“Poor customer retention”

★★★☆☆

written by Cole335 on 11/02/2015

Their initial quote for my policy was pretty good, it wasn't the cheapest, but the excesses were good, so I went with them.
Then I had nothing to do with them, nothing happened, no need to be in contact with them.
Then I received my renewal quote, and it was offensive. The policy was originally £350, the renewal £562. The usual websites came back with a plethora of prices under £250 for a new policy with the same details, even Hastings Direct gave me a quote for a shade over £300.
I find the renewal price and quote offensive and will not use this company again

Hi,

Thanks for your time in reviewing us, I appreciate your feedback. We find that online quotes become cheaper when the details we collected a year previously have changed or are updated online. We can use them to re-quote you after amending your policy and will find in the avast majority of cases that we can pricematch. Call us free and we can do the same for you.

Many thanks,

Joe
