This is really winding me up now. Not because they get cheaper insurance than blokes, because they get fucked over on price when they buy a car anyway

But seriously, all this sexism charges that women are bringing against blokes, Why is a 'women only' insurers allowed?!

It has to be violating some sort of law somewhere?!

 

save a bunch of fivers and get on down to sheilas wheels

 

Well all the "women only" insurers i have tried for qoutes, wont insure me or are ott priced

 

if you sue sheilas wheels snowy, i'll sue yorkie

seriously though, there are some only male insurers eg ''bad boy insurance'' which is part of the hsbc group...which has a female counterpart ladybird insurance...who I was with last year.

 

More like, 'For ladies who insure there 04 plate Corsa life, which they bought on finance at 80%APR, Sheilas wheels are superstars"

 

the thing is there not cheaper at all they just play on the women are better drivers thing! big con

 

Well i wouldn't know what their charges are like cos i never asked for a quote (cos i'm a bloke )

Ah well, if they are paying more, then i aint fussed

Katie, yeah lol, I overlooked the yorkie adverts At least we are clawing something back

 

heh...always the way eh? each way will moan about unfairness on the other side, Id never say ''I hate the yorkie adverts, but its good we get our own insurance companies''

I found last year the womens only was much cheaper for me, but I'm with tescos this year...sheilas wheels being 140 more expensive, and they wanted £250 excess to give me ''£300 handbag cover''...I don't generally use a handbag, that's what pockets were invented for....and even if I did I wouldn't leave the fooker in the car to get nicked

 

Same for my wife as well......

 

I remember a documentary about robbery and muggings and they surveyed the contents of several thousand handbags and found the value of the contents and bag to average £700!!!

No wonder they are easy targets for thiefs. They'd have to spend 5 minutes turning out your pockets to get anywhere near that, and nick your clothes!!

 

And my missus. Think they're a con, playing on the fact that women will remember them for being 'females only' insurance and they think they'll get a better deal. In reality, it's prob the same company a man can ring, only they'll be called something different.

 

well i could understand if there werent so many boy racers! but there are, speeding and writing their cars off, make it too dangerous for us normal people to drive around. so i think its fair we have women insurers!!!!

 

sheilas wheels is actually "esure" and Diamond are 'Admiral' so they are not really women only are they.

Companys use this sort of marketing though because it works on consumers little tiny brains simple as...

 

oi less of the consumers,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you ment womens tiny little brains

 

 

Fookin right about the hand bags... My other half wont go anywhere with out hers and she hasnt got one that cost under £300...

Thing is she just treats them like shite, if i carried a £300 bag, id have to have a bag for the bag

 

yep me too, they dont do 'modified cars'

 

They get away with it because, 'statistically' women do have less claims than men. Its not sexism if 'facts' are involved.

However we all know that its actually the women that have the most accidents, and there on their blokes poilcy as named drivers, so its the bloke that suffers for it, and is the person claiming.

We all know that men are better drivers obviously.

 

And the cover is crap!.

My sis went with Diamond a couple of years ago (part of the Admiral group along with Elephant, none of them are worth a wet wank).

The grief she had when somebody ran into her was untrue. Diamond wouldn't authorise the replacement exhaust as it was worn (it was 6 months old as my bro and I fitted it). They then tried to charge her £300 for a new exhaust and said they couldn't release the car without an exhaust as it wasn't legal. Several phone calls to Diamond later (who washed their hands and said they couldn't do anything.

 

why not blacks or whites or asians (although they do have there own driving school ) only insurers. discrimination is against the law and i'm surpised their allowed to go ahead with this kind of thing consdierong we're in blairs pc britain.

 

Its not discrimination as there are facts to support why they'll only cover women, as said in my other post above.

 

They don't only cover women

ITS MARKETING !!!!!!

 

Why dont people get this? Its a gimmick, plain and simple.

 

Agreed.

How many women twat cars that are in their husbands/boyfriends name ?

Any idea who the parent company of Sheila's wheels are?

 

Oranoco..read the post above

 

Its all a con playing on the women are safers drivers shpeil,

For example.....

My mother got a quote thru diamond thinking ladies specialist = cheap insurance. ok so quoted 320 quid on her fiesta.

She added me to the policy and it dropped the price to 270 quid.

Nuff Said i think.
