Sky Insurance - Family Fleet Policy


Safely Insured

Recommended Posts

Yes, this is how the industry works, same goes for us and other brokers. If a customer is insured with one underwriter, we cannot undercut using the same underwriter.. having said that, it happens, often, some cases go through, some do not.

Some people would call that price fixing.

Out of interest Ollie, would you guys do an agreed value of £50k on this car:

It's not a question I can answer I'm afraid as I am not the agreed valuation underwriter. I do have an influence though and my personal thoughts are that this R34 is over priced.

Hmm I have to agree here and also the fact that surely if it's the same underwriter the quote should be the same! If it's cheaper with the same underwriter they shouldn't be trading

 

 

Certain brokers are given scope to move on screen rates, some move more than others in a bid to undercut their competitors, underwriters are wise to this and will keep a very close eye, also if the broker is 'too cheap' (selling policies for less than are being paid out through claims) they'll either take away the scope to move on price, take away the facility for that certain vehicle or stop dealing with the broker full stop.

This thread is ridiculous.

 

People throwing their 2 pence in with sweeping, general and inaccurate statements.

 

Sky do a great job. I didn't take a policy with them this renewal but they came close and the track day cover from CCI clinched the deal.

 

I'm sorry but many of the "average Joes" commenting here have no idea how insurance premiums are calculated. Look at Insurers overall Combined Operating Ratios in the press and then carry on pretending you think they earn a great deal of money.

Seriously, are you stupid mate?

 

Underwriters quote on the information they are given, whether direct or via a broker. If we received a submission from 3 brokers for a fleet policy requesting the same cover then would you not expect us to quote a single price to all three? Unless there's an exclusive arrangement in place with one broker why wouldn't we, quite simply it's the FAIR and RIGHT thing to do. It is by no means price fixing.
