The time had come again for me to renew my car insuarnce, Has it really been 12mths since I last done the insurance. I decided to get the good old yellow pages out and phone several insurers when I cam across the number for Kwik-Fit Insurance.
I telephoned them using there freephone number 0800 027 2796, After listening to nice music I was told by a voice that all there consultants where busy and If I wanted I could use there call back service, I decided to use this, So I pressed 5 on my telephone and was then asked to leave a number and my name where I wanted to be called back. Within a few mins they called back (fantastic) The person I spoke to Nick beagan taking me through the quotation.
Quote: There where about 25-30 questions in total, However this only taken about 7/9 mins to complete. Most questions did relate to your car insuarance, However there are a few questions that I felt why did I need to answer:
1, Do you smoke? I asked why they need to know, Reply: One insurer on our panel do not insure smokers. I was told this was
NIG
2, Are you a homeowner? Why I asked? Reply: Most of the panel of insurers give a discount if your a homeowner.
3, Do you have a credit card? Why I asked? Reply: as above
The panel, who they use: I was told that they search many insurers, Including Norwich union, Axa, RSA, Provident, Zurich, Zenith, Legal and General and More
Price: I was offered a price of £353.58 with an accidental excess of £250.00, I asked for a lower excess and to lower the excess by £100.00 it only taken the quote to £369.15. So well worth asking the consultant to check the excess and see what the best deal is for you.
Conditions: When I was interested in the quote the consultant went through the conditions with me, These included confirming that I was the registered owner and Keeper and the car has not been modified in any way.
