How much???
Just got my renewal premium from A plan.

£891.40!

I don't think so..... Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

AXA want £274.00. And that's not with even trying to shop around.

What's going on A plan, My premium has more than doubled since last year?..

Anyone got any good recommendations for cheaper insurance? Thumbs Up 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come! Competitive initial premiums to reel you in and then huge price hikes. Just goes to show you have to shop around every year with insurance! James

I must say that's the largest insurance quote I've ever had!

No one could compete with the A plan premium last year, think it was around the £300 mark?
Shame really, as I've used them on and off for years, my first car policy was with them, and they are only a few miles away.
Strange thing is? Why give me my renewal quote, then give me an alternitive quote of £689? Which is still way too much.

Even if they came back with a ridiculously low quote now, I wouldn't use them out of principle.
Just another company sucking you in with a cheap deal, only to sting you a year down the line.
But I suppose They are all the same?

Time to talk to the mearcats again, or that daft opera singing guy. Laughing

I will be ringing in the morning to ask them not to renew this year. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Hi Ian

It doesn't look like you're insured with our specialist vehicle centre in Thatcham, we're certainly not seeing increases in premiums like the one you mention. I've sent you a PM so I can look into it.

I know we've said it before and we're doing our best to make sure our channels are as clear as possible but for the right 4x4 products and best rates please call our specialist vehicle insurance team on 01635 874646 or click on the link and you'll get through to the right guys!

^^^^ just a thought, but it might be a good idea to make sure the internal "communication channels are clear" so that when anyone contacts A Plan they are always steered towards the best product for a 4x4?

Can't rely on anyone these days, I'd recommend compare the market and use that.

Phone is a right pain, they'll only all up your phone bill and couldn't care less some. Confused $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

I've insured my standard 90 2001 TD5 on 12k miles a year, fully comp with Lloyd's (Bank) and it cost £203 a year. I tried A plan and they said they could't get close. Mike

Quick update..

A plan contacted me this morning, all sorted with a premium I was happy to pay.

There were misunderstandings on behalf of myself, and A plan, but all sorted now.

Many thanks to Henry at the Thatcham branch. Thumbs Up 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I also had quotes considerably cheaper from Direct Line & LV so changed this year. I do not mind paying a bit more, but 40% more, no thank you.
