Well, it's been one hell of an evening. I had a quote for RAC through the quadruped comparison site. Couldn't complete the quote on line as the CTM code was not recognised by the RAC website. The guy on the RAC line checked all the details, but somehow the date we acquired the car was not there: not my fault as it was entered into the CTM website.
When I gave him the date, it instantly ADDED OVER £400 to the quote, rocketing it to well over the £2000 mark!!!!!!!! This was just for the lad's car alone.
Well, you've made a change to the policy, he explained......
I made sure I made my displeasure known, told him I hoped the call was recorded and that his superiors would listen to it and understand the sheer frustration customers would feel at this loading of a premium before even taking the policy out for a simple thing as a date of acquisition.
After much searching, Mrs Secure found a deal mentioned by MSE, using Money Supermarket to ask for a quote. Admiral were the most competitive (AND offered the most extras) and adding our car to make it multicar reduced the price even further, compared to the others. Now we have two cars insured paying a monthly fee equivalent to £120.
