A few Q's about telling insurance about changing address

[LiamGTR]

1. Will I be charged the £25 'Admin Fee' like I did when I changed registration?
   
2. Is there a chance my insurance is going to go UP?
   

 

Yes I know I could "Just phone my insurance company and find out" but I don't what to phone up and say "Ah I have a 'friend' who is moving house and he wants to know ... & ... and then hang up." Sounds far too fishy to me.

 

= For all sensible replys.

 

FU = For all knobish replys.

1. Will I be charged the £25 'Admin Fee' like I did when I changed registration? depends on insurers policy
   
2. Is there a chance my insurance is going to go UP? again depends on crime levels of new postcode

So really there is still a chance of both? Damn!

I don't think mind will go down as it's still only 5 mins away from where I live, but the no charge thing is handy to know, thanks

fraid so, just as much chance of the opposite tho, no policy change charge and premium might go down or remain the same

Here's hoping

If you move to a higher rated area then there may be a increase. If lower then a decrease but if the same then no charge on our scheme.

my mates went up from moving less than ten minutes walk away still in the same town etc. he was just slightly more inside the town tho so went up.

So if it's lower, i'll get money BACK!?

If it goes up, i'm leaving them like, no 2 ways about it, they've taken £1,600 or so off me and are they feck taking any more! I'd rather cancel now and have £1,100 or so back they told me i'd get last week when I enquired about canceling, and live without a car until I can find cheaper insurance.

thats it liam stick it to the man

[LiamGTR]

thats it liam stick it to the man

Lmao, Mr Motivator over here!

 

But seriously though there's no chance they're getting more money off me, £1500 or something for the policy + £169 for 3 points (ok thats my fault) + £25 for 'admin fee' to change my reg (again .. my fault, but still a Fcuking rip)

[Jordan99940]

it is ridiculous soon they will be charging you to take a sh!t

[PeeWee]

Get onto the phone & ask them, this thread could go on for ever & the only people that can tell you for sure is your own insurance.

Mines just gone up £120 for my renewal with no explanation?

No changes from last year on my side?

[Lee R]

£25 admin fee for this sort of thing is fucking scandelous.

[Craig855S]

Phone em up and hope for the best, I imagine if your premium does go up it will only be by a tiny amount, and £25 to stay insured is scandalous (if it turns out to be the case), but necesary. You cant cancel your insurance and do without a car for the sake of £25, doing this will only Fcuk over your no claims and when you do get a car again you'll be ripped off AGAIN, get this year wrapped up and then do what you want.

 

If there is no admin fee, and the new place is a lower rated crime area, or has a driveway or garage, then yes you will see a rebate, if it's the opposite then you'll need to get your debit card out..

 

Insurance prices have risen this year, I'm paying more today for a diesel 306 than i was paying for my wonderful volvo at the beginning of this years policy, and i was charged admin fees to change car details (from volvo to bmw, then bmw to pug)
