a98pmalcolm Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 So I have my renewal though today and its more expensive than last year with another years no claims, no points or accidents. I like how they said we would have charged you "£xxx" last year we have to charge you more, even though the fictional amount they would have charged was more than my last policy price. I said to the guy, ah you having a laugh? I'm 32, I have been with sky for years, I have 14 years no claims (sky only recognize a max of 9) and I am a club member. So I will have to waste a few hours of my day off before the ace cafe meet calling back and forth Sky and HIC until one says they cant do it cheaper. And I am willing to pay in full this year. TBH I think I will end up with HIC. Thanks Sky for treating your ongoing customers with loyalty.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm just not going to renew, mine was near as damnit the same as last year too; the money for the year will easily pay for a 1uz swap and adaptor plate for the w58 and I'd rather it sat there doing nothing than piss that cash away.

Morpheus Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Blame the joyriders in Luton. A work colleague recently showed me a photo on his phone of another car that bounced off a house right in front of him. He says it happens all the time where he lives. Ever since corporal punishment was abolished the country has gone to hell in a hand basket with all these Caesarean Section, never had to fight for their lives during birth so they don't appreciate anything, don't even know they're born because technically they weren't, crisp eating, namby pamby, oyty toyty, don't touch my angry pussy wussy, single parented Millennials terrorizing the police and there's not a damned thing they can do about it. That's why we voted to leave the Liberal Leftist, Marxist Communist E.U. Nanny Superstate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra N_A Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 tbh its the same with all insurance now in same boat well similar have 8 years no claims my renewal this year was exactly same price as last year and even with another 1 year no claim. they have added something else on to the insurance making it more expensive which come in on april or some rubbish another tax. had to stick with my renewal because could not get any cheaper and that is with green light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Last year the government changed the way insurance co.s have to calc personal injury claims (search web for Ogden rate). It screwed over pretty much all insurers big style. So bottom line is the insurers pass down the extra costs to customers and pretty much every ones premium will go up this year....

sidewaysdan Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well mine went downthis year. Had a claim in my van last year 14 Ncb down to 5. Exactly the same cover saved £100 £280 with Adrian flux. But on the other note my van insurance went up by £110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-tt Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Mine came down slightly with direct line. One strange thing they want more to insure an na auto than a tt Auto!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Why not ask a mod to move this thread to the Sky insurance section and see if they are prepared to sort it out for you? Also, who was the name of the guy you were dealing with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Correct OGDEN rate changes and higher IPT at 12% compound the issue. Sorry but as with many things in life we're all in a "pool" paying for the worst kind of drivers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I left sky 2 years ago. Cheapskates. My current insurer raised this year due to my area. Next renewal if they raisie again ill ring them and not renew. And will pay less or the same amount to another company just out of spite.

Axl Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It doesn't pay to be loyal any more I was with flux for years and my premiums just kept going up and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_jms Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Personally im interested to see what happens with my policy. Paid £755 at 24. Come renewal i will be 25 so out of the young driver bracket which is what everyone told me was increasing my premium. Yet on the other hand the gov tax on insurance increasing. Will be interesting.

Wez Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Get on the phone to them, never accept the first quote. I have recently renewed with them and after a phone call my rate was reduced as expected, I know its a pain as surely as club insurers they should be offering us the best deal possible in the first place.

JayJay1374 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I had the same rubbish from sky at the weekend. Policy increased by £200. They rang today to ask if I wanted to renew and offered me £30 off for doing so. Wouldn't budge on price until I had a quote elsewhere. No chance, going to have to waste a few hours ringing round Adrian flux and green light. I'm more than happy to leave sky as last year I had a terrible service, documents with misspelled names, replacement documents sent with different names spelt wrong.

tooquicktostop Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I was with Sky for years, this year they tried to increase my premium by over 25%, I have full NCB and I am 45 years old, 10 mins on go compare and I saved myself a considerable amount, gave Sky the opportunity to match it but they were not interested, I have disliked their service over the last couple of years and I was genuinely worried about the service I would receive if I had a claim to make so happy to switch Not really sure what the club gains from them as insurers anymore, apart from the advert fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Insurance is going up all the time, I have to say I'm well happy with sky. In my case nobody can get near to them, I have a multi bike policy with them and the car with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
