one, my car was made a right off last year, and im still fighting with Fortis 6 months down the line im still battling with them, they refuse to settle this and are making excuses if not lying to me and others involved.
I wouldnt recomment Fortis to anyone now, there service was the worst and still is, they may be cheep but it certainly shows in there service.
Done touch fortis with your money and your safety, they are not to be trusted in any way shape or form!

What can i say?...insurance asbolutely stinks, and i just cant help but get the feeling that the minute a young driver calls up for a quote, the guy on the other end of the line is rubbing his hands together in preparation for the doing-over that the innocent caller is about to recieve. However, as bad as this sounds, if you know the "tricks ...  Read the complete review

A few tips I have discovered whilst finding insurance over the years: Put another person on your insurance =========================== This is a simple tip for younger drivers, especially under 25's.

Sadly it’s ...  Read the complete review

Two years ago, my son bought a Vauxhall Corsa on hire purchase terms. It had a 1.2 litre engine. For some reason the look of the Corsa or the speed, didn't do anything for him. So he spend most of his money on alloy wheels, music systems, etc etc etc. As I've said he wasn'y content with the speed, so he had a bigger engine put ...  Read the complete review

This is going to be a long tale, so please be patient, be prepared to be astonished but, above all, be delighted with the World Wide Web’s never ending capacity to entertain.

A sad tale – but make sure it doesn’t happen to you! Driving along a fairly narrow country road on a bank-holiday Friday evening, I saw a A 4x4 with trailer approaching, so I pulled into the side of the road and stopped to give him passing space. Then ….CRASH! …. a small car had failed to stop and rammed me from ...  Read the complete review

I suppose in one way l was lucky in that until l was 25 years old l drove a motorbike which meant that l didn’t get stung for the exorbitant fees that insurance companies charge younger drivers. I am sure that it is often cheaper for new drivers under 21, to buy a new car that comes with two years 'free' insurance, than to buy a ...  Read the complete review

I went with Premium Line for my car insurance last year and was happy very happy with the quote being a couple of hundred quid cheaper than the nearest. I went along happily for 11 months- until I had a crash that is. My car was written off as was the other car involved. It happened on the 8th November last year. The police came and they predicted ...  Read the complete review

I have just spent many happy hours getting online quotes for motor insurance (groan) and, being unsure of what car I would eventually end up with, I initially got quotes for a number of small cars - which is what I was after.
