marbleapple Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 but do realise that with Bell I've got no agreed value etc. and will have to battle with money if ever I had a serious claim but am willing to accept that. I thought Sky didn't do agreed value any more either? (I could be wrong here). As for 'on the ball' I simply post that comment up everytime some one mentions Sky.... my renew is coming up this next month so I will give then a ring again this month and see what happens.

Homer Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 really:blink: In my personal experience yes, it would be a very long story of woe but I ended up £3k down. It was a theft claim (wheels were nicked), but they were utter w**kers during the entire process. I can't even begin to describe how hopelessly inept they were handling the issue so will leave it at this as it still makes my blood boil!

Guest Budz86 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Similar with me too. Had the car vandelised (tyres slashed and windows smashed). Windows replaced after 3 weeks of arguing but tyres not replaced as they wanted my £500 excess, whereas new tyres were about £650! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris and Alana Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The only time I have ever had to get 'involved' with an insurance company was when someone hit my little fiesta in a car park. The insurance said it would go 50/50 but after explaining and sending them letters and drawings they dismissed his claim. 3 months later I got a summens through the door, the arse was now trying to sue me I made a phone call to the insurance and they said forward us the letter and we will deal with it. Bearing in mind I had no legal cover, they dealt with the whole case, paid for a barrister and I won, again. Oh this was with Norwich Union by the way. After that I would have been glad to insure my car with them again, there service was brilliant but they dont like modded cars and once the fiesta went I couldnt get insured anymore, plus there prices are not the cheapest.

No you are right Sky no longer do agreed value for new customers even if you are a club member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I left Sky this year mainly due to the poor attitude and tone of voice of the woman I spoke to. Complete contrast to the really helpful bloke I spoke to the year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Im with admiral on multi car policy £350 for my supra for year and £100 on a seat 1.6 cordova....cant complain at that! That's an amazing price for both cars!! I don't understand why more insurance companies can't do multi car. I mean you can only drive one car at a time!!

marbleapple Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You always specify named driving though, and the max mileage should indicate usage. When I rang admiral they simply stated that they didnt insure modified cars... hence a car with a bodykit wouldnt be insured by them (MattH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 When I rang admiral they simply stated that they didnt insure modified cars... hence a car with a bodykit wouldnt be insured by them (MattH) That cant be true, my bodykit and Wheels etc... are all declared and im with Admiral.

JustGav Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Can't knock sky at the moment, while they weren't able to quote for my van, I've just had fun with my new insurance company. They 'forgot' about my small claim which I mentioned to them (so it wasn't a fib on my part). Phoned me today to say the policy I've had for the past 3 weeks is null and void because when they checked with QBE re my no claims, QBE notified them of my claim. Bloke from the insurance company then informed me that he would be checking their tapes to see if I mentioned it, and surprise surprise it turns out I did and they forgot about it!! Now they suddenly want more money for the same policy when it also turns out that I had 7 and not 6 years NCD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
