Insurance For T140 Rip Off Alert.

So the renewal notice comes through from Bennetts with in bold letters - YOUR LOWEST RENEWAL QUOTE. Not only has it gone up by £52.00 but it's now dearer than my 66 plate T100. I had my 1978 T140E on a 1000 mile a year policy with Bennetts, the T100 is on a 5000 mile a year policy with Hastings! I rang Bennetts to confirm that the auto renew feature was not active on the policy since a few years back Carole Nash tried the same trick (50% hike in price - we will automatically renew this policy with the card details we already have on file). When the call centre operative asked why I wanted to know I told her that I had got the same cover for about half of what Bennetts wanted. ''Did you speak to anyone here about that?'' she asks, I reply ''No , I had no need to because the letter in my hand says 'we've found you our lowest quote from our panel of insurers' that would mean either that you can't give me a better price or that what's written in this letter is a lie. Either way I won't be giving Bennetts my business''

Silence from the other end of the phone. It is obvious that Bennetts can do a better price but hope that we will just renew and not ask questions. Robbing bastards! This just shows that it is best to change insurers often to get the best deal.
