    need to rant!!

    get this! I had a text today from my insurance company reminding me that 'its that time of year again', so I rang them and they kindly told me that as I am a valued customer and i've been with them for such a long time (sincee last June!) they'll let me have this years insurance for the same price as last years!! so I tells them that I had actually had a quote elsewhere which was £30 cheaper, they not only agreed to match it, but actually did it for another £25 less!! just goes to show how much of a mark up they actually put on!Protest  grrr  Rant over, thanks for listening!!

    Yeah, my girlfriend had a similar thing happen last month. They originally gave her a renewal for £296.00 .... After phoning them up to say she could get it cheaper elsewhere they could suddenly do the same insurance for £209.00 !!! Why couldn't they just do it for that in the first place. Always best to call them to see if a deal can be done.
