Changing Insurance Details

[gettin2dizzy]

Just been on the phone to Quinn Insurance:

I need to change my address; will that affect my premium?

Yes sir, it will do
Now I've moved the bike from being kept on the road in a ****-hole area, to a crime free area - IN a garage!

SO why didn't my premium go down?
If I did the opposite you could guarantee I'd get stung.

(And as I'm badmouthing insurance companies, A Quote has been billing me for 12 months since I canceled the policy)

SO why didn't my premium go down?

Because they have you over the proverbial barrel - you have to change your address, or invalidate your insurance. Or cancel and lose no claims, or bend-over and pay whatever they say.


Did they try to tap you up for an "admin fee" too?

G2D - other than this are quinn generally good?

They seem to be coming out cheapest on gocompare.com

How much did it go up by?

[gettin2dizzy]

It didn't go up, but it was £150 cheaper when I generated the quote for a 'garaged bike' :(

Quinn are alright actually. Pretty stroppy about proof of NCD and the like though.

I got the admin fee when I changed address :smt019

You'll get the admin fee but the premium will go down. Companies don't pick and choose their premiums, at least we don't at Saga, but still; the cheaper cost will nullify the admin fee and depending on your premium now I'd expect between 10-30% off.
