car insurance costs? group 18

[tikay]

Good grief, is "cheapest" the only criteria by which to book Car Insurance? Does "best" not count as a criteria any more, or do we say "it's cheapest, & therefore best"?

So we save £40, & then all get on our high horses when they offer poor service or some dodgy "small print" after we've had a prang?

hehe..no TK, even though i am a penny pincher I will go for a decent insurance..stil saving a few 100 makes a fair bit of difference.

Yup, it makes a difference if they get all difficult & arsey when you most need them!

And I guess nobody - Claw apart, who whooshed me - remembers Barlow-Clowes, which was the best example ever of folks chasing "unbelievably good" deals.....

I know of Barlow-Clowes - the Ombudsman was involved

Sure was, due to the incredible gullibility of the Barlow-Clowes Clients, &, of course, the fact that B-C was just a tad bent. But it had hundreds of thousands of Clients, because they made impossibly good offers, which the Clients were dumb enough to believe were possible. I would not have compensated them a penny-piece, it was the lethal combination of greed & gullibility, mixed in with rank stupidity.

Just a point on the "Classic car insurance"  Just watch out if you change vehicles and change insurers as you dont gain NCD on classic car policies.
