Default Cheeky insurance

Got our renewal quote from admiral last week for my partners 1.2 clio, its gone up nearly £400 a year. We claimed last year for damage to our car when someone hit us and even though it was nothing to do with our insurance, they said we had to mention it to other insurers if we choose to go elsewhere and it affected our renewal. I insured the cougar v6 for nearly £200 cheaper with axa than their renewal price for a crappy 1.2 clio!!!
I hate insurance companies.

They piss me off too! I've just got a gsxr1000 but last had a bike 2 weeks over 2 years ago so my no claims expired 2 weeks ago lol. So they said they cannot insure me on that bike but in the end I found a company that will still let me use them but won't 700 pounds. I then go back to the first place and they change there mind and will do it for 540 then the second place who said there was no way I'd get it for lower than 700 go to 490 as I tell them I've had a better quote!. There cunts they could have done it all along

non-fault claims bump your premium - fact.

Logic would dictate otherwise, but they claim they have statistical proof that a non-fault claim makes you a higher risk.

They make their own rules up! Admiral did it last year and we got a better quote and they matched it. They just try it on and people must just let them renew it. Your right about admiral, I will never go with them again. Before this I was with them for 5 years with multicar, they must of had about 7/8 grand off me over the years. Arseholes. Their loss
