I want to rant about car insurance. I just got my renewal notice in and they have hiked the rate again. No accidents, nothing, but every year they want to increase my premium, despite adding years to my no claims bonus. In the past, premiums used to fall!
In recent years, I have to go through the whole process of switching insurers so I get a decent price. Its complicated because using the online tools, sometimes they don't quite match up with the TOC of the insurer. e.g. The online tool said I didn't have to take out the breakdown cover with the AA, so I got the breakdown cover from another supplier. When I signed up to the AA, they insisted the deal was only available if I had the breakdown cover. So, for the last year, I've been paying for two breakdown cover policies and never broke down anyway!
What do you guys do? Do you switch each year? Maybe it is different in the US but in the UK, it is a fiasco.
