Ok, let's make this short and sweet and just confirm some of the things that the local expert in the pub tells you. 1. Brokers earn commission. 2. If your insurer was cheap last year, it doesn't mean that they will be this year. 3.Brokers shop around. They do,but only with the companies that they hold agencies. 4. They ...  Read the complete review

My son who is 18, passed his driving test in January. Because we couldn't find anyone to insure him for under £1,000 I took out an insurance in my name and put him on as a named driver. This still cost £500 and means that he is not building up any no claims bonus. He has decided he wants to get a better car, i.e. bigger, ...  Read the complete review

So here we are again. It's that time of year when all of those payments are due. Road Tax and Car Insurance are the most crippling things, especially when they both expire on the same day. On the televison this morning I heard some devastating news for us drivers. The average insurance policy of £336.00 has gone up within the past ...  Read the complete review

Cast your mind back to when you were younger, when you were about to start to drive. Its one of the most eagerly awaited aspects of life – driving a car. I don’t know about you but since I was young I always looked forward to owning my own car, I always had in mind what car I wanted as my first car I wanted a Vauxhall Astra ...  Read the complete review

What is the point of having a large insurance company when it appears almost impossible to ever speak to a human being? I have called a total of ten times in two days doesn't result in a single human being, this is one car that is not going to be insuraed with CIS next year! There is no facility for them to take a phone number and ...  Read the complete review

A new revolutionary method of paying for your car insurance may well be available to European motorists by 2001. "Pay-As-You-Drive", where drivers pay rates varying between 0.9 and 5 pence a mile instead of an annual premium, is already available to U.S. motorists. Using new G.P.S.(Global Positioning Satellite) technology to ...  Read the complete review

I am currently in the process of purchasing a new car, as my current one is starting to get a bit tired now with 120,000 miles on the clock, and many cold winters (and summers) having been braced by it. The heater has also packed in which is a pain in this weather!! Anyway, I have recently tried to get some quotes for a car that I fancy ...  Read the complete review

In my experience with buying Motor insurance it certainly pays to shop around. I know some people havent got the time to be messing around phoning all different companies but you can make a big saving. Each Insurance company puts different priorities on certain areas. For example one company may like the customer to be under 25 while ...  Read the complete review

Now correct me if I am wrong, but it is only possible to have one person driving the car at any time.This is fact. So why do we get charged for more than one driver. If you have a 18 year old person on a family car, why do they have to pay for the 18year old as well as the other members who will be driving then car when they have already paid the ...  Read the complete review

The thing to realise about car insurance is that each car insurance company specialises in only a few of the various categories of people. So just because a company gave a good deal to your father-in-law who drives a brand new BMW sports, and has fully comprehensive cover does not mean that it will also give a good deal for you for Third Party ...  Read the complete review

The only insurance broker I have stayed with for more than one year and in true fashion I only found out how abysmal they are when I came to make a claim. I stayed with Kwik Fit Motor insurance as they offered me a competitive quote. However midway during my second year I had an accident. A clear cut non fault collision at a junction which should ...  Read the complete review

As a journalist, I am in the same high-risk category for car insurance as stunt men and racing drivers... As a result, I have spent much of my adulthood cursing rising premiums, and wishing I led the kind of exciting, Bond-girl lifestyle the insurers seem to think I do! Then along came Privilege. All insurers are obviously out to make ...  Read the complete review

On the news of the increase in Motor Insurance for the year 2001 by up to 25%, I am continually disgusted with the attitude and mentality of both the insurance companies and the people who use them. Why do we have to pay higher premiums next year, because people are taken in with adverts like Claims Direct: 'Have you had an accident ...  Read the complete review

I find that all the insurance cmpanies do not take into consideration any loyalty bonuses,or reduced premiums for a claim free record.instead they use my postcode to penalise me.I think they should start finding out more about the potential customer,and build up a profile,or a points system.and then maybe could offer a more raalistic ...  Read the complete review
